Any suggestions on version of "War and Peace"?


Recommended Posts

My ds has begun reading "War and Peace" on line, but I would prefer to find a hard copy for him. Does anyone have a recommended translation?

Feel free to e-mail me off line at kashbenj@hotmail.com

Thanks,

Heather,

 

I've enjoyed translations by Constance Garner. I hope I remembered that correctly. She's a well-known translator of Russian literature.

Oh! By all means check out the new translation by Pevear and Volokhonsky (sp?). A husband and wife team, they have translated many of the great Russian novels in the past 20 years or so. Their new translation of W & P just came out last November, I believe. I love their translation of Crime & Punishment!
