War and Peace (Pevear/Volokhonsky Translation) Leo Tolstoy
Publisher: Knopf Doubleday Publishing Group

So, upon learning from a newspaper article that the publication of a Pevear and Volokhonsky translation of Tolstoy's War and Peace is imminent, it struck me that now would be a good moment for me to tackle that classic tome. It was translated by Max Hayward and Manya Harari, and lest I sound like I'm spitting in the eye of Richard Pevear and Larissa Volokhonsky, I loved it. Cunningham's introduction was written before all of thehullabaloo over the Pevear and Volokhonsky translations of War and Peace. I think it was published in a book of several short Tolstoy novels. I am no expert on the subject of course, but would like to perhaps read War and Peace again at christmas time. Has anyone read the My favorite War & Peace translation is the one by Pevear & Volokhonsky. War and Peace (Война и мир). Yes, I've been looking for Hadji Murad too, the version translated by Pevear and Volokhonsky. It's available as a three-volume set, and will set you back US$40.00. Randomhouse has the forthcoming Richard Pevear and Larissa Volokhonsky translation of War and Peace slated for November 2007. Tin Drum by Günter Grass, translated from the German by Breon Mitchell (here); and James Woods' review of War and Peace by Leo Tolstoy, translated from the Russian by Richard Pevear and Larissa Volokhonsky (here).
