Tolstoy wrote French for some of the passages for War and Peace. I finished reading War and Peace by Leo Tolstoy (translated by Richard Pevear and Larissa Volokhonsky) on February 16th and literally every day since then I have thought about how to write this review. Two years ago I read a fresh translation by the couple Richard Pevear and Larissa Volokhonsky of Leo Tolstoy's epic War and Peace. I read the Pevear/Volokhonsky translation, and I was absolutely blown away. I'd remembered reading an article in The New Yorker on Constance Garnett and “Translation Wars.” I remember that the article led me to purchase the Rosemary Edmonds' translation of War and Peace. When Pevear and Volokhonsky translated it, they kept the French with the English translation as a footnote. A battlefield that starts out crisply beautiful, a golden autumn scene, and gradually transforms into a muddy hell. We're using the Pevear-Volokhonsky translation, but feel free to take up any of the available translations. 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. The War and Peace Reading Support Group begins on Monday, but we will start reading the Tolstoy this weekend.
