Tolstoy, War & Peace (Richard Pevear & Larissa Volokhonsky's translation, Alfred A. As one who gave up reading War and Peace twice but breezed through it the third time because it was the Pevear/Volokhonsky translation, I am delighted to hear that Turgenev is next in line! 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. And if you're thinking this series is really, really long, remember that War and Peace, in the Pevear./Volokhonsky translation, comes in at 1,273 pages. You can read Figes's review for yourselves.

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. Talk about getting your money's worth. I hope to find the time to read the recent translation by Richard Pevear and Larissa Volokhonsky. When I first saw Bondarchuk's "War and Peace," in 1968, in New York, it was presented in two parts and ran six hours.
