Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:Often called the greatest novel ever written, War and Peace is at once an epic of the Napoleonic Wars, a philosophical study, and a celebration of the Russian spirit. Tolstoy’s genius is seen clearly in the multitude of fully realized and equally memorable characters that populate this massive chronicle. Out of this complex narrative emerges a profound examination of the individual’s place in the historical process, one that makes it clear why Thomas Mann praised Tolstoy for his Homeric powers and placed War and Peace in the same category as the Iliad: “To read him..is to find one’s way home...to everything within us that is fundamental and sane.” Synopsis:The monumental novel considered one of the greatest ever written is an epic of the Napoleonic Wars, a philosophical study, and a celebration of the Russian spirit. This updated edition includes a Modern Library Reading Group Guide. About the AuthorTolstoy was a Russian novelist, social and moral thinker, and one of the great writers of realistic fiction.
