About the Author:
Leo Tolstoy (1828-1910) is best-known for his masterpieces War and Peace and Anna Karenina. Louise Maude and Aylmer Maude were English translator of Tolstoy's work, of whom Tolstoy said "Better translators . . . could not be invented."
From AudioFile:
Tolstoy's great novel portrays a tragic love affair against a backdrop of nineteenth-century Russian high society and country life. Kate Lock's treatment shows impressive range and facility, at times achieving remarkable power and poignancy. She skillfully provides a wide variety of voices--often indicating men just by changing intonation and pitch--and manages to convey Anna's loveliness by voice alone, giving her a kind of bell-like throatiness. Unfortunately, some of her male voices--indicated by roughening or straining her voice--are unconvincing. But any flaws are swallowed up by the magnitude of the work--Tolstoy's and hers--and by her predominant talent and deft touch. W.M. © AudioFile 2010, Portland, Maine
