i agree most wholeheartedly
many critics think that Dostoyevsky went a little too heavy on Ivan's
Contra & not enough on Alyosha's
Pro, but I love it the way it is...Grushenka is probably my favorite female character in any of his works. Constance Garnett did the best translation for Modern Library for
The Brothers Karamazov.
buy the Norton Critical Edition of Crime & Punishment translated by Jesse Coulson if you see it at a bookstore or a used bookstore...it's my favorite novel
