Reviews"There remains the greatest of all novelists-for what else can we call the author of War and Peace ?" - Virginia Woolf, "Of authors my favorite is Tolstoy."--Anton Chekhov "I marveled at the strength of his huge talent...It sends a cold shudder even down my back...He is a master, a master."--Ivan Turgenev

SynopsisLeo Tolstoy's grand masterpiece--a timeless saga of family, love, and loss in Russia surrounding the War of 1812. "The greatest of all novelists...what else can we call the author of War and Peace ?" asked Virginia Woolf rhetorically--and literary luminaries the world over have agreed with her. The saga stands alone in its vast scope and minute detail, its immense diversity and final unity. Set in the years leading up to and culminating in Napoleon's disastrous Russian invasion, the novel focuses upon an entire society torn by conflict and change. Here is humanity in all its innocence and corruption, wisdom and folly, painful defeats and enduring triumphs. Here is the seemingly effortless artistry of a master capable of portraying with equal power the clash of armies and the solitary anguish of the heart. Here, finally, is a view of history and personal destiny that is perpetually modern.

A Comfortable Read
Having read "War and Peace" some five times, I think the most succinct and accurate thing I can say about this translation is that it's comfortable and a joy to read. It avoids both the stilted accuracy of early translations and the awkward attempts at contemporary familiarity. This reads like what it's supposed to be, a good story set as a great novel and thanks to translations like this, still the greatest novel ever written. It flows like a smooth flowing river. It was a delightful find. Bravo, Ann DunniganBestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Neu
