One of the greatest books ever written.
War and Peace is one of the best books ever written. Tolstoy uses fiction to discuss philosophy, history, romance, and the general condition of mankind. It is a massive book, so the first time I read it, I planned to take my time and read it over the course of 3-4 months, but it was so good that I could not put it down, and read it in a little more than three weeks. It is so good that this is the third translation that I will read.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht
