Started reading one translation and continuing in another? The Brothers Karamazov
I have the P&V translation on my kindle, but since I was highlighting so much I decided to buy a physical copy. However, the bookshops I went to didn't have a P&V translation (I don't live in an anglophone country) so I ended up buying the Katz translation. Big mistake.
I was 30% through my digital P&V version when I started the physical Katz version, and they seem SO different! I stupidly didn't realise there would be such a big difference.
For example:
P&V: It's not that I want to corrupt you and push you off your foundation; perhaps I want to be healed by you.
Katz: I don't want to corrupt you or tear you away from your foundation; perhaps I wanted to heal myself using you.
Being healed by someone is quite different to using someone for their healing, no? That's just one example anyways, overall Katz feels more modern.
So what should I do? My post is different from the resources because I'm not sure if I should stick to the P&V translation, continue with Katz 30% in or just restart reading on my physical copy 🫠
