Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: War and Peace Volume 1: Special Edition By Leo Tolstoy The most famous-and perhaps greatest-novel of all time, Tolstoy's War and Peace tells the story of five families struggling for survival during Napoleon's invasion of Russia.Among its many unforgettable characters is Prince Andrey Bolkonsky, a proud, dashing man who, despising the artifice of high society, joins the army to achieve glory. Badly wounded at Austerlitz, he begins to discover the emptiness of everything to which he has devoted himself. His death scene is considered one of the greatest passages in Russian literature.The novel's other hero, the bumbling Pierre Bezukhov, tries to find meaning in life through a series of philosophical systems that promise to resolve all questions. He at last discovers the Tolstoyan truth that wisdom is to be found not in systems but in the ordinary processes of daily life, especially in his marriage to the novel's most memorable heroine, Natasha. Both an intimate study of individual passions and an epic history of Russia and its people, War and Peace is nothing more or less than a complete portrait of human existence. We are delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive Classic Library collection. Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public.

Download or read book War and Peace written by Leo Tolstoi and published by Collector's Library. This book was released on 2004 with total page 1662 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Widely regarded as the greatest novel in any language, War and Peace is primarily concerned with the histories of five aristocratic families--particularly the Bezukhovs, the Bolkonskys, and the Rostovs--the members of which are portrayed against a vivid background of Russian social life during the war against Napoleon (1805-14). The theme of war, however, is subordinate to the story of family existence, which involves Tolstoy's optimistic belief in the life-asserting pattern of human existence. The heroine, Natasha Rostova, for example, reaches her greatest fulfilment through her marriage to Pierre Bezukhov and her motherhood. The novel also sets forth a theory of history, concluding that there is a minimum of free choice; all is ruled by an inexorable historical determinism

Tolstoy's style in Anna Karenina is considered by many critics to be transitional, forming a bridge between the realist and modernist novel.

This is an OCR edition with typos. Excerpt from book: THE GOSPEL IN BRIEF chapter{Section 4AUTHOR'S PREFACE I HIS present book is extracted from a larger work, JL which exists in manuscript, and cannot be published in Russia. That work consists of four parts, namely: ? 1. An account of that course of my personal life, and of my thoughts, which led me to the conviction that in the Christian teaching lies the truth. 2. An investigation of the Christian teaching ? first, according to the interpretation of the Greek Church solely; then, according to the interpretation of the Churches generally, and the interpretation of the apostles, councils, and so-called Fathers. Also, an exposition of the falsity in these interpretations. 3. An investigation of the Christian teaching, based, not upon the above interpretations, but solely upon the words and deeds ascribed to Christ by the four Gospels. 4. An exposition of the real meaning of the Christian teaching, of the motives for its perversions, and of the consequences to which it should lead. From the third of these parts this present volume is condensed. I have there effected the fusion of the four Gospels into one, according to the real sense of the teaching. I had no need to digress from the order in which each Gospel is written, so that in my harmonisation the transpositions of verses, rather than being more, are less numerous than in the greater part of those known to me, and in our Grechoulevitch's version of the four Gospels. In my treatment of the Gospel of John there is no transposition, but all stands in the same order as in the original. My division of the Gospel into twelve chapters (or six, since each pair of the twelve may be taken as one)came about spontaneously from the nature of the teaching. The following is the purport of the chapters: ? 1. M...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This edition contains detailed introduction to this Book, its author Leo Tolstoy and translator Constance Garnett in War And Peace, Volume 1 (ISBN- 9781542334266)'War and Peace', regarded as one of the central works of world literature and one of the longest novels, is written by the Russian author and philosopher Leo Tolstoy. War and Peace, first published in 1869, and Anna Karenina (1878) are considered his finest literary achievements. * Newsweek in 2009 ranked 'War and Peace' first in its 'Top 100 Books'. * In 2007, Time magazine ranked War and Peace third in its poll of the 10 greatest books of all time while Anna Karenina was ranked first. * According to the Encyclopaedia Britannica, "no single English novel attains the universality of Leo Tolstoy's War and Peace." * Gustave Flaubert wrote to Turgenev "This is the first class work! What an artist and what a psychologist! .... very powerful indeed." * John Galsworthy called War and Peace "the best novel that had ever been written". * Romain Rolland wrote: "this work, like life itself, has no beginning, no end. It is life itself in its eternal movement." * Thomas Mann considered War and Peace to be "the greatest ever war novel in the history of literature." * Ernest Hemingway confessed, "I don't know anybody who could write about war better than Tolstoy did""War and Peace" depicts the history of the French invasion of Russia and the impact of the Napoleonic era on Russian society through the stories of five Russian aristocratic families. Titled 'The Year 1805', this novel was serialized in The Russian Messenger in 1865-67. Tolstoy rewrote the entire story between 1866 and 1869 and published it as a single book in 1869 with an ending very different from the earlier serialized version. Leo Tolstoy was born at Yasnaya Polyana, 200 kilometers south of Moscow. The 'Tolstoy family' was of old Russian nobility that traced its ancestry to a mythical Lithuanian noble Indris. Leo Tolstoy was the fourth of five children of Count Nikolai Ilyich Tolstoy, a veteran of the Patriotic War of 1812, and Countess Mariya Tolstaya, both of whom died when Leo Tolstoy was young. In 1844, he began studying at Kazan University where his teachers described him as unable and unwilling to learn. Tolstoy left the university in the middle of his studies and spent much of his time in Moscow and Saint Petersburg. In 1851, after running up heavy gambling debts, he joined the army where he started writing.During his 1857 visit, Tolstoy witnessed a public execution in Paris, a traumatic experience that would mark the rest of his life. He wrote in a letter to his friend Vasily Botkin: "The truth is that the State is a conspiracy designed not only to exploit, but above all to corrupt its citizens ... Henceforth, I shall never serve any government anywhere." Tolstoy's concept of non-violence or Ahimsa was bolstered when he read a German version of the Tirukkural. He later instilled this concept in Mahatma Gandhi through his 'A Letter to a Hindu' when young Gandhi sought his advice.His European trip in 1860-61 shaped his political and literary development when he met Victor Hugo, who had finished his book Les Mis�rables. Tolstoy's political philosophy was also influenced by a March 1861 visit to French anarchist Pierre-Joseph Proudhon, then living in exile under an assumed name in Brussels. Apart from reviewing Proudhon's forthcoming publication, La Guerre et la Paix ('The War and The Peace' in French), Tolstoy discussed education with him.On September 23, 1862, Tolstoy married Sophia Andreevna Behrs, the daughter of a court physician. Tolstoy had 13 children from Sofia, eight of whom survived their childhood.Tolstoy died of pneumonia at Astapovo train station in 1910 at the age of 82 after a day's rail journey in south. The police tried to limit access to his funeral procession, but thousands of peasants lined the streets.
