Review # 1 was written on 2012-07-25 00:00:00 Lorraine Worthley Richard Pevear's Translating Music is the first number of The Cahiers Series, a set of expensive chapbooks published by Sylph Editions. It's beautifully designed and pretentiously titled. Pevear provides a translation of Pushkin's "The Tale of the Preacher and His Man Bumpkin," which is entertaining. The Russian original appears verso. The second, more substantial part of the chapbook is "a talk" on translation Pevear gave at a conference in 2006 at Tolstoy's estate Yasnaya Polyana. For readers of his translation of War and Peace this is particularly interesting, although some of it is repeated in his introduction to that massive volume. I'm a fan of chapbooks and this is an enviable collection – but probably a bit too precious for me.
