I've read a few Russian novels in English, and had heard of Pevear and Volokhonsky while hunting around for translations but never landed on one by them. I'm a big fan of the Norton Critical Editions for literature, they're well edited and full of context that is hard to gather on your own.

Their edition of The Brothers Karamazov [0] (translated by Susan McReynolds) stands in my memory as being a pleasure to read and ponder...definitely a book that stays with you over time.

A more critical version of Pevear and Volokhonsky's work appears here: https://www.commentary.org/articles/gary-morson/the-pevearsi...

Personally I'd highly recommend reading Michael R. Katz's translation of The Brothers Karamazov instead.

Have been a long time fan of Pevear & Volokhonsky but I've recently purchased the Katz's translation of TBK and like what I see!
