Seller's Description
WAR AND PEACE by Leo Tolstoy.
Tolstoy's masterpiece and one of the greatest novels in any language, WAR AND PEACE is a complete portrait of nineteenth-century Russian life. Fluctuating between times of turbulence and bloodshed and lavish bouts of opulence, it is swept along by Toltoy's evocative, vibrant prose.
The novel opens at a sumptuous part, where a group of aristcrats are discussing the notion of war an early indication of troubles ahead. Napoleon's invasion of Russia rocks the nation, but Tolstoy's concer is primarily with the personal crisis created. Centering around the joys and misfortunes of the rostov family, he weaves a web of diverse, colourful characters - among them Pierre Bezukhov, vacillating between Freemasonary, philanthropy and mysticism in his desperaste search for truth; the beautiful heroine Natasha, full of lively spontaneity and the tragically disillusioned Andrew Bolkonski. WAR AND PEACE is a magnificent achievement, blending the historical, social, moral, psychological and personal in its broad depiction of human insight and experience.
