War And Peace: Leo Tolstoy (Penguin Clothbound Classics)

Brilliant

This is as we all know a very long book. Its not to thick or heavy as really thin paper. Like you find in a bible. The quality of this book is beautiful. Its well made. This book has made me full in love with Tolstoy. Its well written and a page turner. I would highly recommend both this book and author.

Great book, well made and quick dispatch

As expected

This is the best, most natural and most recent translation. It reads very well. I will finish it eventually I hope. The BBC adaptation has helped me sort out the main characters and has brought the novel to life although I'm sure I should have read the book before watching the production.

Excellent quality and content. Best book ever!

i am currently around 430 pages in, and oh my god. i got into this book through a musical (natasha, pierre and the great comet of 1812. great musical, definitely recommend!) and i decided to read it! yes, there are parts that bore me, i find the war a bit boring. but the rest! oh my god this is the best thing i have ever read! i’m enjoying it so much right now, by far my favourite book. i adore it!

It is quite a lengthy book, as we all know, but is beautifully produced, in an elegant cover. I have started to read it, and am looking forward to reading further. It was the wonderful BBC interpretation which spurred me on to buy it and read it again, as I have read it once before many, many years ago, but wished to do it again. If, like me, having seen it, you wish to read the origina -l book version - in an excellent English translation this is the book to buy! It will last for a long time, giving us a lot of pleasure reading it.

As described. Arrived before estimated date. Easy transaction.

I finally did it - I read "War and Peace" - and this Penguin Clothbound Classics edition made the journey as beautiful as it was rewarding. First, the physical book itself is stunning. The clothbound cover design is a work of art. The paper quality is excellent, the binding is sturdy, and despite being over 1,200 pages, it's surprisingly comfortable to hold and read. This edition looks incredible on the shelf but is clearly designed to be read, not just displayed. As for Tolstoy's masterpiece - where do I even start? Yes, it's long, but I was never bored. The battle scenes are thrilling, the ballroom scenes are elegant, and the philosophical sections (which everyone warns you about) were actually some of my favorite parts. The way Tolstoy weaves together dozens of characters across war and peace, love and death, is simply masterful. Pierre's search for meaning, Natasha's coming of age, Prince Andrei's arc - these characters became real to me. I genuinely cared what happened to them. The translation in this edition is clear and readable while maintaining the richness of Tolstoy's prose. This is an investment, but one I don't regret for a second. If you've been intimidated by "War and Peace," this edition makes it feel achievable and special.

I love this edition. Beautiful cover and it all fit in 1 book, normally this story has 2 books. I have not read it yet, but its a beautiful decor piece as well. Great for classic collectors and worth the money

Great quality and modern translation
