In Russia’s struggle with Napoleon, Tolstoy saw a tragedy that involved all mankind.<\/p>\n
War and Peace broadly focuses on Napoleon\u2019s invasion of Russia in 1812 and follows three of the most well-known characters in literature: Pierre Bezukhov, the illegitimate son of a count who is fighting for his inheritance and yearning for spiritual fulfillment; Prince Andrei Bolkonsky, who leaves his family behind to fight in the war against Napoleon; and Natasha Rostov, the beautiful young daughter of a nobleman who intrigues both men.<\/p>\n
As Napoleon\u2019s army invades, Tolstoy brilliantly follows characters from diverse backgrounds\u2014peasants and nobility, civilians and soldiers\u2014as they struggle with the problems unique to their era, their history, and their culture. And as the novel progresses, these characters transcend their specificity, becoming some of the most moving\u2014and human\u2014figures in world literature.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
