Last check: 2007-11-01) The previous translations of the husband-and-wife team of Larissa Volokhonsky and Richard Pevear--The Brothers Karamazov, Crime and Punishment, and Notes From Underground--have been universally praised for capturing Dostoevsky's force and subtlety, and all three works are now considered the English standards. Volokhonsky and Pevear's translation brings to the surface all of Dostoevsky's subtle linguistic and nationalist humor, and the copious notes are indispensable for making one's way through the thicket of 19th-century Russian politics. Pevear and Volokhonsky have found critical acclaim with previous translations of Dostoevsky's Brothers Karamazov (Classic Returns, LJ 8/90), Crime and Punishment (Classic Returns, LJ 1/92), and Notes from Underground (Classic Returns, LJ 7/93). www.amazon.de /exec/obidos/ASIN/1857151828   (1901 words)

Crisis Magazine The latest English translation of Tolstoy’s Anna Karenina, from the husband-and-wife team of Richard Pevear and Larissa Volokhonsky, is currently an Oprah’s Book Club selection, but it would be churlish to hold that against this marvelous translation. In the introduction to the translation, Pevear and Volokhonsky note that, in consciously composing the book as a novel, Tolstoy went against the philosophical and literary grain of his time. Tolstoy reworked the story in his mind a number of times; early versions were almost crudely moralistic—the fat, vulgar woman with a misshapen nose is the adulteress, while her handsome husband is the model of Christian virtue. www.crisismagazine.com /december2004/book1.htm   (777 words)

Eizie - Richard Pevear and Larissa Volohonsky: Russian-to-English translators turned Oprah stars   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01) It was on Dostoevsky that Pevear and Volokhonsky cut their teeth; their translations of Crime and Punishment, The Brothers Karamazov, The Idiot, Demons and Notes From Underground have become the standard English-language texts. But Pevear and Volokhonsky have received the most attention for their new translation of Leo Tolstoy's Anna Karenina, which hit the bestseller lists recently after Oprah Winfrey picked it as her book club's summer selection. Volokhonsky, who was born and raised in Leningrad (now St. Petersburg), first visited the United States in the early 1970s and happened across Pevear's Hudson Review article about the Soviet dissident author Andrei Sinyavsky. www.eizie.org /News/1092659205   (685 words)

Brightsurf: Demons (Vintage Classics) by Fyodor Dostoevsky by Richard Pevear, Larissa Volokhonsky Inspired by the true story of a political murder that horried Russians in 1869, Fyodor Dostoevsky conceived of Demons as a "novel-pamphlet" in which he would say everything about the plague of materialist ideology that he saw infecting his native land. Varvara is a major character for the first part of the novel, and then, frustratingly, she all but disappears from the pages until the very end, but in the meantime, Dostoevsky 'replaces' her with a doppelganger in the form of the character of Yulia, the vain wife of the new governor. But in spite of its flaws, it cannot be denied that "Demons"--with its intricate demonstrations of the complexities of human relationships--is anything less than brilliant, and the new smooth translation by Richard Pevear and Larissa Volokhonsky is pure joy to read. www.brightsurf.com /shop/0679734511/detail   (1954 words)

Last check: 2007-11-01) Unfortunately, this new translation by the celebrated team of Robert Pevear and Larissa Volokhonsky is not. Flat, awkward, relentlessly unidiomatic, it may well be the least appealing version now on the market. Pevear and Volokhonsky often render Russian phrases literally, which leads to such clinkers as “to lie like a horse,” “such excellential benignity,” “literaturized,” “jack” (for van’ka, meaning “cabby”), “wantings” (for khoteniya, “desires” or “wants,” as in “Our wantings are for the most part mistaken according to a mistaken view of our profit”). www.americamagazine.org /BookReview.cfm?articleTypeID=31&textID=3728&issueID=494   (784 words)
