Alfred A. Knopf Translating Tolstoy.
WSJ: Every culture thinks its literature will stand the test of time. What is it about the Russian novelists that makes us come back to their work again and again?

Mr. Pevear and Ms. Volokhonsky: I think there's the phrase "the accursed questions" attributed to Dostoyevsky: What is the meaning of li...fe, the existence of God, the mystery of death, the big metaphysical spiritual questions?

Alfred A. Knopf Carolina Derobertis, author of THE INVISIBLE MOUNTAIN, has a fan page - become a fan and pick up her novel! The Invisible Mountain was just named one of Booklist's top ten first novels of 2009.

ABOUT THE INVISIBLE MOUNTAIN "The kind of novel you stay up late to finish and lie awake thinking about." - The San Francisco Chronicle "This visionary book beautifully, bravely opens all the old secrets." - Elle On the first day of the century, a small Uruguayan town gathers to witness a miracle and unra...vel its portents: the mysterious reappearance of a lost infant, Pajarita. Later, as a young woman in the capital city—Montevideo, brimming with growth and promise—Pajarita begins a lineage of independent women, from bold poets to clandestine revolutionaries. At once expansive and lush with detail, this debut novel is an intimate exploration of the search for love and authenticity, power and redemption, in the lives of three women, and a penetrating portrait of a small, tenacious nation, Uruguay, shaken in the gales of the twentieth century. "Enchanting, funny, and heartbreaking... extraordinary" - Publishers Weekly "Lush...lyrical...beautifully wrought" - Kirkus Reviews "Marvelous...bold...brings to vivid life the history and culture of Uruguay." - Cristina García, author of Dreaming in Cuban "Exceptional" - Booklist "Rhapsodic" - BookBrowse "Impressive" - Otago Daily Times (New Zealand)
