Translations of Pushkin, Tolstoy?

Tue May 3 13:58:23 UTC 2005

Anyone have any strong feelings about the Johnston vs. the Falen
translation of E.O. for a survey course in 19th-century Russian
literature?  My sense (after a cursory inspection) is that the Johnston
hews more closely to the original while the Falen "reads better."  Other
suggestions?

How about _Death of Ivan Illich_?  Any suggestions there? Anyone seen the
Pasternak-Slater translation?
