Most recent fun: a review of War and Peace, translated by Richard Pevear and Larissa Volokhonsky. War and Peace (Война и мир). The list would have been a little more helpful if they had included the publisher The Pevear and Volokhonsky translations of Tolstoy's works, they say, goes a long way in diminishing the intimidation factor of Leo Tolstoy. 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.

We'll see on that day where I stand with my resolution to read Leo Tolstoy's War and Peace in 2010.

(1713-68) had a marked influence on the young Tolstoy, particularly with his Sentimental Journey Through France and Italy(1768), which stands behind Tolstoy's first piece of fiction, 'A History of Yesterday' (1851), and part of which Tolstoy translated. I've since read the Pevear/Volokhonsky translations of Anna Karenina and War and Peace, and have their translation of The Brothers Karamazov sitting on my to-be-read shelf.
