About this listen
War and Peace, written by Leo Tolstoy and published serially between 1865 and 1869, is a monumental Russian novel that intertwines historical events with the lives of fictional characters during Napoleon’s invasion of Russia from 1805 to 1820. Set against the backdrop of the Napoleonic Wars, it explores the lives of aristocratic families, primarily the Bolkonskys, Rostovs, and Pierre Bezukhov, as they navigate love, loss, and personal growth amid battles like Austerlitz and Borodino, and the burning of Moscow in 1812. Blending historical accuracy with philosophical reflections, Tolstoy examines themes of fate, free will, and the interplay of individual lives with the vast forces of history, creating an epic that captures both the grandeur of war and the intimacy of human relationships in early 19th-century Russia.
