Eugene Onegin (Penguin Classics) [Paperback]
It is gloriously fluent, idiomatic, and, miraculously, manages to convey the joyous, playful, seemingly effortless, Mozartian rhythm of the original while neither sacrificing precision of register nor contorting the English language to serve the needs of meter, prosody, or rhyme. James Falen was born to translate Eugene Onegin into English, and deserves the highest praise for this towering achievement.
If there is a blind spot in how we arranged the curriculum for English majors about 20 years ago, it was good that the English language canon had been opened, but bad in that it kept out anything that was only available in translation. It is worth reading, but to me it was more worthwhile as a historical and cultural touchstone than the enjoyment of the thing itself. One person found this helpful. Sparkling translation with a brief but illuminating introduction. I compared a few translations and decided to go with the one that sounded more like American English, and I was not disappointed, it flowed and danced with great charm and wit.
I don't read Russian so have no basis to really judge, but comparing it to the Nabokov translation, which is supposed to be very literal and doesn't rhyme , I got the sense that this one is as faithful to the original as one could hope.
