Description
Tolstoy's epic masterpiece weaves together the lives of private and public individuals during the Napoleonic wars and the French invasion of Russia. The fortunes of the Rostovs and the Bolkonskys, Pierre, Natasha, and Andrei, are intertwined with the national history of the time. This revised and updated version of the Maude translation brings Tolstoy's genius and the power of his prose to a contemporary audience. The novel explores ideas of free will, fate, and providence, while also portraying marital relations and domestic scenes with truth and poignancy. The prodigious cast of characters, both great and small, seem to act and move as if connected by threads of destiny. With its extraordinary imaginative power, this work remains a powerful exploration of human experience. Oxford World's Classics has made this definitive translation available, providing a wealth of valuable features including expert introductions, helpful notes, and up-to-date bibliographies for further study.
