Negative Positive
Title: A Russian speaking reader
Review: The translation is lousy. The one made by Michael Glenny is far better, though his is sometimes very free - for example he may write "heart attack" instead of lungs sarcoma, and he calls Solovki an asylum while it's a prison, he also may omit passages (not very important ones, though) but his translation beautifully conveys Bulgakov's humour and that's the most important part. The translation we are discussing here does not do this and the book sounds dead.
