There are many different translations of War and Peace and I would like to know which one is the best to read. I have read the book once already and don't know if I should reread the same translation, pick up the newest one, or get an older one. I don't speak Russian and would like the English version.

Seems there's a consensus for the Maude translation of War and Peace in three volumes.

Others suggest the Norton Critical Edition
