Does anyone know how to change the edition of a book you are reading? It used to be easy. I tagged the one I wanted, but it throws up something else. I’ve been working on it for 1/2 an hour and it isn’t working. Thank you - whoever can help me.

I am giving up on this book. I tried and tried, but in my honest opinion, it is not a great classic. The translators are Manya Harari and Max Hayward- supposedly the better two for translation. I really doubt the translation was the issue.

I got the strong impression Pasternak was a Tolstoy wannabe. Pasternak is no Tolstoy.

Tricky reading. Very good so far, but tricky. Russian names galore. Certainly is a mind teaser!
