War and Peace

by Leo Tolstoy
Translated by Ann Dunnigan
Introduction by John Bayley

January 1, 1981 | Mass Market Paperbound

Based on 10 ratings | Rate this

In Russia''s struggle with Napoleon, Tolstoy saw a tragedy that involved all mankind. Yet while his historical vision ranged beyond national frontiers, his imaginative vision focused, with extraordinary intensity, on the lives of individuals, on the physical reality of human experience and its bewildering complexity. Greater than a historical chronicle, War and Peace is an affirmation of life itself, ''a complete picture'', as a contemporary reviewer put it, ''of everything in which people find their happiness and greatness, their grief and humiliation''.

War and Peace is set in the time of the Napoleonic era. Each character has a theme: political, religion, and deception. Each character is unique and very complex. This book is very long, and very hard. Perhaps it is so hard is because they through in sentences in French every-other page. This book is amazing, and worth the two-weeks of attempting to read it. It is probably one of the best books I have ever read!
