"Pevear and Volokhonsky are at once scrupulous translators and
vivid stylists of English."--"The New Yorker"
One week before her thirtieth birthday, the simple life of
dutiful wife and mother Natalya is upended when the arrival of her
son's charming new tutor unleashes a whirlwind of love, lust, and
jealousy. This revelatory new translation by renowned playwright
Richard Nelson along with Richard Pevear and Larissa
Volokhonsky--the foremost contemporary translators of classic
Russian literature, including the best-selling Oprah's Book Club
selection, "Anna Karenina"--marks the second of a series of
translations of important Russian plays to be published over the
next ten years.
Richard Nelson's many plays include "Rodney's Wife," "Goodnight
Children Everywhere," Drama Desk-nominated "Franny's Way" and "Some
Americans Abroad," Tony Award-nominated "Two Shakespearean Actors,"
and "James Joyce's The Dead" (with Shaun Davey), for which he won a
Tony Award for Best Book of a Musical. His "The Apple Family:
Scenes from Life in the Country" will be published by Theatre
Communications Group in early 2014.
Richard Pevear and Larissa Volokhonsky have produced acclaimed
translations of Leo Tolstoy, Fyodor Dostoevsky, Nikolai Gogol,
Anton Chekhov, and Mikhail Bulgakov. Their translations of "The
Brothers Karamazov" and "Anna Karenina" won the 1991 and 2002
PEN/Book-of-the-Month Club Translation Prizes. Pevear, a native of
Boston, and Volokhonsky, of St. Petersburg, are married to each
other and live in Paris.
