Antony's Brigg's acclaimed translation of Tolstoy's great Russian epic. Nominated as one of America’s best-loved novels by PBS’s The Great American Read

Set against the sweeping panoply of Napoleon's invasion of Russia, War and Peace—presented here in the first new English translation in forty years—is often considered the greatest novel ever written. At its center are Pierre Bezukhov, searching for meaning in his life; cynical Prince Andrei, ennobled by wartime suffering; and Natasha Rostov, whose impulsiveness threatens to destroy her happiness. As Tolstoy follows the changing fortunes of his characters, he crafts a view of humanity that is both epic and intimate and that continues to define fiction at its most resplendent.

This edition includes an introduction, note on the translation, cast of characters, maps, notes on the major battles depicted, and chapter summaries.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Lev Tolstoi

Lev Tolstoi (1828-1910) nasceu na Rússia, no seio de uma família nobre. Órfão desde cedo, optou por seguir a carreira militar, servindo-se mais tarde das suas experiências no campo de batalha para representar a guerra de forma realista nos seus romances.

Em 1856, abandona o exército e viaja pela Europa para estudar Pedagogia. De regresso à Rússia, dedica-se à escrita, publicando mais tarde em fascículos Guerra e Paz (1865-69) e Anna Karénina (1875-77), ainda hoje considerados dois dos melhores romances de sempre.
