书籍简介

1805年，在圣彼得堡一场盛大的社交聚会上，人们的谈话主要围绕着战争的前景。随着拿破仑的军队进军俄罗斯，恐怖迅速席卷了这个国家，三个年轻人的生活永远改变了。堂吉诃德式的皮埃尔、玩世不恭的安德烈和冲动的娜塔莎的故事交织在一起，从贵族、农民到士兵，再到拿破仑本人。

在《战争与和平》一书中，托尔斯泰将冲突与爱、生与死、自由意志与信仰等宏大主题与十九世纪俄国令人难忘的场景糅合在一起，以其不完美和宏伟为基调，创作了一部壮丽的人类生活史诗。安东尼·布里格斯(Anthony Briggs)的高超翻译结合了激动人心、易于理解的散文和忠实于托尔斯泰的原著，而奥兰多·菲格斯(Orlando Figes)的结语讨论了小说的广阔范围和对俄罗斯身份的描述。本版本还包含附录、注释、突出字符和地图的列表。

A beautiful Penguin Classics clothbound edition of Tolstoy's magnificent epic novel of love, conflict, fate and human life in all its imperfection and grandeur At a glittering society party in St Petersburg in 1805, conversations are dominated by the prospect of war. Terror swiftly engulfs the country as Napoleon's army marches on Russia, and the lives of three young people are changed forever. 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 faith - with unforgettable scenes of nineteenth-century Russia, to create a magnificent epic of human life in all its imperfection and grandeur. Translated with an introduction and notes by Anthony Briggs, and with an afterword by Orlando Figes Anthony Briggs's superb translation combines stirring, accessible prose with fidelity to Tolstoy's original, while Orlando Figes's afterword discusses the novel's vast scope and depiction of Russian identity. This edition also contains appendices, notes, a list of prominent characters and maps.
