Do you have any tips/advice related to Dostoevsky? Editions? Annotations? I'll take anything.
- FabHK 10y agoUnfortunately not, neither for Tolstoy. Anyone?
- ignoramoose 10y agoI'm by no means an expert but from my experience the Maude translation of War and Peace is rather nice. Can be a little difficult to find though.
- rublev 10y agoNice, I've got the Maude translation of War and Peace. Search on Libgen, 99% of things are there.
- sharp11 10y agoI read Garnett and P/V translations side by side for a while and found P/V to be remarkably more vivid.
- shatov 10y agoWe've been using both P/V and Garnett on this Goodreads group for "Demons". The prose of P/V is often more arresting and grabs one's interest more readily; Garnett is also quite good in most places, and has the advantage of being available on Gutenberg for copy/paste. https://www.goodreads.com/group/show/207716-dostoevsky-demons https://www.goodreads.com/group/show/207716-dostoevsky-demon...
