Anna Karenina LE

I got an email from FS regarding an upcoming Anna Karenina LE due January 2026.

https://www.foliosociety.com/uk/anna-karenina-limited-edition-hub

I guess I know what I'm asking for as a combined birthday (12 Jan.) and Valentine's Day gift from my wife!

New, exclusive translation. Interesting!

It's going to be translated by Nicholas Pasternack and Maya Slater who also did the FS Doctor Zhivago. I got this from the following site. There are also a couple of pictures of the LE including the slipcase.

https://readingintranslation.com/2025/07/21/nicolas-pasternak-slater-and-maya-sl...

Oh no, oh no no no... 'tis quarter leather-bound w. marbled paper sides by Jemma Lewis.

But the Pasternak & Slater transl. gives me hope that we'll see a beautiful standard as the Zhivago became. Possibly even two volumes!

Do people actually like this book? I found it a boring read.

>6 rogerthat2:

I have read it three times in my life to date I found it absolutely great.
I'm happy with my two volume 1944 DoubleDay Doran Limited Edition though -- Constance Garnett translation, illustorations by Fritz Eichenberg (who also signed these). So will pass only due to that.

>6 rogerthat2: With the possible exception of the train I found the characters to be unlikable, uninteresting, or both. I greatly preferred "War and Peace." I also preferred "Madame Bovary," which had a similar storyline to Anna Karenina.

>6 rogerthat2: No we don't actually like it, we've all just been pretending that it's good for ~150 years. It's been a huge coordinated effort to fool the masses, but so far so good and totally worth it. We pass down the duty from father to son, mother to daughter. My father before me also pretended that it's a masterpiece and I carry on the tradition. Please don't spread the word how horrible this book actually is - we don't want word to get out - it must stay on the top XX books ever written lists for time immemorial, for "reasons", even if some of us know the real truth.

This was one of the first books I fell in love with as a teen. Won’t buy an LE, but intrigued by the new translation and would definitely buy a standard edition.

It's no Hunger Games, but it is certainly one of my desert island books.

>6 rogerthat2: it’s no Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet

I admit I've never read it, but I have seven different editions in English, and six in French. They purty.

>13 Cardboard_killer: Uhh, I'm not sure if you're aware but you're not legally allowed to own 13 copies of a book that you've never read. A even dozen is the absolute limit. If we're able to find you, we will absolutely prosecute you to the fullest extent of your local Bibliographical Laws.

>9 rubix_cubin: Funny! I read the book because it's a classic, but beyond that I like to form my opinions.

Do we really need another Anna Karenina?

>9 rubix_cubin: I'm not surprised. I noticed the same thing with The Beatles. So many people pretending to enjoy their songs.

>9 rubix_cubin: haha! So... uh, I'm not sure if your sarcasm is saying "yes, it's a great book" or "no, it's not really good" :)

>18 astropi: Ha, I almost prefer the ambiguity! It's a stone-cold classic deserving of all it's praises and more.

>19 rubix_cubin: Still sometimes a bit hard to tell on the net what someone truly means -- I figured you were aiming for great book, but hey, I've made that mistake before with someone and took me a moment with a few awkward exchanges to figure out the poster really did not like the book :)

Don’t want to own it, but it is attractive enough.

Jemma Lewis' marbled paper for the Anna Karenina order, if I am not much mistaken:

https://www.instagram.com/p/DM0WPs3oUN-/?img_index=3

The marbling looks great. Let’s hope the artwork inside is equally pleasing. I’m not sure, however, whether its advisable to purchase a LE of a translation I’ve not read before

>23 foliolibrary: Given that it is a new translation, nobody has read it before. You could try one of their other translations to see if you appreciate their approach.

FWIW, a review of Nicolas Pasternak Slater's translation of Doctor Zhivago in the Los Angeles Review of Books by Christine Jacobson, a librarian at Harvard University with a background in Russian Studies, was very positive toward the translation, basically calling it the best of the three translations of the novel into English. My instinct is that the translation of Anna Karenina will also be excellent.

I must confess to have rather gone off Russian literature of late. I don't see the need for yet another edition of this. It strikes me to be an ill-timed and unimaginative choice.

