Hope to start on this formidable project once I finish The Master and Margarita. It took me a decade to read the entire book because I was always inspired while reading to stop and write my own fiction. The Louise Maude translation of "War & Peace" is indeed the greatest experience reading I have ever had. For that reason, if I encounter a copy of a book translated from Russian into English by Mrs. Louise Maude, on the other hand, is a wonderful translator. She was sloppy and lazy and worked too quickly.
Do they try to maintain the richness of the Russian language or do they accept a poorer translation, standardizing several Russian verbs with nuances into standard English ones.Ĭonstance Garnett, for example, is a terrible translator. Russian, on the other hand, is a verb-rich language. That's why we have constructions with helper verbs including "get". I will explain why Russian does not easily translate into English. I DO speak Russian, lived in Russia for a year and published a novel "The Butcher of Leningrad" that is set in Russia.
