About this listen

Tolstoy's epic masterpiece intertwines the lives of private and public individuals during the time of the Napoleonic wars and the French invasion of Russia.

The fortunes of the Rostovs and the Bolkonskys, of Pierre, Natasha, and Andrei, are intimately connected with the national history that is played out in parallel with their lives. Balls and soirées alternate with councils of war and the machinations of statesmen and generals, scenes of violent battles with everyday human passions in a work whose extraordinary imaginative power has never been surpassed. The prodigious cast of characters, both great and small, seem to act and move as if connected by threads of destiny as the novel relentlessly questions ideas of free will, fate, and providence. Yet Tolstoy's portrayal of marital relations and scenes of domesticity is as truthful and poignant as the grand themes that underlie them.

An interesting period epic, brought to life by Jonathan Keeble

Read this as working my way through 100 books to read before you die. I'm not generally into period drama and I didn't take to most of the characters, with the exception of perhaps Pierre and Andrew,, but this was brought to life by the fantastic talents of Mr Jonathan Keeble, one of my favourite narrators.
