Often called the greatest novel ever written, War and Peace is at once a historical war epic, a philosophical study, and a celebration of the Russian spirit.
Noted for its mastery of realistic detail and psychological analysis, War and Peace follows the metamorphosis of five aristocratic families against the backdrop of the Napoleonic wars. Individual stories interweave as each of Tolstoy’s memorable characters seek fulfillment, fall in love, make mistakes, and become scarred by war in different ways.
Out of this complex narrative emerges a profound examination of the individual’s place in the historical process.
Thomas Mann praised Tolstoy for his Homeric powers: “To be played upon by the animal keenness of this eye, the sheer power of this creative attack, the entirely clear and true greatness…of this epic, is to find one’s way home…to everything within us that is fundamental and sane.”
(P)1997 Blackstone Audio, Inc.Recensioni della critica
“There will not be a better recording of Tolstoy’s masterpiece for some time…The impressive dialog sparkles with humor and wit, and the vivid scenes of battle are riveting…Davidson’s exquisite narration heightens the perfection of this novel, regarded as one of the greatest in literature.”
(Library Journal (audio review))"[War and Peace] felt so specific to the world of Tolstoy’s creation but also to right now. What is living in the United States in 2020 but a society of people trying to disregard what is painful until it comes, in favor of thinking about what is pleasant?”
(Vox)“[A] complex plot, vivid characters, and profound insights into war and the nature of power.”
(Publishers Weekly)“There remains the greatest of all novelists—for what else can we call the author of War and Peace?”
(Virginia Woolf, English author of modernist literaturer)“If the world could write by itself, it would write like Tolstoy.”
(Isaak Babel, Russian author)
