War and Peace - Unabridged Edition - E-book - ePub

War and Peace is Tolstoy's best-known work and one of the most widely read and beloved in universal literature. These unforgettable pages tell the story of two families of the Russian aristocracy against the backdrop of patriarchal and peasant Russia devastated by wars and Napoleon's invasion, but even more shocked by the influence of Western Europe. War and Peace is an imaginative epos and poignant sonata of the Great Russia of the early 19th Century.
This book is a masterpiece that crashes the boundaries of the novel to go beyond any genre definition, and turn from time to time into historical novel, family chronicle, historiographical treatise, pamphlet, philosophical text.
