Reviews"[Dostoevsky is] at once the most literary and compulsively readable of novelists we continue to regard as great . . .The Brothers Karamazovstands as the culmination of his arthis last, longest, richest, and most capacious book. [This] scrupulous rendition can only be welcomed. It returns us to a work we thought we knew, subtly altered and so made new again." Washington Post Book World "A miracle . . . Every page of the new Karamazov is a permanent standard, and an inspiration." The Times(London) "One finally gets the musical whole of Dostoevsky's original." New York Times Book Review "Absolutely faithful . . . Fulfills in remarkable measure most of the criteria for an ideal translation . . . The stylistic accuracy and versatility of registers used . . . bring out the richness and depth of the original in a way similar to a faithful and sensitive restoration of a painting." The Independent "It may well be that Dostoevsky's [world], with all its resourceful energies of life and language, is only nowand through the medium of [this] new translationbeginning to come home to the English-speaking reader." 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 With an Introduction by Malcolm V. Jones From the Hardcover edition.
