Hi
i decided to read Crime and punishment,
and everyone is saying that the p&v translation is the best, can anyone tell me which Publication

At the risk of being repetitive, you can go online and log on to any public library catalogue around the world.

My husband and I listened to a CD of some translation or other on our last trip. Quite a story! Made me wonder when current books will be considered classics, as this one is.

I have the PV translation published by Vintage Classics. Quite a good looking book I'd say.
