Title: Beautiful Book-- BAD TRANSLATION
Review: I was fortunate enough to take a semester long course on Dostoevsky, and instead of buying the reccomended translation (fyi: Vintage Classic translated by Richard Pevear and Larissa Volokhonsky) I bought this one, and ended up regretting it. The words used in some of the critical passages are translated in such a way that it gives the reader a much different impression of the plot and mindset of the characters. In addition, this particular translation is very awkward in many places making it significantly more difficult to read. I ended up buying the other translation anyway, and my enjoyment of this incredible novel improved tremendously. Spend the extra money on the Vintage edition, Brother's Karamazov is worth it!
