I've read through the whole text of "The Idiot" as found on PG as #2638. This claims to be a translation by Eva Martin . While reading, I noted various errors. Some were clear ocr errors, with an and some I have things I'd like to look up in the original. Comparing the text, it seems _very_ close to the 1887 Whishaw translation, found on Google books. http://books.google.ca/books?id=tCgVAAAAYAAJ I suppose it is possible that she took the earlier translation and just changed a few things. I cannot find the Eva Martin translation on Google Books or at a library in my city.. It should be from 1914 or 1915. Would someone be able to find it and do a quick spot check to see if it matches the text on PG? --Andrew
