From the award-winning translators of Anna Karenina and The Brothers Karamazov comes this magnificent new translation of Tolstoy's masterwork. War and Peace broadly focuses on Napoleon’s invasion of Russia in 1812 and follows three of the most well-known characters in literature: Pierre Bezukhov, the illegitimate son of a count who is fighting for his inheritance and yearning for spiritual fulfillment; Prince Andrei Bolkonsky, who leaves his family behind to fight in the war against Napoleon; and Natasha Rostov, the beautiful young daughter of a nobleman who intrigues both men.A s Napoleon’s army invades, Tolstoy brilliantly follows characters from diverse backgrounds—peasants and nobility, civilians and soldiers—as they struggle with the problems unique to their era, their history, and their culture. And as the novel progresses, these characters transcend their specificity, becoming some of the most moving—and human—figures in world literature.

For the centenary of Chekhov's death, a new translation of his short novels - brought together in one volume for the first time. Chekhov, widely hailed as the supreme master of the short story, never wrote a full-length novel, but he wrote five works long enough to be called short novels. The Steppe - perhaps the most lyrical of the five - is an account of a young boy's frightening journey to enroll at a distant school. The Duel sets two decadent figures - a fanatical rationalist and a man of literary sensibility - on a collision course. In The Story of an Unknown Man, a political radical becomes valet to the son of an important official in order to spy on him, but finds that his own terminal illness has changed his long-held priorities in startling ways. Three Years recounts the irony-laden life of a rich but passive Moscow merchant. In My Life, a man renounces wealth and social position for a life of manual labour, only to discover that the moral simplicity of his ideals is in conflict with the complex realities of life. In these five short novels, Chekhov's masterful storytelling and his profound understanding of human nature are brilliantly evinced.
By Richard Pevear (trans) and Larissa Volokhonsky (trans)
