War and Peace by Leo Tolstoy

1412 Pages, Published In 1869

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Leo Tolstoy’s epic novel War and Peace, translated by Richard Pevear & Larissa Volokhonsk. 1412 pages, 361 chapters. For me, 2 attempts in 3 years, over 2 months to finish. Stories of several Russian aristocratic families before, during and after the 1812 French invasion (and retreat) of Russia. A War book, a Romance book, a Philosophy and a History book. Virginia Woolf called Tolstoy “the greatest of all novelists”. Gary Saul Morson referred to the book as the greatest of all novels.
