Wow, I am overwhelmed by all of these recommendations. I will revisit this thread often, I think. So many interesting titles-- speaks to the quality of the members.
Currently, I am reading Dostoevsky's Crime and Punishment. I cannot praise Richard Pevear and Larissa Volokhonsky enough for their transformation of this title. This may be as close to the spirit of the title that the English language allows.
While attending university, I trudged through a very bland and, it seemed, cursory translation from the Russian language. I was interested in the story but the translation simply did not keep me involved as a reader. The current version that I am reading, however, has kept me up at night.
