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.

让我萌生动笔之念的原因在于，在看了网络上本就不多且质量高的更加屈指可数的几篇托评之后，我有点失望也有点意料之中地发现，只有一篇提到了安德烈之死。失望是因为这是《战争与和平》里对我而言真正重要的情节，毫不夸张地说它在我13岁那年影响了我的人生观，一直到现在。意...
