Does anyone know where I can find an english translation of Avvakums autobiography on the internet?

Answer 1

you can find some translated excerpts here

http://www.uoregon.edu/~sshoemak/325/texts/avvakum.htm

there is a full translation by Jane Harrison and Hope Mirrlees reprinted in Medieval Russian Epics, Chronicles, and Tales ed. Serge A. Zenkovsky

you can read it with a little dificulty by going to the Amazon reader here

http://www.amazon.com/gp/reader/0452010861

it runs 50 pages from page 399-440 you need to start by searching for "399" without the inverted commas tou can the advance for three pages and then you need to search for the next page "402" proceed three pages search for "405" and so on

there are a few errors in the scanning where the second part of hypenated words over two lines are missing but you can usually work out what the missing part is without too much difficulty