The Limited Editions Club edition of Anna Karenina is reviewed at https://www.librarything.com/topic/375199#n8994646

When on earth is FS going to release more information about this LE? I've seen far more details, including numerous pictures, for American Psycho, which was just announced days ago, than for Anna Karenina, which was announced months ago. Moreover, FS is publishing it next month. You'd think that the company would want to build some buzz and anticipation ahead of its release!

We now have a date for the expected LE: 20th January, 4pm as per usual.

From the latest Folio blog post, 'How to Translate a Classic':

https://www.foliosociety.com/row/blog/how-to-translate-a-classic-anna-karenina

>28 CJDelDotto: It's so strange that we don't know who the illustrator is yet.

>31 Shotcaller: Do we even know with certainty that there will be illustrations in this edition?

>32 CJDelDotto: We do, because it is stated to be "signed by the translators and the artist."

>33 FitzJames: Ah. I suspect that the illustrations will be by Leonid Pasternak, who did the illustrations for the Doctor Zhivago LE a few years ago.

>34 CJDelDotto: What'd they do, resurrect him?

Oh! I didn't realize that he was dead! Based on the overall design concept and the fact that the translators are the same, I just assumed that FS wanted to create an edition that basically paralleled the DZ LE.

>36 CJDelDotto: You might be right! I could see that approach making sense.

>37 Shotcaller: Given that they have already said it will be signed by the illustrator it seems unlikely 80 years after his death - unless FS have some high-level occult contacts - in which case i’m sure we can look forward to to many more signed-bookplate editions from the long-departed !

>38 antinous_in_london: Ha! I'd forgotten the signature.

Let's hope they've gotten someone great.

Per Folio's email:

"All of the 500 copies are quarter-bound in leather with sides hand-marbled by Jemma Lewis. Each book is completely unique and signed by translators Nicolas and Maya Slater, and illustrator Sally Dunne. Finished with a scarlet slipcase stamped with four intertwined wedding rings, this Limited Edition is as bold as Anna herself."

Sally Dunne will be familiar from her Georgette Heyers, and I once thought the treatment Folio gave to the Heyers at Dunne's hand was precisely what I had hoped Folio's Austens would receive.

https://www.instagram.com/sallyillustrates/

It's beautifully done - Folio at their best. But as I already have a very nice Folio standard edition, I won't be tempted on this occasion.

Yawn.

FS really don't have any imagination nowadays when it comes to classics.

Here's Sally Dunne (the illustrator)'s web page.

https://www.sallyillustrates.com/about

If you liked the Georgette Heyer illustrations, you're in luck. Competent but dull, I would say; I've seen a lot worse.

I think the marbling looks great, but the spine is uninspired

>44 DMulvee:

The whole design is in series with the Doctor Zhivago LE (2019), which was beautifully produced but too large and heavy to read, unless placed on a stand or table. If they're using the same materials, Anna Karenina will also weigh a ton.

>41 folio_books: Same sentiment about the standard edition. I finally pulled it off the shelf and finished reading it last October. I also have the Doctor Zhivago LE, a beautiful (and very large) publication.

>44 DMulvee: I totally agree. It almost puts me off purchasing it, especially at the price they’re asking, but I will probably succumb.

>47 UK_History_Fan:

I'm being dim, but I can't see the price anywhere.

>48 affle: and of course now I can’t find where I saw it but I recall it being $700 before shipping and taxes

>48 affle: I'm assuming once the sale is complete Folio will finally turn the spotlight over to the Tolstoy.

>49 UK_History_Fan:

That would probably be consistent with a UK price of £495, which would hardly be a surprise as DrZ was £395 six years ago.

>44 DMulvee: Also, if it's anything in the range of 700 USD, a basic slipcase just like any regular SE is a complete showstopper.

A proper clamshell should be a given at that price point, in line with most of the LEs released last year - IT, Iliad/Odyssey, Last Unicorn, Christmas Carol.

I didn't get the previous SE of Anna Karenina due to the dated (IMO) translation, but I am interested in this one if/when it comes out in an SE.

Less than ten days until release and still no illustrations?

>54 foliolibrary: Twelve illustrations have been confirmed by Folio, but hopefully some make it into the wild once the sale is finished.

Production details now up, but the page is still in progress:

£395 | £455 ROW | $560 USD | $790 CAD

>56 FitzJames: Oh! What's the URL to that page? I presume 455gbp is the ROW price?

