Leo Tolstoy Classic Novels Editorial Review
The Everyman's Library Classics Series: "War and Peace" received mixed reception from readers. While many found the book to be beautifully written and a great work, others found it to be a daunting and sometimes tedious read due to its length and outdated content. The 3-volume boxed set, with an introduction by R.F. Christian, presents a new translation by Richard Pevear and Larissa Volokhonsky, which some readers Consider as the best interpreters of Russian literature. The story of "War and Peace" revolves around three families during the Napoleonic War, providing realistic depictions of battle and the lives of soldiers and generals. The review suggests that the characters in the book are rather odd, especially focusing on the Rostovs and the deeply annoying character of Natasha, as well as Pierre Bezukhov, who is portrayed as introspective and prone to transitions in life. The book also follows the noble Bolokhonsky family and their experiences during the war. The review expresses mixed feelings about the second epilogue, where Tolstoy attempts to reconcile divine power with man's actions.
