Get ReadyBy Hande ZThe two popular translations of lsquo;Crime and Punishmentrsquo; before the 1993 translation by Richard Pevear and Larissa Volokhonsky. were by Constance Garnett and David McDuff. The Pevear/Volokhonsky translation became my favourite ndash; until Oliver Readyrsquo;s translation came along. Not knowing a word of Russian. I declare my favourite only by the enjoyment I derived from reading the book in English.Many things may indeed be lost in translation. and many others get misrepresented but we may not know. The result of reading only the English versions is that onersquo;s choice is largely subjective. Compared to the Garnett version. the Pevear/Volokhonsky translation seems very modern ndash; until Readyrsquo;s came along. Little things like changing lsquo;had notrsquo; to lsquo;hadnrsquo;trsquo; renders Readyrsquo;s version not only a little more modern but also more informal. That is not to say that the atmosphere of old Russia is lost. Ready uses lsquo;fibsrsquo; for lsquo;liesrsquo; (Pevear/Volokhonsky) in one passage.Ultimately. the reader has to decide for himself which style he enjoys more. Here is a comparison from one of my favourite passages (there are many) from the book. I set out first the Pevear/Volokhonsky version then the Ready version:ldquo;What do you think?rdquo; Razmumikhin shouted. raising his voice even more. ldquo;You think itrsquo;s because theyrsquo;re lying? Nonsense! I like it when people lie! Lying is manrsquo;s only privilege over all other organisms. If you lie- you get to the truth! Lying is what makes me a man. Not one truth has ever been reached without lying fourteen times or so. maybe a hundred and fourteen. and thatrsquo;s honourable in its way; well. but we canrsquo;t even lie with our minds! Lie to me. but in your own way. and Irsquo;ll kiss you for it. Lying in onersquo;s own way is almost better than telling the truth in someone elsersquo;s way; in the first case yoursquo;re a man. and in the second ndash; no better than a bird. The truth wonrsquo;t go away. but life can be nailed shut; there are examples. (Pevear/Volokhonsky)lsquo;Now what are you thinking?rsquo; cried Razumikhin. raising even more. lsquo;That itrsquo;s their lies I canrsquo;t stand? Nonsense! I like it when people lie. Telling lies is humanityrsquo;s sole privilege over other organism. Keep fibbing and yoursquo;ll end up with the truth! Irsquo;m only human because I lie. No truthrsquo;s ever been discovered without fourteen fibs along the way. if not one hundred and fourteen. and therersquo;s honour in that. But our lies arenrsquo;t even our own! Lie to me by all means. but make sure itrsquo;s your own. and then Irsquo;ll kiss you. After all. lies of your own are almost better than someone elsersquo;s truth: in the first case yoursquo;re human; in the second yoursquo;re just a bird! The truth wonrsquo;t run away. but life just might ndash; wouldnrsquo;t be the first time.Readyrsquo;s version has a table of chronological events and a fresh. inspiring introduction that will help the first-time reader understand and appreciate the context of lsquo;Crime and Punishmentrsquo;21 of 21 people found the following review helpful. Formatting reviewBy Kevin PI am not going to write a review critiquing Dostoevsky. But for kindle readers. this version of the book is formatted perfectly. And. the translation was enjoyable to read. I started both this and the free version and found this to be the more enjoyable experience. I consider it to have been worth the purchase price.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. I found out this book was something I actually enjoyed and would definitely read againBy Pat LimI have to admit. this book totally exceeded my expectations. I was forced to pick up this book for class. otherwise this book would not have seemed interesting to me. However. I found out this book was something I actually enjoyed and would definitely read again. The buildup at the beginning is quite slow. but the story starts to pick up in a rapid pace. It forces the reader to reexamine themselves. and question their own motives and thoughts. This book gives good insight into how peoples minds operate under extreme stress and the possible consequences of their actions. There is a reason why this book is a classic. everyone should have a chance to read this book in the future.
