War and Peace - Lev Nikolayevich Tolstoy
In Russia's struggle with Napoleon, Tolstoy saw a tragedy that involved all mankind.
Greater than a historical chronicle, War and Peace is an affirmation of life itself, a complete picture, as a contemporary reviewer put it, of everything in which people find their happiness and greatness, their grief and humiliation.
Tolstoy gave his personal approval to this translation, published here in a new single volume edition, which includes an introduction by Henry Gifford, and Tolstoy's important essay Some Words about War and Peace.
