No, but they aren't as amazing as their marketing says they are. "Most accurate translation" my ass.

FMD is bad. Particularly in reference to P&V. Same goes to LNT and MAB. They are bad because they chose to write in a moribund dialect instead of a civilized Kultur-language like German or English.

what do you guys think of Magarshack's translation of the Brothers Karamazov

>> No.8359279

Maude translators LITERALLY worked with Tolstoy and got his approval.

Tolstoy = Maude

Dostoevsky = McDuff

P&V a shit.

>> No.8359287

Why isn't it V&P? From what I understand V did the actual translation, P just basically edited it.

>> No.8359295

>>8359287
Because P comes before V.

>> No.8359328

Read Magarshack translation of Crime & Punishment, was bretty based desu

Then again I don't know Russian; I just heard it was a good one and it seemed a-OK to me

>> No.8359354

Why is the McDuff version 300 extra pages than the P&V version?
