A stunning edition of Tolstoy's great novel, one of the undisputed masterpieces of world literature
"The last word of the landlord's literature and the brilliant one at that." -Fyodor Dostoyevsky "The best ever Russian historical novel." -Nikolai Leskov "One of the most remarkable books of our age." -Ivan Turgenev "This is the first class work!… This is powerful, very powerful indeed." -Gustave Flaubert "The best novel that had ever been written." -John Galsworthy "This work, like life itself, has no beginning, no end. It is life itself in its eternal movement." -Romain Rolland "The greatest ever war novel in the history of literature." -Thomas Mann "There remains the greatest of all novelists - for what else can we call the author of 'War and Peace'?" -Virginia Woolf "Tolstoy is the greatest Russian writer of prose fiction." -Vladimir Nabokov
War and Peace broadly focuses on Napoleon's invasion of Russia in 1812 and follows three of the most well-known characters in literature: Pierre Bezukhov, the illegitimate son of a count who is fighting for his inheritance and yearning for spiritual fulfillment; Prince Andrei Bolkonsky, who leaves his family behind to fight in the war against Napoleon; and Natasha Rostov, the beautiful young daughter of a nobleman who intrigues both men. As Napoleon's army invades, Tolstoy brilliantly follows characters from diverse backgrounds-peasants and nobility, civilians and soldiers-as they struggle with the problems unique to their era, their history, and their culture. And as the novel progresses, these characters transcend their specificity, becoming some of the most moving-and human-figures in world literature.
