Translation is such a complex issue, and like you I often wish I could just read Russian.<br /><br />War and Peace really is an incredible book though, and I can never recommend it highly enough. Thank you so much for the link to my blog too!<br /><br />I think the world is a better place with books by Tolstoy in it ;)<br /><br />Great blog!<br />LucyLucyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13801616247540592396noreply@blogger.com
