From Library Journal
Thanks to British narrator Frederick Davidson's performance, it is safe to say that there will not be a better recording of Tolstoy's masterpiece for some time. The heart of this drama is the metamorphosis of five familiesAsome peasant, some aristocraticAamid the backdrop of the Napoleonic Wars. Each individual is immersed in experiences and conversations elucidating Tolstoy's themes of self-sacrifice and self-indulgence, anguish and ecstasy, diplomacy and deception, and religion and perdition. The complexities of character and plot are sometimes enigmatic, and names are often exhausting to recollect, but the genius of this book is everlasting. The impressive dialog sparkles with humor and wit, and the vivid scenes of battle are riveting. An entire universe is created by one of the foremost thinkers of the 19th century, and Davidson's exquisite narration heightens the perfection of this novel, regarded as one of the greatest in literature. Highly recommended for all collections.ABarbara Mann, Adelphi Univ., Garden City, NY

WAR AND PEACE successfully captured life's promises, challenges, joys, triumphs, and losses in a way that no other novels has done before and after. In this novel with more characters than any other I can imagine; the main characters are Pierre Bezuhov, Prince Andrey Bolkonsky, and Natasha Rostov, who are all affected by the destabilization of the war Napoleon brought upon Russia in the early nineteenth century. It is around them that the other characters revolve. Even though the sheer size of this novel of over a million words may discourage readers to pick it up, the consuming nature of the story keeps a reader glued to the book from the opening pages. The sheer power of this romantic and adventurous story made this classic story to survive as perhaps the best of all times.
The essence of Power, which is what leads individuals to move nations is the ultimate question of War and Peace. And this individuals or great men of history, are in reality the slave of history. That underlying fact can be found in other Russian stories. UNION MOUJIK, TARAS BULBA, CRIME AND PUNISHMENT,MASTER AND MAN feature that concept. The war part of the story features remarkable military campaigns such as those by Napoleon and his Russian counterpart, Emperor Aleksandr, as they employed their different strategies in the quest for victory on the lands of Russia.
War and Peace is entertaining as well as enlightening and is considered by many to be the master of all Russian novels. Its overview of Russian life and culture involving peasants and the aristocracy gives a true to life portrayal of humanity. You can find glimpses of other Great Russian novels in this story. In short, this epic cannot be forgotten after you have read it.

Tolstoj's story of war between France and Russia, who finally stopped Napoleon in his quest for taking over the Europe, is exceptional in his size and narration. Story is written through lives of four main characters - Andrei, Pierre, Natasa and Nikolai. There are, of course, many persons, who are also involved (their friends, families and foes), but their relationships, thoughta, actions and feelings are the guiding light through the story. Through the pavilions of pre-war Moscow over the start of war, Napoleon's pillage of Moscow (he also is an impotant character in the book)we see the growing of people, affections on their thinking, living, feeling. They are shown very colourful, writer's tribute is paid even to the foes, we cannot say which character is ugly and which is good. Though it reads like a soap opera from the beginning, you soon start to feel the depth of every single person. I believe Tolstoj's greatness lie in fact that he took himself time to show the complicated nature of this people (and complicated nature is ours also), which was the basic for their decisions and actions. Although they seem sometimes foolish and irrational, so they seemed to think at that time and we can see our lives from that perspective, too. What seems quite normal, perhaps necessary to me, can be immoral, even unexceptable to you. The story is written from everybody's point of view. It's this view that makes this book so exquisit. I wish everyone would read this book and gain such a view. Many things on Earth would be easier.

Even though I am only 13 and I just finished reading War and Peace, I think it is the best thing I have ever read! Tolstoy's use of description made the battles seem real. His eloquence pushed what could have been a pathetic read into a timeless classic. The conflicts, both domestic and otherwise, were the most realistic I have read about. It's amazing how Tolstoy could make even war look good. Read this book!

Krieg und Frieden
Ein Muss in jedem Bücherschrank. Allerdings ist die Schrift (ca. 1.000 Seiten) sehr klein und daher wird das Lesen mit der Zeit etwas anstrengend.
