Description of  War and Peace (AmazonClassics Edition) [Audiobook]

In early nineteenth-century Russia, the threat of Napoleons invasion looms, and the lives of millions are about to be changed forever. This includes Pierre Bezkhov, illegitimate son of an aristocrat Andrew Bolknski, ambitious military scion and Natsha Rostva, compassionate daughter of a nobleman. All of them are unprepared for what lies ahead. Alongside their fellow compatriots - a catalog of enduring literary characters - Pierre, Andrew, and Natsha will be irrevocably torn between fate and free will. Through the bonds of love and family, and all that can break them, Tolstoy examines the effects of war on every strata of society in his masterwork of intimate - and epic - social history. Revised edition: Previously published as War and Peace, this edition of War and Peace (AmazonClassics Edition) includes editorial revisions.
