Making one because I can't see a relevant thread.Looking to get A Hero of Our Time and Anna Karenina. Which translations should I get of either? AHOOT (heh) has one by Nabokov that apparently has notes which sounds good to me. Will happily answer any questions about translations for books I'm familiar with in the meantime.
>>25265500Anna Karenina I would go for Maudes (Everyman's), Bartlett (Oxford, best notes), or Schwartz (Yale) if you can find it. I would personally avoid P&V but some people like them, and if you've read and enjoyed one of their other translations you'll probably like their AK one too. Rosemary Edmonds is excellent too if you don't mind her getting rid of Russian naming conventions (i.e. Anna Karenin instead of -a). I read her War & Peace and it's the best.A Hero of Our Time I would go for Foote (the one you posted) or Nabokov, but all translations in print are good. I read Foote, Nabokov, Randall, and Pasternak Slater, and none of them are bad. Foote doesn't have any notes though.
