"Great translation of a classic"
5 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

I have not yet finished this great novel, but from what I have read, this translation seems very true to Tolstoy's inten­tion, having been approved by him during his lifetime. The notes at the back if the book are very useful, and are great to help you understand the book better. It is a huge book so you do need to stick with it, but it is rightly a classic that deserves to be read

Description

This work is translated by Louise & Aylmer Maude. It includes an introduction and notes by Henry and Olga Claridge, University of Kent at Canterbury. "War and Peace" is a vast epic centred on Napoleon's war with Russia. While it expresses Tolstoy's view that history is an inexorable process which man cannot influence, he peoples his great novel with a cast of over five hundred characters. Three of these, the artless and delightful Natasha Rostov, the world-weary Prince Andrew Bolkonsky and the idealistic Pierre Bezukhov illustrate Tolstoy's philosophy.
