War and Peace especially is a transformation and revelation. Crime and Punishment, translated by Richard Pevear & Larissa Volokhonsky (Everyman's Library). See, here's the thing they don't tell you when they tell you that War and Peace is this great book that nobody reads: War and Peace is a great book that is entirely readable. Translated by Richard Pevear & Larissa Volokhonsky (Farrar, Straus and Giroux). Anna Karenina by Leo Tolstoy, translated by R. I have read Crime and Punishment, The Brothers Karamazov, and The Idiot, each translated by Richard Pevear and Larissa Volokhonsky. As I've mentioned elsewhere, I opted to use the Richard Pevear/Larissa Volokhonsky translation of War and Peace for numerous reasons. Fortunately, conversations with a friend and some online sleuthing of pages 823 to 825 of the Pevear and Volokhonsky translation revealed to me the French army, battered, bleeding and hiding in Moscow. What's the first thing(s) you read in the morning? With an occasional break, it took me five months to finish the 800 pages of “Anna Karenina”, I probably should have expected not to enjoy “Anna Karenina” very much, because when I read “War and Peace”, I enjoyed the war and was often bored by the peace. All these editions of War and Peace are really starting to pile up on my shelves. Currently: War and Peace, the new Pevear/Volokhonsky translation. There is no war in “Anna Karenina”, except in Anna's and Levin's souls. And thus, she kindly answered our probing, exploitative questions. Over the past few weeks, there's been an ongoing discussion of the new Pevear and Volokhonsky translation of War and Peace in the NY Times Reading Room.
