I would like to read the translation works of these two giant Russian novels by Tolstoi in German. I am wondering at what level should I approach reading them? Did anyone of you ever try reading them in the target languages you were trying to learn?
How was your overall experience dealing with them? Was it laborious? Did you feel comfortable? At what language level did you try reading them in your TL?

Thanks.


I read them many years ago in Spanish. One of my tasks is to read them again but in Italian. It will take a while though.

Besides their intrinsic value, I love reading very long novels... Give me 800+ pages and I am happy.

This Anna Karenina sample in English looks like something between B2 and C1. :D
