Which is the best translation for Anna Karenina?
My local bookstore has the Richard Pevear and Larissa Volokhonsky translation for 50 cents.

Honest? None! You can try Richard Pevear and Larissa Volokhonsky though.

Go with Maude. Approved by Tolstoy himself.

Either Maude, if you want to be safe, or try one of the newer translations by Bartlett or Schwartz. I read P&V and it wasn't bad, but it was clunky.

By the way, Schwartz has a great translation of Oblomov.