Edit: found it at https://www.foliosociety.com/row/anna-karenina-limited-edition just ~/anna-karenina takes you to an older edition.

>57 zorg2099: Indeed, just removed 'hub' from the URL.

>56 FitzJames: They have really kept the illustrations under raps so far which is unusual.

>59 assemblyman: Under wraps indeed! It is less than a week now to release.

>56 FitzJames: Not as bad a price as I was expecting. Somewhat tempting!

>59 assemblyman: A bit odd, especially given that Sally Dunne is such a known quantity at Folio that it's hard to believe anyone will be shocked one way or the other. But I imagine we'll get some samples shortly.

560 USD? (phew!) I saw someone online somewhere speculating that it would be 700 USD.

>63 CJDelDotto: As a ROWer that's pretty much what I would be looking at with shipping :(

>61 HonorWulf: I think the price of 560 USD is more in line with what is 'reasonable' for the overall production quality.

I was previously wondering how a regular SE style slipcase would ever be justified at the >700 USD price point. But at 560 USD, it's somewhat more 'acceptable'. Still not cheap of course (as is the case with all other modern Folio LEs).

Pictures including artwork are now up at the above links >56 FitzJames:

After much uhmming and aahing I think I've decided to wait for a standard edition, tempting though the LE is. Going to focus on some second hand acquisitions I've had my eye on in the meantime. Hope everyone who goes for this enjoys it!

>67 FitzJames: Thanks for putting them up. They look quite nice on first review. Not enough to tempt me to buy the LE but I would be interested in an SE down the line.

Artwork has personally never been the deciding factor for me to purchase a Folio LE. I suppose I have very wide appreciation for various art styles.

Far more important to me is the book itself first and foremost. Is it a title I enjoy?

Next is the overall physical construction for the price - trim size, boards materials, slipcase/clamshell, paper type/tone - and finally the typography/layout.

Still on the fence about this one, but certainly not because of the artwork - safe to say it's not a deterrent in any way.

Given that they have paid for a new exclusive translation i can’t imagine they wouldn’t produce an SE at some point to recoup the costs. There aren't that many bells & whistles on this LE so theres not a huge amount they can strip back for an SE apart from losing the leather, hand-marbling & gilding. There isn't even a clamshell they can strip away since it’s already in a pretty basic slipcase.

>69 assemblyman: Yes! If this came out later as a SE two-volumer, I would adore it (provided it isn't printed at C&C Offset like Doctor Zhivago).

>72 FitzJames: What's the issue with that supplier? Do they have quality issues or something?

Folio no longer prints in China, so no worries there.

Very tempting!

>72 FitzJames: I have the two volume Doctor Zhivago SE and am quite happy with the quality despite it being made in China.

>76 assemblyman: I know, in part it was a quibble which allowed me to tell myself I did not need the set, and in part a wish that it had emanated from one of the European binders instead. It is foolish not being able to shake the notion that it is of lesser quality.

His Dark Materials is another I hoped will sell through and be sent likewise.

>77 FitzJames: I think it's safe to say the C&C quality is solid. Just as good as any of the European printers/binders.

The Yu Long Pure paper (I suppose the C&C version of Abbey Wove?) is notably very opaque, judging from my copy of Folio's Farseer Trilogy box set. Binding and cloth boards are nice, and the slipcase is very sturdy too.

The Limited editions Club published a two volume edition of Anna Karenina in 1951.
1500 copies printed.
Now available at very reasonable prices on the secondary market.
Reviewed on LT at https://www.librarything.com/topic/375199

>79 wcarter: Thanks as always for the detailed reviews.

At this point, I think the strongest motivation for the Folio LE is the newly commissioned translation.

For the artwork, I don't think the upcoming Folio LE can compete at all with the 1951 LEC edition. Besides the excellent art of the LEC edition, the number of pieces alone eclipse the Folio LE.

>78 Ibkay: Thank you! It is cavilling, I knew.

And finally, Folio has begun the advertising for Anna Karenina, four days from release.

There's a wonderful production video of this novel on their Facebook page. The book looks beautiful and very well constructed.

Love the illustrations but I cannot stand the binding on this one.

Anna Karenina is now live:

https://www.foliosociety.com/uk/anna-karenina-limited-edition

Ordered!

