Publisher's summary

From noble families to battlegrounds. Love, war, and the struggle for meaning.

War and Peace, Tolstoy's finest literary achievement.

A captivating and thought-provoking listen, War and Peace chronicles the French invasion of Russia and the lasting impact it had on five aristocratic families. It will take you on a soul-stirring journey as we follow several interconnected characters of the Tsarist society during the early 19th century as they navigate through love, fears, and personal struggles against the backdrop of the Napoleonic Wars.

Follow the author as he delves into the nature of power, the futility of war, the search for meaning in life, and the complexities of human relationships through the lives of the Bezukhovs, the Bolkonskys, the Rostovs, the Kuragins, and the Drubetskoys, families that represent different aspects of Russian society.

Tolstoy masterfully combines richly detailed descriptions, extensive character development, and philosophical reflections on the nature of history and human existence.

In War and Peace, you'll experience a new kind of novel, narrative structure and cinematic-like visual detail, a new writing technique that emerged in the 1800s and which Tolstoy mastered. This literary work truly belongs on every writer's and book lover’s bookshelf.

Timeless Classic

War & Peace is a book I read for the first time years ago and really enjoyed. This version narrated by Christopher Peerce was wonderfully done. It’s a dense book to get through but worth it to visualize the realities of life during times of war and peace. I feel this audio book version does a good job at bringing Tolstoy’s story to life.
