5/25/2023 0 Comments War and peace penguin![]() "The best translation so far of Tolstoy's masterpiece into English." Praise for Antony Brigg's translation of War and Peace: This edition includes an introduction, note on the translation, cast of characters, maps, notes on the major battles depicted, and chapter summaries. As Tolstoy follows the changing fortunes of his characters, he crafts a view of humanity that is both epic and intimate and that continues to define fiction at its most resplendent. At its center are Pierre Bezukhov, searching for meaning in his life cynical Prince Andrei, ennobled by wartime suffering and Natasha Rostov, whose impulsiveness threatens to destroy her happiness. Set against the sweeping panoply of Napoleon's invasion of Russia, War and Peace-presented here in the first new English translation in forty years-is often considered the greatest novel ever written. ![]() Nominated as one of America’s best-loved novels by PBS’s The Great American Read A Penguin Classics Deluxe Edition of Tolstoy's great Russian epic. ![]()
