‘If you’ve never read it, now is the moment. This translation will show that you don’t read War and Peace, you live it’ The Times Tolstoy’s enthralling epic depicts Russia’s war with Napoleon and its effects on the lives of those caught up in the conflict.

His heroes are the thoughtful yet impulsive Pierre Bezukhov, his ambitious friend, Prince Andrei, and the woman who becomes indispensable to both of them, the enchanting Natasha Rostov. It is simply the greatest novel ever written. All human life is in it.
