I read a french translation so I cannot recommend an English one, sorry. But it definitely didn't read like fanfiction in my translation!

I wonder if the French parts of the book were altered in the translation or kept as is. Or do you get excerpts of untranslated Russian instead, huh?

No excerpts of untranslated Russian. What about the English version?

But I read that Tolstoy participated in the french translation, since he spoke french fluently.
