i have the translation shown in your pic and it's fucking unbearable. it's like it was translated by someone with a working understanding of russian grammar, a russian-to-english dictionary, and nothing else. it's very clunky and boring, and lacking any nuance or flow. basically what you would get if you took me with my 2 years of spanish and handed me don quixote. sure, word-for-word it would be accurate, but that doesn't make it the same book.
