War and Peace

War and Peace is one of the best known Russian historical novels in literature. Opening at Anna Pavlovna’s soirée, it introduces you to characters—such as the misfit, illegitimate son Pierre, the analytical and loner Prince Andrew, the sexually alluring Helene, and the impulsive and lively Natasha, who plays the pivotal role—whose minds and actions prove to be the laboratory where Tolstoy, with a psychologist’s deftness and an artist’s vision, lays bare the frailties and manias that make up the human psyche. Intricately designed with gilded edges, exquisite endpapers, and a ribbon bookmark, this hardbound deluxe edition is perfect for gifting and ideal to be read and treasured.
