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 for ever. 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 (1863-9), 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.
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 includes appendices, notes, a list of prominent characters and maps.
Count Leo Tolstoy was born on September 9, 1828, in Yasnaya Polyana, Russia. Orphaned at nine, he was brought up by an elderly aunt and educated by French tutors until he matriculated at Kazan University in 1844. In 1847, he gave up his studies and, after several aimless years, volunteered for military duty, serving as a junior officer in the Crimean War before retiring in 1857. In 1862, Tolstoy married Sophie Behrs, a marriage that was to become, for him, bitterly unhappy. His diary, started in 1847, was used for self-study and self-criticism; it served as the source from which he drew much of the material that appeared not only in his great novels War and Peace (1869) and Anna Karenina (1877), but also in his shorter works. Seeking religious justification for his life, Tolstoy evolved a new Christianity based upon his own interpretation of the Gospels. Yasnaya Polyana became a mecca for his many converts. At the age of eighty-two, the writer’s health failed him in Astapovo, Russia, where he died on November 20, 1910.
Antony Briggs has translated widely from the Russian, especially Pushkin, and is the author of several critical books on Russian literature. Orlando Figes is the author of A People's Tragedy: The Russian Revolution, 1891-1924 and, most recently, Natasha's Dance: A Cultural History of Russia.

評分終於找到經典名著的正確打開方式,先看電影或電視劇再挑戰原作。2012年BBC迷你劇選角精準也把時代背景還原得不錯,賞心悅目順帶把主角名字背一遍(其實沒那麼難記)。 隻是書中最精彩的心理描寫和哲學思辨實在拍不齣來,隻有有耐心讀完四捲1200頁外加150頁史上最長後記的人纔能體會。好像前麵的所有情節和人物全都是為瞭演示作者關於時代與個人命運的思考而設置的。而這些思考在170年後的今天仍然重要,仍然懸而未決。

最近在看《战争与和平》,朋友听说我在看这本书,基本上都是被雷到的表情,我这才恍然大悟,从前我以为大家都看过这本书,只有我没看过,所以也没好意思问人家看没看过,现在才知道,所谓世界名著就是从小你就知道你应该看,你自己也觉得自己该看,但是人人都觉得将来会看,人...
評分花了整整一个假期的时间,终于读完了这部鸿篇巨作。我感受到的,是这部书所给予我的一种厚重感。 我相信没有人会不喜欢娜塔莎,喜欢她的美,喜欢她那眼波流转间里所流露出的快乐的笑意,喜欢她那一颦一笑间所展现出的快活的神情,她就像是一个闪着光亮的天使,散发着无穷...
評分1 一八五六年,老沙皇尼古拉一世服毒自杀,新沙皇亚历山大二世即位,新政使人们对尼古拉一世登基时发生的十二月党人起义又产生了新的热情,但是一贯反对权威的托尔斯泰对“挖出这些老古董”很不以为然,结果被比他大十岁的屠格涅夫用书信狠狠地教训了一番,这也使他对这段历史...
評分让我萌生动笔之念的原因在于,在看了网络上本就不多且质量高的更加屈指可数的几篇托评之后,我有点失望也有点意料之中地发现,只有一篇提到了安德烈之死。失望是因为这是《战争与和平》里对我而言真正重要的情节,毫不夸张地说它在我13岁那年影响了我的人生观,一直到现在。意...
評分比较希腊神话和《圣经》中的英雄形象,不难看出二者的差异。与希腊神话中拥有强大个人意志甚至敢于反抗众神的英雄相比,《圣经》中的英雄多为上帝的选民,他们尊敬上帝并为上帝所服务,因而拥有超凡的神力。但一旦疏忽了自己的责任,就会失去上帝的庇佑,从而失去力量。如...
