As Napoleon's army invades, Tolstoy vividly follows characters from diverse backgrounds--peasants and nobility, civilians and soldiers--as they struggle with the problems unique to their era, their history, and their culture. And as the novel progresses, these characters transcend their specificity, becoming some of the most moving--and human--figures in world literature. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003ePevear and Volokhonsky have brought us this classic novel in a translation remarkable for its fidelity to Tolstoy's style and cadence and for its energetic, accessible prose.\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Leo Tolstoy\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/strong\u003e Vintage\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublished:\u003c\/strong\u003e 12\/2\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1296\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2.15 lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9\" H x 6.1\" L x 2.1\" W\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9781400079988\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Flowerburst LLC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49533943841072,"sku":"9781400079988","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0879\/2712\/8368\/files\/9781400079988.jpg?v=1774849316","url":"https:\/\/flowerburst.co\/products\/war-and-peace-leo-tolstoy-paperback","provider":"Flowerburst","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
