Description
Considered one of the world's greatest masterpieces, Leo Tolstoy's War and Peace, provides an in-depth view of Russian society during the times of the Napoleonic Wars. Although this book introduces the reader to over 500 characters, the story mostly centers on the three aristocratic families of the Bezukhovs, the Bolkonskys, and the Rostovs; and chronicles their lives during the tumultuous times of the early nineteenth century. Written from Tolstoy's point of view that history cannot be altered and that man can do nothing to influence it, this book readily displays Tolstoy's mastery as an author in the face of his unconventional historical perspective. A whopper of a paperback at 994 pgs. A Wordsworth Classic. ~ Enh
Publisher's Description of War and Peace
War and Peace is a vast epic centred on Napoleon's war with Russia. While it expresses Tolstoy's view that history is an inexorable process which man cannot influence, he peoples his great novel with a cast of over five hundred characters.Three of these, the artless and delightful Natasha Rostov, the world-weary Prince Andrew Bolkonsky and the idealistic Pierre Bezukhov illustrate Tolstoy's philosophy in this novel of unquestioned mastery. This translation is one which received Tolstoy's approval.
Translated by Louise & Aylmer Maude. With an Introduction by Henry and Olga Claridge, University of Kent at Canterbury.
