War and Peace Volume 2

War and Peace is a giant masterpiece that has been read with great admiration for one hundred and fifty years and is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful epic novels of all time.

Tolstoy depicts hundreds of very real characters from Russian society in the historical period when Napoleon's armies advanced to Moscow. Lively and magnificent paintings of war and peace are adorned with cleverly constructed details...

As great realist writers always do, Tolstoy looks at history and society from a lively and active center. At its heart is always the division between the 'two nations', the peasants and the landowners. In War and Peace, we see the ordinary 'people' side by side with the most elite segments of the noble class in a life-and-death struggle, but even victory is not enough to eliminate the inequality between them.

In the words of the great critic Lukács, Tolstoy; “How to organize life in such a way that people do not have to destroy themselves by exploiting the labor of others?” A writer who has been searching for the answer to the question throughout his life. War and Peace owes its unique epic greatness partly to this question.

“What a great work, isn't it? What a giant person! Here's an artist for you... Do you know what's even more surprising? His peasant voice, his peasant-like thinking! He is a peasant to his core! There was no real muzhik in our literature until this noble man appeared... Who in Europe can be put on the same level as him? Nobody!"
