This translation feels a little dated and more British than Russian in tone. The story could have been better as a short story like "The General's Daughter" or "The Queen of Spades" and yet it is still incomplete, since the follow-up novels were never completed to the author's satisfaction. I would not recommend starting with this novel as an introduction to Russian literature.
