   I found that one in  my  newly-bought  PocketBook  Education   
   (now  sadly  discontinued)  and  enjoyed it tremendously, as   
   well as the second Soiviet screen adaptaion:

   which has been a soul-elevating experiece to me.  Our  first   
   adaptation  of  Crusoe  is  an  early  3D movie shot for the   
   world's first  no-goggles  stereoscopic  movie  theater,  in   
   Moscow:

   Emily Bronte.  On my to-read list.

   Do try the shorter and later works by Tolstoy: Resurrection,   
   Kholstomer,  and  short  stories.  About "War and Pience" he   
   wrote: "I am not going to write such verbose  dreck  again."   
   We also have a very good screen adaptation of Resurrection:
