Description

A Penguin Classics Deluxe Edition of Tolstoy's great Russian epic, War and Peace, is presented here in the first new English translation in forty years. Set against the sweeping backdrop of Napoleon's invasion of Russia, this novel follows the changing fortunes of its characters as they navigate the complexities of life, love, and war.

At its center are three main characters: Pierre, Prince Andrei, and Natasha, each searching for meaning and happiness in their own way. As Tolstoy crafts a view of humanity that is both epic and intimate, he explores the human experience in all its complexity.

This edition includes an introduction, note on the translation, cast of characters, maps, notes on the major battles depicted, and chapter summaries, making it a comprehensive and accessible introduction to Tolstoy's masterpiece.
