War and Peace is a literary work by Russian author Leo Tolstoy. Set during the Napoleonic Wars, the work mixes fictional narrative with chapters discussing history and philosophy. It is regarded, with
Anna Karenina, as Tolstoy’s finest literary achievement and remains an internationally praised classic of world literature.
The book chronicles the French invasion of Russia and its aftermath during the Napoleonic era. It uses five interlocking narratives following different Russian aristocratic families to illustrate Napoleon’s impact on Tsarist society.
Tolstoy said that the best Russian literature does not conform to standards and hence hesitated to classify
War and Peace, saying it is ‘not a novel, even less is it a poem, and still less a historical chronicle.’ Large sections, especially the later chapters, are philosophical discussions rather than narrative.
