War and Peace (Illustrated)

• The book is an edited and illustrated version of the original one and includes 18 or more unique illustrations which are relevant to its content.
• At a glittering society party in St Petersburg in 1805, conversations are dominated by the prospect of war. The stories of quixotic Pierre, cynical Andrey and impetuous Natasha interweave with a huge cast, from aristocrats and peasants, to soldiers and Napoleon himself. In War and Peace, Tolstoy entwines grand themes - conflict and love, birth and death, free will and fate - with unforgettable scenes of nineteenth-century Russia, to create a magnificent epic of human life in all its imperfection and grandeur.
