War And Peace, Volume 2 by Leo Tolstoy

Few would dispute the claim of 'War and Peace' to be regarded as the greatest novel in any language. This massive chronicle, to which Leo Tolstoy (1828-1910) devoted five whole years shortly after his marriage, portrays Russian family life during and after the Napoleonic War. Tolstoy's faith in life and his piercing insight lends universality to a work which holds the mirror up to Nature as truly as that of Shakespeare or Homer. This second volume of Rosemary Edmonds's modern translation describes Napoleon's Russian campaign of 1812 and the retreat from Moscow. This 1967 Penguin Books Paperback is in good condition. Previous owner's name on inside front cover. Some foxing.
