Book: War And Peace( Series - Oxford World's Classics ) In Russia's struggle with Napoleon, Tolstoy saw a tragedy that involved all mankind. Greater than a historical chronicle, War and Peace is an affirmation of life itself, a complete picture', as a contemporary reviewer put it, of everything in which people find their happiness and greatness, their grief and humiliation'.
Tolstoy gave his personal approval to this translation, published here in a new single volume edition, which includes an introduction by Henry Gifford, and Tolstoy's important essay Some Words about War and Peace'.
