Translations

[w martin]

you might want to have a look at rachel may's "translator in the
text" (northwestern up: 1994) for an excellent comparison and study
of different translations of both dostoevsky and bulgakov (granted,
there's been a few published since). of course, the truly avid reader
of russian literature will want to read them all.


>Please advise:
>Who's translation into English of "The Brothers Karamazov" would you
>recommend for an avid reader of Russian literature? Also, who's
>translation best communicates the essence of Bulgakov's "Master and
>Margarita" (and includes the scene in the hard-currency store)?
>Thank you.
