"[Dostoevsky is] at once the most literary and compulsively readable of novelists we continue to regard as great . . .
The Brothers Karamazov stands as the culmination of his art--his last, longest, richest and most capacious book.
[This] scrupulous rendition can only be welcomed. It returns to us a work we thought we knew, subtly altered and so
made new again."--Donald Fanger, Washington Post Book World"It may well be that Dostoevsky's [world], with all its
resourceful energies of life and language, is only now--and through the medium of this translation--beginning to come
home to the English-speaking reader." --John Bayley, The New York Review of Books"Heartily recommended to any reader
who wishes to come as close to Dostoevsky's Russian as it is possible."--Joseph Frank, Princeton University"Far and
away the best translation of Dostoevsky into English that I have seen . . . faithful . . . extremely readable . .
. gripping."--Sidney Monas, University of Texas
