Tolstoy's epic masterpiece, War and Peace, captures with unprecedented immediacy the broad sweep of life during the Napoleonic wars and the brutal invasion of Russia. Balls and soirées, the burning of Moscow, the intrigues of statesmen and generals, scenes of violent battles, the quiet moments of everyday life all woven together in a work whose extraordinary imaginative power encompasses the entirety of human existence that has never been surpassed.
Striking a balance between philosophical discussion and compelling storytelling, War and Peace transcends the restrictions that Tolstoy perceived in the conventional novel.
