Война и миръ

Leo Tolstoy    translator: Aylmer Maude

overview

Translated by Louise & Aylmer Maude
With an Introduction and notes by Henry and Olga Claridge, University of Kent at Canterbury.
War and Peace is a vast epic centred on Napoleon's war with Russia. While it expresses Tolstoy's view that history is an inexorable process which man cannot influence, he peoples his great novel with a cast of over five hundred characters.
Three of these, the artless and delightful Natasha Rostov, the world-weary Prince Andrew Bolkonsky and the idealistic Pierre Bezukhov illustrate Tolstoy's philosophy.
