War and Peace is virtual canon, and just as with the Iliad or the Bible, each generation is treated to multiple new interpretations of Tolstoy's masterpiece, originally written in Russian and French. The long awaited translation by the celebrated the husband and wife team Richard Pevear and Larissa Volokhonsky, who have been busily translating all the Russian Classics, was released this month. This has promted an interesting blog (really, a virtual book club) in the NY Times' Books section.
