Title: Wretched translation
Product review: This edition was published in the USSR and exported to the west, the goal being to turn people on to "Soviet" literature. The translators tried to smooth things out and managed to suck all the life out of the language. Too bad because the printing is hardcover and OK physically. Spend the extra few dollars on a Penguin Classics edition instead of wasting your money.
