Tolstoy's epic of Russia in the Napoleonic wars, published 1865-69 and often called the greatest novel ever written. Three families — the Bolkonskys, the Rostovs and the Kuragins — live through 1805 to 1812: Napoleon's invasion, the Battle of Borodino, the burning of Moscow, and the fates of Pierre Bezukhov, Prince Andrei and Natasha Rostova. Thousands of pages of history, philosophy, love and death, written with a fidelity to life that no other novel matches. This edition uses Constance Garnett's translation.
