are these translations good?

/lit/ memes against them. From what I understand they lean towards literal translations, which results in awkwardness occasionally.

It was one of the most painful book to read, and I mean that in a good way. It's one of those books so close to reality, that makes you ask - "why even write this". I always found Notes to be a special work for Dostoevsky, much more closer to something like Gogol's Overcoat, than the rest of Dosto's novels, even if I generally prefer them over Notes.

I've read Notes, The double, the gambler and now in reading The Demons this summer, going for Crime and punishment after.
Dostoevskij always finds a way to speak to my heart, but also makes me laugh.
Only shame is that I don't know russian

>>13863678
i dont think ive ever been so affected by a book.
i made this thread right after i finished the part in the brothel. i had went outside for a smoke and was thinking about it.
i went back inside and finished it.
went out for another smoke and now im here
>>13863725
i actually didnt read this version of the book
i have a bantam classics version of it with a different translation. and for the most part it was great.
>>13863759
this is my first dostoyevsky book and it did speak to my heart

>> No.13863803

i am really bad at concentrating and it is really hard for me to read
the only reason i was able to finish this one is because i read it in one day
historically when i read a longer book about 50% of the time i will not read it for 2 weeks after getting a few hundred pages in. and then its really hard to finish
now may be a good time to read his other longer books though since im in the mood

>> No.13864107

>>13864013
the first 40 pages of it took me longer to read than the 90 that followed
it has a much different style in the 2nd part
