There are going to be at least three giant adaptations this year alone with "Anna Karenina", "Les Miserables" and "The Great Gatsby". But there is no doubt that Pevear and Volokhonsky, winners of the 1991 PEN/ Book-of-the-Month Club Translation Prize for their version of Fyodor Dostoyevsky's The Brothers Karamazov, have produced the first new translation of Leo Tolstoy's classic Anna Karenina in 40 years. (There was additionally the competition with my wife, who read Anna Karenina while I read War and Peace. I read Anna Karenina ages and ages ago when I was having my moody Russian classics phase, but I was happy to join in because it's a great book. Some people say Anna Karenina is the single greatest novel ever written, which makes about as much sense to me as trying to determine the world's greatest color. Anna Karenina–the Pevear and Volokhonsky translation–was one of the seven or so novels (Dostoyevsky's The Brothers Karamazov included) that I read last semester for an Honors Russian Lit class. Previously, I had read the older Hayward and Harari translation. The Karenina translation recommended to me was the Pevear-Volokhonsky version. I especially love the Pevear and Volokhonsky translation of Anna Karenina, so I really looked forward to their translation of Doctor Zhivago.

The passage above is from the end of part 2 of Anna Karenina, by Leo Tolstoy, translated by Richard Pevear and Larissa Volokhonsky. I bought the Pevear-Volokhonsky translation of Anna Karenina, but I thought it would be impossible to read an 800-page novel, with the end of the semester approaching. It also made me recently read Anna Karenina, the other Tolstoy epic translated by Pevear and Volokhonsky.
