I really want to read 'A Hero of our Time' by Lermontov, but I want to buy a good translation of it, as bad translations just ruin books for me and I'm quite picky. I want one that's very close to the original Russian, but also that flows well and has flare in English.
I have heard mixed reviews of Marian Schwartz's and Nabokovs, though these seem to be the most famous translations. Any ideas appreciated!
