Funny how translations of Dostoyevsky is a contentious topic in English-speaking world. In ru-speaking world, we bicker about Harry Potter and Lord of Rings translations :) There’s a particularly inflammatory translation of HP which causes people to swear that they won’t let their children read it.

Dostoyevsky is one of the greatest writers who has ever lived. I think getting Dostoyevsky and Tolstoy and Nabokov translated well is far more important than getting Harry Potter translated well.

Degenerate gambler, graphomaniac, and a pedophile--what a list.

btw, there are likely more HP books sold then all books by all these authors combined.
