Pierre searches for purpose, Andrei for glory and Natasha for love, while Russia moves towards war. Tolstoy’s enthralling epic depicts Russia’s war with Napoleon and its effects on the lives of those caught up in the conflict. Moving between St Petersburg, Moscow, country estates and battlefields, War and Peace follows families linked by love, ambition, inheritance and history.
At its heart are Pierre Bezukhov, thoughtful and impulsive; Prince Andrei, restless and ambitious; and Natasha Rostov, whose vitality changes the lives around her. This is a classic Russian epic about war, love, family and the search for meaning. Vast in scope yet intimate in feeling, Tolstoy brings public history and private emotion together, showing how individuals are shaped by forces they can neither control nor fully understand.
War and Peace is essential reading for anyone drawn to historical fiction, literary classics and novels that ask what it means to live morally in a world of upheaval.
