Perhaps the best translation from original masterpice,

This review is from: Eugene Onegin (Penguin Classics) (Mass Market Paperback)
Russian is my native language. Having tried to introduce my English speaking children to Pushkin I browsed through number of available translations of Eugene Onegin. I found Stanley Mitchell's translation from the original is being the most accurate and readable. James E. Falen's version is perhaps the next to this one. Nabokov's translation is one of the weakest, in my opinion. It is very hard to convey the prosody and wit of Pushkin for the non-Russian speaker and this translater does a superb job.

By Krystal "ballet and biology nerd" (California, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Eugene Onegin (Penguin Classics) (Mass Market Paperback)
If you're a fan of Russian literature, Pushkin or poetry, this is a good choice. It just doesn't get any better than Pushkin and this is arguably his best book.
Huge kudos to the translator, who has some serious linguistic talent. This not only translates the story accurately, but the English version makes sense. |
