Against the thunder of war, the lives of families, lovers, soldiers, and seekers become entwined with the fate of a nation.As Napoleon’s armies transform Europe, the aristocratic families of Russia find their private hopes and sorrows overtaken by history. Pierre Bezukhov unexpectedly inherits an immense fortune yet struggles to discover meaning in a life of privilege. Prince Andrei Bolkonsky abandons the emptiness of society for the battlefield and the promise of glory, only to confront the terrible realities of war. Young Natasha Rostova enters adulthood with an irrepressible love of life, but passion, betrayal, grief, and sacrifice will profoundly change her world.From glittering drawing rooms and country estates to the battlefields of Austerlitz and Borodino and the burning streets of Moscow, War and Peace follows its unforgettable characters through love, marriage, ambition, death, spiritual searching, and Napoleon’s invasion of Russia. Vast in scope yet deeply intimate, Leo Tolstoy’s masterpiece explores the forces that shape human lives and nations, asking whether history is made by great leaders or by the countless choices of ordinary people caught within its current.
