WAR AND PEACE
by Leo Tolstoy
Translated by Pevear and Volokhonsky.
While the outcome of Napoleon’s war (1812) changed the course of world history, Tolstoy’s epic War and Peace changed our understanding of place in the world. The stories of the three central characters, Natasha Rostov, and the two men who love her, Bezukhov and Bokonsky, bring us the full tapestry of Russian life: nobles, soldiers, peasants, and serfs and we become immersed in their daily lives, intrigues and struggles. It is a genuine, page-turning, masterpiece. Pevear and Volokhonsky have won international praise (and prizes) for their startlingly accurate, contemporary and riveting translations of Tolstoy and Dostoevsky.
