War and Peace is one of the best known Russian historical novels in literature. Opening at Anna Pavlovna' s soiré e, it introduces you to characters¬ -- such as the misfit, illegitimate son Pierre, the analytical and loner Prince Andrew, the sexually alluring Helene, and the impulsive and lively Natasha, who plays the pivotal role-- whose minds and actions prove to be the laboratory where Tolstoy, with a psychologist' s deftness and an artist' s vision, lays bare the frailties and manias that make up the human psyche.
Intricately designed with gilded edges, exquisite endpapers, and a ribbon bookmark, this leather-bound deluxe edition is perfect for gifting and ideal to be read and treasured."
