Description Supposing Books War and Peace

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'.

Judgment Regarding Books War and Peace

What's life changing about it??

Not a review, and whatever is this, is incomplete due to my inability to express myself. In childhoods pride I said to Thee: O Thou, who madst me of Thy breath, Speak, Master, and reveal to me Thine inmost laws of life and death. Give me to drink each joy and pain Which Thine eternal hand can mete, For my insatiate soul would drain Earths utmost bitter, utmost sweet. Spare me no bliss, no pang of strife, Withhold no gift or grief I crave, The intricate lore of love and life And mystic

Holy cow! I am done! Not sure what to say . . . I feel like I should write a 1000 page review, but I will keep it short. I finished the book while a passenger in a mini-van stuck in horrible Atlanta traffic.The book was not quite as readable as some other BIG books I have read, but still pretty good. What amazed me is how few specific events occurred during the 1000+ pages - Tolstoy was just really detailed in describing the events. Only a few times, though, did I feel like it was too much.This

A Review in Three Parts: I. The Analytical Analysis II. The Review Here's the thing that surprised me the most about War & Peace: it's extremely readable. It's not filled with difficult or outdated language. (At least in the P&V translation.) It doesn't have long, hard to parse sentences. The action and dialogue is fairly straight-forward. The characters become easy to follow. If you are freaked out by War & Peace because you think it's hard, it's not. Although you will have to

So... I did it. I finally convinced myself to read War and Peace, partly because it's just something everyone wants to say they've done, and partly because one always needs a good excuse to procrastinate during the exam period when I should have been studying. And, you know what, I really enjoyed most of it. The novel is far less taxing than I imagined, I don't know if that's because the English translation goes easy on us non-Russians or because Tolstoy wrote it in a quite light-hearted

There are so many stories in this one novel that it is hardly possible to do it justice in a short reflection or even in a well researched doctorate thesis. I recently spoke to a person of about my age who shared with me the sense of "growing up" as a reader once we had mastered the more than lengthy story some time in our late teenage years. It became a hurdle to pass to count as a "grown-up reader". When we tried to specify the challenge of the long, long reading hours in our young, young

Just finished my second reading of War and Peace. Couldn't have loved it better. Maturity and knowledge of the times certainly helped my enjoyment. It didn't feel as long as it actually is. I loved all Tolstoy's meticulously created characters.I hope to write more soon.Not to be missed!_____I read Leo Tolstoy's War and Peace a long, long time ago. However, I still remember how I enjoyed this epic, even if I might have been too young and lacked the knowledge about Russian history that would have
