"War and Peace" by Leo Tolstoy and illustrated by Feliks Topolski - Folio Society, London - 1978 first thus UK edition - 18cmx15cm - condition: very good, with all illustrations in original slipcase

War and Peace (Russian: Война и мир, romanized: Voyna i mir; pre-reform Russian: Война и миръ; [vɐjˈna i ˈmʲir]) is a literary work by Russian author Leo Tolstoy. Set during the Napoleonic Wars, the work mixes fictional narrative with chapters discussing history and philosophy. An early version was published serially beginning in 1865, after which the entire book was rewritten and published in 1869. It is regarded, with Anna Karenina, as Tolstoy's finest literary achievement and remains an internationally praised classic of world literature.[1][2][3]

The book chronicles the French invasion of Russia and its aftermath during the Napoleonic era. It uses five interlocking narratives following different Russian aristocratic families to illustrate Napoleon's impact on Tsarist society. Portions of an earlier version, titled The Year 1805,[4] were serialized in The Russian Messenger from 1865 to 1867 before the novel was published in its entirety in 1869.[5]

Tolstoy said that the best Russian literature does not conform to standards and hence hesitated to classify War and Peace, saying it is "not a novel, even less is it a poem, and still less a historical chronicle." Large sections, especially the later chapters, are philosophical discussions rather than narrative.[6] He regarded Anna Karenina as his first true novel.

Boeken in goede orde ontvangen, dank. Er waren wat problemen met de verzending en dan blijkt dat het contact met de verkoper nogal moeizaam verloopt.

Spedizione a dar poco lenta, penso che avrebbe fatto più presto a viaggiare con una carrozza a cavalli. Spese di spedizione eccessive, pagati separatamente due oggetti arrivati nello stesso pacco

Ik ben deze week weggeweest. Ik heb u net een bericht gestuurd dat een onderzoek met postnl opgestart zal worden voor dit pakket; en u kan vervangende boeken krijgen of een refund.

Boek is in orde maar ruim 2 weken op verzending moeten wachten.

Everything fine – the envelope was a bit torn, but the bubble wrap protected the book well. Thanks.

Fast delivery and well-packaged (luckily, because the courier just slammed it through the mailslot). Always happy buying from this seller!
