War and Peace is a vast epic centred on Napoleon's war with Russia. While it expresses Tolstoy's view that history is an inexorable process which man cannot influence, he peoples his great novel with a cast of over five hundred characters.

Condition

A good reading copy. There is age-related wear to the dustwrapper edges and a little fading to the spine. The book remains in strong readable condition, with some spotting to the page edges.
