thats because youre reading P&V you absolute melon

>>9824717
Sorry but I'm not learning Russian just to read one author.

>>9824717
What translation do you rec? The consensus outside of /lit/ seems to be P&V.

>>9825447
Contrary to popular belief, /lit/ doesn't always have bad opinions.

>>9825451
I generally take /lit/s opinion more seriously then random internet forums. I read the Garnet version of C&P and the Ginsburg version of notes. I really enjoyed Dostoevsky and I want to read the best translation when I get to Brothers Karamazov.

p.s. Im not op

Mistake

McDuff is the patrician choice for Dosto

>>9824693
why the fuck would they translate "Starets" and not leave it like that in the first place

>>9825633
Idk. There wasn't even a footnote.

Not the faggot OP but I have similar question, which translation should I go with?

>>9826991

Constance Waifu Garnett

>>9825447
Mcduff for dosto
Maude for Tolstoy

>>9825633
Avsey doesn't make that mistake
