On a related note, check this out; i came across it in looking at different versions of brothers karamazov. It's pretty amazing how much the tone of a piece of writing can get altered in the process (now if only i spoke russian too, to compare): http://www.dartmouth.edu/~karamazo/translations.html that’s a great dostoevsky cover, who did the translation on that one?
