The Cahiers Series is published in association with The Center for Writers & Translators at the American University of Paris. The goal of this series is to make available new explorations in writing, in translating, and in the areas linking these two activities.


Cahier 1
Translating Music, Richard Pevear

The first volume in the series is by one of the most renowned contemporary translators into English. He discusses his recent experience of translating Tolstoy’s War and Peace, and offers alongside his illuminating essay a wonderful rendition of Pushkin’s long poem The Tale of the Preacher and His Man Bumpkin, printed in Russian and English and accompanied by drawings by Pushkin himself.
