About this book
“War and Peace” is an epic work by Leo Tolstoy, first unveiled in 1869. The narrative, set amidst the Napoleonic Wars, interweaves fictional storytelling with historical and philosophical discourses.
The book delves into the repercussions of Napoleon’s reign on the Tsarist society, as seen through the experiences of various Russian noble families. The novel is acclaimed for its meticulous detail and psychological insight. Tolstoy himself described it as “not a novel, even less is it a poem, and still less a historical chronicle”.
