I didn't like their translations of Anna Karenina and Crime and Punishment, I read other versions and enjoyed them much more.

Maude or Rosamund Bartlett for Anna Karenina

David McDuff or Michael Katz for Crime and Punishment

Planning to read Anna Karenina, I'm thinking of getting The Maudes Translation. I'm thinking of getting The Everyman's version of it, though I'm a bit worried that it may lack some notes. Meanwhile, there's an Oxford version that's only paperback, which no doubt has notes.

So, I'm in a bit of a dilemma between getting The Everyman's, which has a better build quality, and The Oxford's which will contain notes.

So, my /lit/bros, do you need notes to read Anna Karenina or can you just read it fine without any notes at all?

Why is this so fucking boring? War and Peace blows this outta the fucking water.

800 pages in & I can't wait for this dumb bitch to get run over by a train, or something.
