Finally getting around to Dostoyevsky, which translations of Crime and Punishment are worth reading?

>>	Anonymous Mon Oct 10 12:09:12 2016 No.8603731 >>8603729 garnett.

>>	Anonymous Mon Oct 10 12:22:29 2016 No.8603776 >>8603729 If you can find a revised Garnett translation, that's great. McDuff is good. I read Monas and enjoyed it. P&V are only liked by Russian academics who enjoy accurate literalism and people who don't know what they are talking about

>>	Anonymous Mon Oct 10 12:45:51 2016 No.8603827 Garnett or McDuff I've been having trouble deciding myself.

>>	Anonymous Mon Oct 10 12:49:12 2016 No.8603837 Serious question: Does it contain pathetic Russian apology? >Alas, the wickedness of the world! We are poetically the victims of our own circumstance! Behold us, world! The noble slavage will crucify himself yet again! We alone know this torment!

>>	Anonymous Mon Oct 10 12:54:10 2016 No.8603850 I have the P&V translation of TBK and Crime and Punishment and they are both very good.

>>	Anonymous Mon Oct 10 13:20:47 2016 No.8603914 I haven't read any other translations, but McDuff was pretty good. Although I felt it was very direct in its writings at time.

>>	Anonymous Mon Oct 10 16:29:02 2016 No.8604533 >>8603945 I've heard that translation is quite good. In my experience newer translations are typically better.