Grabbed it and also ordered Love Poems and Gitanjali

Ordered. It took a couple minutes after the top of the hour before I could add to my cart.

Im still having trouble justifying to myself the LE status for a bit of leather, some gold page-edges & hand-marbled paper boards (i thought people hated paper-covered boards - or are they ok when they're hand-marbled?). Having paid for an exclusive translation i have no doubt that an SE will follow quite quickly to recoup the translation cost & if it follows the LE to SE path of Zhivago, Shakespeare, Zafon etc the SE will probably hit my sweet spot.

>88 antinous_in_london: "i thought people hated paper-covered boards - or are they ok when they're hand-marbled?"

Hand made marbled or paste-paper boards have long been features of fine bindings and I for one definitely value them. Printed paper bindings are seen as less premium since they don't add much value material OR craft wise while paste-paper and marbled paper does in terms of craftsmanship in my view.

I am also passing on this LE though, I might have been more tempted if I lived in the UK but the price for ROW + shipping is a bit too high and I'm prioritising some other second hand stuff. Im also hoping for an SE, a good chance given they paid for an exclusive translation.

>89 zorg2099: If the SE follows the path of Zhivago & splits the 816 page LE house-brick into a couple of separate slip-cased volumes then that would be an additional selling point for me

>90 antinous_in_london: That would be quite appealing yes, I actually have the Zhivago SE on the way to me right now together with some other goodies :)

One hour in, 240 copies are sold, and 260 remain. Not too shabby.

>91 zorg2099: I really like the SE Zhivago & the split into 2 volumes makes it a more comfortable read.

>91 zorg2099: I Just looked again at the Zhivago LE from the same translators & it is almost identical in specification & design (leather, hand marbled papers, gold page edges, exactly the same spine design, slipcase the same just with a different printed motif), which makes me feel even more that they will at some point follow what they did with Zhivago & produce a 2 volume SE to sit in series with the Zhivago SE.

I’m also going to wait for the SE.

In terms of paper boards I think it’s paper spines that get people questioning things more given that’s where most of the stress on the book is while reading.

>88 antinous_in_london: I am also not sold on paper covered boards for premium books, regardless of hand marbling or machine printing.

Cloth will always feel more premium. Better still, high quality leather. But I'm always good with cloth as a baseline.

I love Anna Karenina and have read it multiple times and would love an exclusive translation - but for me waiting for a likely LE is the better choice. Nice to see the enthusiasm of those who ordered though!

Now two and a half hours in, 319 copies have sold, and 181 are left in stock.

After four hours, 351 sold, 149 left.

Picking up the mantle, six hours in and 122 remaining.

I am delighted by what I have seen of this translation, but the sheer size of the tome, lovely though it is, will not make for comfortable reading for me.

So, I too am hoping (praying) for a two volume SE. And then I'll break my embargo on buying all but facsimiles and get it like a shot!

In the photo of the translators holding the book, it seems like there is a huge gap between the paper and the spine and the mans hand is literally pressing the spine in by holding it. Is this really premium construction?

>102 ryanar:
That is completely normal in a quality made case bound book.

>103 wcarter:

I've just come back to the folio society after a couple of years away. You're Australian right? How are you feeling about the prices (shipping as well) vs quality now? I just looked at your complete catalogue (which is wonderful by the way) and saw the Faerie Queene at £585. Now I understand there is inflation but that was a three volume leather edition with a crushed silk covered wooden box with a draw platform. I don't see a huge difference between this volume and my Lives of the Later Caesars or the History of Western Philosophy (leather printing). Am I expecting too much?

>104 Jobasha:
The ROW pricing is about 15% higher than prices in the UK. This allows for a generalised approach to GST/VAT charges in different countries (10% in Australia, 15% in New Zealand, higher in some other countries, zero also in some) so that the FS can deal with these charges without recipients having to pay the extra charges on receipt. This is a swings and roundabouts situation, in some countries purchasers pay more than they should, others less.
Generally, FS prices have increased at a rate slightly above inflation over the last decade, but I suspect quality book making inflation is higher than general inflation.
If you are unhappy, you can buy at UK prices via a book forwarding service.

>103 wcarter:

ok thanks!

