It's not just good it's beloved.
Everyone who disagrees is a newfag who got memed by the jew york times and P&V
>>8228694
i googled it just now after being the book at a used book shop and the New Yorker seems to have their head up their ass.
i know that /lit/ generally hits it on the spot regarding >translations, just wanted to make sure
Get the Avsey translation

The superior translation is the one done by Pevear and Volokhonsky.
I just picked up their translation of Crime and Punishment and it is by far better than any other version I've read.
>tfw reading a McDuff/Penguin translation like a giant idiot

McDuff's translations are some of the best.
Although I've read P&V of anything offered in it past reading the Garnett translation of TBK, I nonetheless loved it and would read it again.
I feel that the translation gives it a fuller English tone but then again I don't think any translated tone will ever be exactly how the authors native language intended it to be.
It's the one I am reading and although the tone dosent fit sometimes or sound how the author intended it to, it provided the content and that's all that matters.
