Description
War and Peace by Leo Tolstoy is a sweeping epic that intertwines the lives of private individuals with the national history of 19th-century Russia. Against the backdrop of Napoleon's invasion, Tolstoy masterfully weaves together themes of free will, fate, and providence, as well as poignant portrayals of marital relations and everyday human passions. The novel's prodigious cast of characters, both great and small, seem to act with a sense of destiny, their lives intimately connected to the national history unfolding around them. This translation, featuring a new introduction by Amy Mandelker, brings Tolstoy's genius and prose to life in a way that is both accessible and engaging. This edition includes revised and expanded notes, lists of fictional and historical characters, a chronology of historical events, five maps, and Tolstoy's essay "Some Words about War and Peace".
