War and Peace

* Beautifully illustrated with atmospheric paintings by renowned artists, Tolstoy's epic masterpiece is considered one of the world's greatest works of literature. Set in the early nineteenth century, War and Peace offers a deeply engrossing portrayal of the fortunes of five aristocratic families during the era of Napoleon's catastrophic invasion of Russia.* Just as accessible and enjoyable for today's readers as it would have been when first published over a century ago, the novel continues to be widely read throughout the world.* This meticulous digital edition is a faithful copy of the English language version of War and Peace translated by the Maude sisters and published in 1922.
