War and Peace

'The greatest of all novelists -- for what else can we call the author of "War and Peace"?' Virginia Woolf'The pure narrative power of Tolstoy's work is unequalled. To read him is to find one's way home, to everything within us that is fundamental and sane.' Thomas Mann'What an artist and what a psychologist! It seems to me there are some passages worthy of Shakespeare. I found myself crying out in admiration while reading.' Gustave Flaubert

A grand, romantic saga of two noble Russian families and a multitude of lives swept up in the violent tumult of the Napoleonic Wars, Leo Tolstoy's "War and Peace" is considered one of the preeminent literary works of all time. Tolstoy originally completed this novel in 1866, but it was not until years later--after the author had doubled the book's length with philosophical and historical meditations--that the great novel was published. More than half a century in the making, the result of extraordinary dedication and pains-taking research, here is Tolstoy's original version of this timeless classic, which never made it into print during the author's lifetime. Now readers can enjoy the epic and unforgettable story as the novelist originally intended--with its subtly different characters, dialogue, and ending--and experi-ence anew the breathtaking masterpiece that has inspired love and devotion for generations.

读后感

不知道为什么这套书出了这么久没有人评论。对本书的价值无需多言，这里我只评论一下该译本的特点，希望对译者较挑剔的朋友有所帮助。 1，本人看外文类书籍，译者是参考的第一位，因为翻译的过程无异于二次创作，这一点非常重要，买了粗制滥造的翻译，这边复制几段那边粘贴几页...  

我有时候无聊会想象自己喜欢的几个作家在天堂里（如果他们混的进去的话，，，）无所事事的情景。 爱伦坡和陀思妥耶夫斯基大概会蹲在在某个角落赌筛子，老陀一边猛输，（老天真对变态佬是没有胜算的）一边自我陶醉在自我毁灭的快感中，，， 托尔斯泰和巴尔扎克在大厅的中央的...  

花了整整一个假期的时间，终于读完了这部鸿篇巨作。我感受到的，是这部书所给予我的一种厚重感。 我相信没有人会不喜欢娜塔莎，喜欢她的美，喜欢她那眼波流转间里所流露出的快乐的笑意，喜欢她那一颦一笑间所展现出的快活的神情，她就像是一个闪着光亮的天使，散发着无穷...  

一、豆瓣有一个好处，就是你可以清楚的知道自己用了多久读了一本书，当我终于把《战争与和平》归到读过的一档里的时候，我发现我是从三月的时候读这本书的。但是确切的说，我读了上下两册加哈利波特的一到五册。可是总的来说。我觉得我这三个月来只读了一本书。那些哈利波特啊...  

花了将近三个星期断断续续读完了这部“史诗般”的巨著，也不过浅尝辄止而已。一直以来大概所谓“中陀思妥耶夫斯基”的毒太深，因而很难进入托尔斯泰乍一看起来异常琐碎、微弱、大体平淡、甚至无意义的细枝末节。深入分析十九世纪俄国文学两座高峰的对视远超越我智识所及范围；...
