Why Tolstoy wrote this book?
During Russia's struggle with Napoleon, Leo Tolstoy observed the tragedy that ruined mankind. Greater than a historical chronicle, War and Peace is an affirmation of life itself, that gives its readers a complete picture, as a contemporary reviewer in which people find their happiness and greatness, including grief and humiliation'. Tolstoy proposed his approval to this translation, which was published here in a new single-volume edition, which includes an introduction by Henry Gifford.
ABOUT WAR AND PEACE
It is nominated as one of the Tolstoy's masterworks and America’s best-loved novels by PBS that gained award-winning translators of Anna Karenina and The Brothers Karamazov.
The novel War and Peace is broadly focusing on 1812 Napoleon’s invasion of Russia that follows 3 of the most well-known characters in literature: Pierre Bezukhov, the illegitimate yearning spiritual fulfillment; followed by Prince Andrei Bolkonsky, who left his family behind to fight the war against Napoleon; and Natasha Rostov, who is the beautiful daughter of a nobleman.
1. Personified as the people change and the characters in War and Peace endure extreme experiences and emerge at the end as different people. The miracle of the book is that Natasha falls in love with everyone in the ballrooms of the opening which is recognizable as the same woman who withdraws from society.
