Summary: Two translations are better than one.
Comment: Pushkin Threefold is so named because each of the poems featured is presented three times: in metric translation, literal translation, and in Russian. It's a wonderful work because, barring actual fluency in Russian, comparing multiple translations is the closest English-speakers can get to the meaning of the original poems. It loses a star only because some of the poems have been better translated elsewhere. However, it maintains four stars because I've never found any single book which contained _all_ the best translations.
