Hello everybody,
Please can you recommend me a good translation for the Brothers Karamozov. I have read most Dostoyevky novels in the Penguin classic versions and have enjoyed them. I did read the Devils in a different translation, which escapes me now (I was travelling at the time) and remember it not feeling as authentic as the others.
I do normally like getting my books from second hand or charity bookshops but always have such a hard time finding Karamazov. I have recently found a copy translated by Constance Garnett but it is an American publication. I have no preconceptions about that but it doesn't quite seem to have the authentic use of language I am after.
Could anyone recommend a translation that is as close to the original as possible?
thank you
