War and Peace -- Leo Tolstoy

<i>War and Peace</i> is a vast epic centred on Napoleon's war with Russia. While it expresses Tolstoy's view that history is an inexorable process which man cannot influence, he peoples his great novel with a cast of over five hundred characters. <p/> Three of these, the artless and delightful Natasha Rostov, the world-weary Prince Andrew Bolkonsky and the idealistic Pierre Bezukhov illustrate Tolstoy's philosophy in this novel of unquestioned mastery. This translation is one which received Tolstoy's approval.<br><br><b>Author:</b> Leo Tolstoy<br><b>Publisher:</b> Wordsworth Editions<br><b>Published:</b> 07/01/1993<br><b>Pages:</b> 1024<br><b>Binding Type:</b> Paperback<br><b>Weight:</b> 1.45lbs<br><b>Size:</b> 7.80h x 4.80w x 2.20d<br><b>ISBN:</b> 9781853260629<br><b>Age Range:</b> 18-17<br><br><b>Accelerated Reader:</b><br><b>Reading Level:</b> 10.1<br><b>Point Value:</b> 118<br><b>Interest Level:</b> Upper Grade<br><b>Quiz #/Name: </b>10048 / War and Peace<br><p></p>
