War and Peace Translations?
There's several out there and it's very difficult discerning from reviews which is preferred. I would love to hear some thoughts on the the different translations and maybe even some comparisons. Right now I'm looking at translations by Peavear, Garnette, Briggs, Maude, and Unknown Signet Version. Right now I'm leaning towards the Peavear or Garnette just based on reviews.

I am currently reading the Garnett translation, which I find very good, after trying the newer Pevear unreadable due to a huge abundance of French. I have also been told that the Maude is good, but could not find a Maude in the B&N I went to.

The Maude version is available published by Norton Critical editions. You can also find it on eBay for very little as the Inner Sanctum edition which has a chapter summary and character list. I found the Inner Sanctum to be better than the Norton because it does include these things which makes the book easier to read in the beginning.
