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

I have used some of it lately to re-read Tolstoy's splendid WAR AND PEACE which I am convinced is the finest historical novel ever written. Pevear/Volokhonsky's War and Peace transformed the book, which I had read several times before in the Maude translation. What's the first thing(s) you read in the morning? Currently: War and Peace, the new Pevear/Volokhonsky translation.

It's a little strange to see War and Peace at 50 and no Anna Karenina or Crime and Punishment in sight given they're generally the more popular translated texts. Richard Pevear and Larissa Volokhonsky, who have also translated War and Peace and Anna Karenina, are behind this new version of Boris Pasternak's breathtakingly wonderful novel. It is also hard to avoid hyperbole in its praise.
