Oh nononono, Garnett is the worst when it comes to Russian lit. As my my lingustics prof once said “generations of english people thought they read Tolstoy when they actually read Garnett”
Well then! @touchablyalive (blast, it won’t tag you for me), if you’re curious, here’s an alternate opinion, and a much more expert since since as I said I do not have the knowledge of Russian to do a translation compare! This was just the version a friend gave me for Christmas.
Either way, I really doubt I would find myself liking Anna and Vronsky, so I won’t go searching out other translators, but if you would like to, I guess Garnett is not the one!
