I've just checked my copy of Anna Karenina and it's by Pevear and Volokhonsky. Lfpbe on May 27, 2013 at 9:23 pm said: I'm not a fan of the Pevear/Volokhonsky translations of any of the Russian novels. The galling thing is that Tolstoy does this on purpose. I am going to be doing that now as well. Thoughts on parts 1, 2, 3, and 4 of Anna Karenin(a). And now know why so many people list it among their all-time favorites. ***** Anna Karenina by Leo Tolstoy Translated by Richard Pevear and Larissa Volokhonsky Penguin, 2000. I've also just realised that they've won a translation prize. I had no idea that it would take me all of May to write a progress report on this book, during which time I have not been reading Anna Karenin(a) at all.) And I lack the ability to multitask in my reading so it's been all Anna Karenin(a), all the time for me for the past month. In the introduction to the superb Pevear-Volokhonsky translation, we learn that, in starting to write “Anna Karenina,” he was trying to mimic an effect he noticed in Pushkin. And it has sat on my shelf ever since. I get a real flavor of the upper class Russian society. Although Leo Tolstoy is primarily known for writing the juggernaut masterpieces Anna Karenina and War and Peace, readers venturing into the less formidable remainder of his canon will find within them the same incisive narrative stories, this new volume of his late fiction is particularly remarkable for the collaboration of translators Richard Pevear and Larissa Volokhonsky, both of whom have rendered critically acclaimed translations of great Russian classics. Until today, when I pick it up and make that decision — I am finally going to read Anna Karenina. I recently finished the Richard Pevear and Larissa Volokhonsky translation of Anna Karenina. I love the elegance of their translation. For what it's worth, the Pevear/Volokhonsky translation of Anna Karenina is superb, so I do trust them as translators!
