- 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...
