{"product_id":"9781566190275","title":"War and peace","description":"From Richard Pevear and Larissa Volokhonsky, the best-selling, award-winning translators of \u003ci\u003eAnna Karenina\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThe Brothers Karamazov\u003c\/i\u003e, comes a brilliant, engaging, and eminently readable translation of Leo Tolstoy’s master epic.  \u003cp\u003e  \u003ci\u003eWar and Peace\u003c\/i\u003e centers broadly on Napoleon’s invasion of Russia in 1812 and follows three of the best-known characters in literature: Pierre Bezukhov, the illegitimate son of a count who is fighting for his inheritance and yearning for spiritual fulfillment; Prince Andrei Bolkonsky, who leaves behind his family to fight in the war against Napoleon; and Natasha Rostov, the beautiful young daughter of a nobleman, who intrigues both men. As Napoleon’s army invades, Tolstoy vividly follows characters from diverse backgrounds —peasants and nobility, civilians and soldiers— as they struggle with the problems unique to their era, their history, and their culture. And as the novel progresses, these characters transcend their specificity, becoming some of the most moving —and human— figures in world literature.  \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e  Pevear and Volokhonsky have brought us this classic novel in a translation remarkable for its fidelity to Tolstoy’s style and cadence and for its energetic, accessible prose. With stunning grace and precision, this new version of \u003ci\u003eWar and Peace\u003c\/i\u003e is set to become the definitive English edition.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sterling Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42555532476477,"sku":"9781566190275","price":5.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0603\/0838\/9949\/files\/9781566190275_p0.jpg?v=1771570219","url":"https:\/\/www.tatteredcover.com\/products\/9781566190275","provider":"Tattered Cover","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