>105 wcarter:

Thanks! So the increase is only an extra 5% over GST which could be worse! What happened to shipping? I recall ~AUD$36 for 2 or more books and ~AUD$18 for a single book, now shipping is ~£30 for a single book!?

Are you using book forwarding services? Are they any cheaper or is freight just that expensive now?

Down to 85 - definitely moving faster than I thought it would.

Surprising. Maybe it's the new translation.

>107 Jobasha:
I have used a forwarding service but the saving is small and the hassle sometimes large.

>105 wcarter: Are there forwarding services specific to books? Any in particular you would suggest? I've used a more general purpose forwarding service (MyUS with US and UK addresses) but the fees for their "shop on your behalf" service would erase any potential savings if buying from Folio so I've always bought direct.

And 12 hours in, 422 have sold, and only 78 remain.

>111 zorg2099:
I have used Forward2me a couple of times, but now cannot be bothered with the hassle of buying FS books through them to save a relatively small amount. Only useful for UK sellers who will not ship internationally.

Down to 50.

41

I think I preferred the illustrations of the previous edition. So I'll stick with that.

At the 24 hour mark, just 28 copies remaining. Folio seems to have priced this one just right -- giving everyone who wanted one a fair chance to get one.

Only 9 remaining!

3 ...

make that 1 ...

Does anyone know how long it took the Dr. Zhivago SE to come out after the LE?

The quick sell out bodes well that there will be an SE down the line. It will be interesting to see how American Psycho will fare in a couple of weeks with a £450 price tag and a higher limitation of 750.

>121 Nacho_Business: Doctor Zhivago LE was released in 2019 and the SE was 2020.

Decided to get it never read it before but was interested in doing so since its a new translation. Bought when 28 was left so had to make the decision quick.

>123 assemblyman: Yes, almost exactly a year -- the LE was early November 2019 and the SE was mid-October 2020.

EDIT: Interesting to note that it took over seven months to sell out of the Zhivago LE.

>124 Carl64: It's an excellent book, though I don't know about the translation and the price point was high for me. This may be the new normal - FS puts out an LE first for the "gotta have it" crowd and then moves to an SE, rather than olden days when they stuck mostly to SE's. Now I can wait on the SE, and read the reviews here of the new translation.

>126 coynedj: cool since unfamiliar with other translations will be interesting to see how it compares from others. I am a sucker for high end literature books. 😁

I hope that Nicolas Pasternak Slater and Maya Slater can translate another big Russian classic for FS. Given their age, that might be asking too much of them, but I'd love see a beautiful LE of The Brothers Karamazov that matches their editions of Dr. Z and Anna K (I'm thinking purple to go with the blue and the red...).

>128 CJDelDotto: Not sure about the licensing rights, but Slater has also translated Crime and Punishment, The Death of Ivan Ilyich, A Hero of Our Time and many others that would also make great Folio's.

On a not unrelated note, I hope that the wonderful commercial success of this book underscores to Joanna and the rest of the company that there's a real hunger for the canon. There are so many major works of canonical literature that FS has either done only once (e.g., Goethe's Faust) or never done at all (e.g., plays by Moliere, Ibsen, Strindberg, Chekhov, and Shaw, Wordsworth and Coleridge's Lyrical Ballads, Baudelaire's Fleur du mal, and Stevens' Harmonium). The opportunities are self-evident.

Received the book today and love the overall production. The illustrations add a lot of atmosphere and fit perfectly.

agreed, no complaints -- well, maybe would have preferred two volumes but it's still well done as one.

I received my copy as well. I think the book is extraordinary. It not only meets but also exceeds my expectations.

Received mine as well. Of course I’m biased because I was intent on buying this - but it exceeded my expectations. The binding and the marbling are beautiful. It’s larger than I expected but I feel blessed to have the privilege of reading a copy like this.

The book is stunning! It's the first LE that's truly impressed me in a while. The last ones I remember buying are Gatsby, Perdido, and Austen and this easily surpasses them all. It's delightfully large in hand, which is perfect for showing off the illustrations, and I read my Folios on a table anyways to prevent damaging the covers with my hands, so I love everything about this.

I'm also the shallow sort who doesn't appreciate marbling unless the shiny paints are involved, and boy are these paints shiny.

