[edit] Translator

I don't see a reason for the information box to have an entry for Translator - as if there is only one. I happen to have a copy of the novel as translated by Richard Hare, not Rosemary Edmonds. I am deleting the line. If there is something important to say about various translations, add a section to the article. Fikus 19:19, 25 August 2007 (UTC)

A charcter list from Ivan Turgenev Fathers and Sons: Character list could be merged here and that article deleted. IrfanAli 18:43, 13 August 2006 (UTC)

I changed Katya's last name to Lotkeva, because since she was not wife to her sister's husband as well, she therefore cannot be called Odintsova. I ask for someone to correct, if necessary, the spelling of Lotkeva, because my version is is portuguese. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 201.79.233.85 (talk) 15:58, August 25, 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Influence on Dostoevsky?

In the "Context" section of this article is found the following claim:

This prominent theme of character duality and deep psychological insight would exert an influence on most of the great Russian novels to come, most obviously echoed in the novels of Tolstoy and Dostoevsky.

Is this really accurate? Although I can't speak much for Tolstoy (being less familiar with him and his works), I think it's fair to say that Dostoevsky's mature style had been fully developed by the time Turgenev's novel was published: Dostoevsky's Crime and Punishment -- which is perhaps the epitome of the Dostoevskian -- was published only four years later. I don't think this timeline really allows for much influence of the former on the latter. (More so, perhaps, if we also consider that Dostoevsky hated Turgenev, although this doesn't necessarily, on its own, mean that he couldn't be influenced by his style.) It might be more accurate to say that the two authors merely explored similar themes, or took similar approaches in their writing. --Todeswalzer|Talk 12:45, 20 March 2007 (UTC)
