Re: Leo Tolstoy: War And Peace
The Maudes' is really good. I think Tolstoy himself approved of it.
I'll be getting the P&V at some point, too, but not until it comes out in an Everyman's Library edition (on the Everyman website's sidebar they say it will come out in EL eventually).
And yes, it is that good. It seems to be fashionable nowadays to say that Anna Karenina is better, but I'm not sure about that at all. Both are of course masterworks.