Edition no.386 has arrived in San Dimas, Calif. Copy what others have stated well enough already. Beautiful and big and bold. Folio Society at its best. The Austen and Homer LE sets left something to be desired, especially in the case of the latter. Anna Karenina LE rights the good ship HMS FS!

I’m a little surprised that this edition beat so many peoples expectations. Perhaps since I bought the earlier Doctor Zhivago LE, which is almost the identical design, I wasn’t surprised at all. Exactly what I was expecting and at price point that wasn’t that bad. I’m looking forward to reading this translation as I enjoyed their Doctor Zhivago. Beating expectations would be the Liber Bestiarum or Letterpress Shakespeare.

Mine was delivered to my office, but I haven't seen it yet. I'll looking forward to adding it to Zhivago.

What was the time before this sold out? This definitely moved more quickly than Dr. Zhivago did.

>138 hamletscamaro: Anna sold out in 26 hours. Zhivago was around 7 months.

>138 hamletscamaro: Congrats! Do let us know what you think of the translation when you get around to reading it.

It sold out in over a day I believe. But less than a day and a half I think? (ninja'd by a more precise answer from Honorwulf as might be expected hah)

My copy came Thursday so was only two days ship time to the states copy 433 very well done and love the marbled cover and illustrations I would say its one of their best limited editions.

Just out of curiosity checked eBay came across around 5 copies selling for around 800 plus shipping from the United Kingdom.

@HonorWulf, thanks. I missed that in this thread if mentioned before. I expected it might take longer to sell out, so I am glad I pulled the trigger on this early.

@zorg2099, since I had my copy shipped to the office, due to the bad weather here in the states and planned travel, I may not even see my copy for another two weeks. I look forward to seeing it eventually.

so am i the only one to constantly be cursed with bookmark ribbons leaving conspicuous bite marks on the pages?



this already happened to me with the Jane Austen LE...

>144 Korius: It's not uncommon and has come up here before. I don't mind it myself but people's mileage varies as they seem to say these days.

>145 Cat_of_Ulthar: FS should at least have the decency to place the ribbon on a page that isn't illustrated

>146 Korius: Be fair. FS should require their printers and binders not to place the ribbon on a page that isn't illustrated.

And, to be honest, this particular 'illustration' looks more like a blur to me. How much did you have to zoom in on that to see it?
At least x10, judging from the width of the ribbon.

>147 Cat_of_Ulthar: it's actually very visible to the naked eye; i only took a close-up to try to show it off more clearly

>148 Korius: Okay.

But the placement of the ribbon is still a random factor.

Let's say that all ribbons should be placed inside the front cover?

>144 Korius: Most (if not all) of my Easton Press or Library of America books have indentations from the ribbons. I always notice it, but I just thought it was normal. But, I've only bought them second hand, so I don't know if this is common with new Eastons.

Would anyone else be happy enough without ribbons? I don't need them.

>151 Shotcaller: I hate ribbon bookmarks with a vengeance, a prejudice I have had since childhood. But I do not buy Folio Society limited editions anyway. Never have, never will.

I put up with the Library of America ribbon bookmarks because the book designer made them a standard feature of the series and they are less annoying than the Folio Society variety.

>151 Shotcaller: i really do think they're unnecessary. any reader zealous enough to drop money on a FS edition, esp an LE, is guaranteed to already own plenty of bookmarks

I actually like ribbon page markers and the minimal impression they leave on the page does not worry me at all.

I own lots of bookmarks but I'm also quite good at mislaying them so I do like the ribbons :-)

I always use ribbon markers when available and haven’t even noticed that they leave an impression. Maybe it has something to do with the kind of paper.

>156 jroger1: I don't have any issues with the ribbon markers either. However, the one on the Anna Karenina LE does indeed leave a rather noticeable impression. I too think it has to do with the paper.

I am not a paper expert, but the one used for the Anna Karenina LE does seem quite thin, which I suppose could not be avoided given the 800+ pages length of the book. In contrast I found the paper on Origin of Species LE to be thick (and wonderful to touch) due to which I didn't see any impression due to ribbon marker, but then that book is half the length of Anna Karenina and yet almost as thick.

>157 ManishBadwal: Noticed that myself I have both editions and On the Origin of Species is much thicker pages I think it’s one better made editions although Anna is nicely done also. I like ribbon markers though since I don’t have to look for a book mark.
