Described by Leo Tolstoy as “not a novel, even less . . . a poem, and still less a historical chronicle,” War and Peace is widely considered his greatest achievement. The scope and brilliance of War and Peace has captivated audiences for a century and a half, and the text has been in curriculum ranging from the humanities to military theory. Centered on Napoleon’s disastrous 1812 invasion of Russia, the massive work covers a range of literary themes; Tolstoy masterfully depicts five aristocratic families whose experiences reveal the nature of war, power, and history. War and Peace is a pillar of the Russian literary canon, and it’s a must-have for any student of literature or history.
