Includes detailed Table of Contents various famous authors' praises of War and Peace a list of dates of principal historical events and 7 maps throughout text as well as maps on the front & rear paste-down endpapers. An epic historical novel by Leo Tolstoy originally published as Voyna i mir in 1865-69. This panoramic study of early 19th-century Russian society noted for its mastery of realistic detail and variety of psychological analysis is generally regarded as one of the world's greatest novels. War and Peace is primarily concerned with the histories of five aristocratic families -- particularly the Bezukhovs the Bolkonskys and the Rostovs -- the members of which are portrayed against a vivid background of Russian social life during the war against Napoleon 1805-14. The theme of war however is subordinate to the story of family existence which involves Tolstoy's optimistic belief in the life-asserting pattern of human existence. The heroine Natasha Rostova for example reaches her greatest fulfillment through her marriage to Pierre Bezukhov and her motherhood. The novel also sets forth a theory of history concluding that there is a minimum of free choice; all is ruled by an inexorable historical determinism. Simon and Schuster hardcover books
