I don't know if that's maybe my translation, (I'm reading a different translator--Pevear & Volokhonsky) or just a case of the book being longer and more ambitious. After reading their 2007 translation of War and Peace, Orlando Figes, the eminent Russian historian, did not mince words about Richard Pevear and Larissa Volokhonsky. Talk about getting your money's worth. But, when it comes to Tolstoi I really, really like the translations by Richard Pevear and Larissa Volokhonsky (they did the War & Peace I'm working on). The Stieg Larsson books, the Pevear and Volokhonsky translation of “War and Peace,” and Laurie Sheck's “A Monster's Notes,” to name just a few (many more from his portfolio are delightfully catalogued on his Web site). War and Peace especially is a transformation and revelation. I have read Crime and Punishment, The Brothers Karamazov, and The Idiot, each translated by Richard Pevear and Larissa Volokhonsky. War and Peace (Война и мир). 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. War and Peace in helmet Here is the traditional Frisbee summer picture of a book in a bicycle helmet. This enormous, 4-pound, 1,273-page Vintage Classics edition of War and Peace tipped the helmet.
