What we lose in translation http://www.hindu.com/2008/07/30/stories/2008073055211100.htm

Stuart Jeffries

Dostoevsky's last, longest and possibly greatest novel has been known for nearly 130 years in English as The Brothers Karamazov. Sadly, this is wrong. It should be called The Karamazov Brothers. At least, so argues Ignat Avsey in his translator's note for the Oxford University Press edition of the book. http://www.hindu.com/2008/07/30/stories/2008073055211100.htm
