I was looking for a version of War and Peace and about to settle for
the 1968 version by Ann Dunnigan when this new Anthony Briggs Penguin
version came by.  I haven't had the chance to browse through it.  Has
anyone done so, and how is it?  Is it better than all before?  Can one
give a short excerpt of the start, for instance?

Pevear and wife will have some competition.  Their version is scheduled
for 2007, and who would have expected someone to supercede them?  I am
not enamored of their Anna Karenina though - overpraised in my view,
and lacking in Tolstoy's famous robust, if slightly awkward style.
