Tolstoy, Leo - War and Peace New Edition - ( Item 141739 )
Published in United Kingdom by Folio Society. 2014. First Thus. Fine Hardback. No inscriptions or bookplates. Very Good slipcase. Some marks to base panel of slipcase. 2 volumes. Introduced by Richard Pevear and Larissa Volokhonsky. Preface by James Wood. Illustrated by Igor Karash. Tolstoy's masterpiece, in the highly-acclaimed translation by Richard Pevear and Larissa Volokhonsky. Among the most influential novels of all time, Leo Tolstoy's War and Peace is set against the great political events surrounding Napoleon's attempted invasion of Russia in 1812. Boasting over five hundred characters, the sprawling narrative focuses on the fortunes and struggles of five aristocratic families. Featuring both real and fictional protagonists, from lowly foot soldiers to Napoleon himself, Tolstoy weaves a literary and historical epic that has never been equalled. Translated from the Russian by Richard Pevear and Larissa Volokhonsky. Set in Albertina with Modern Extended as display. Printed on Abbey Wove. Three quarter-bound in buckram with printed cloth front boards. Approx. 1,544 pages in total. 30 colour illustrations. Book size: 10" x 6.25". Leo Tolstoy was born in Yasnaya Polyana, near Tula, in 1828. He studied law at Kazan and Petersburg universities before serving in the army in the 1850s. His first novel, Childhood, was published in 1852, followed by Sevastopol Sketches in 1855, inspired by his Crimean War experience. He published one novel per year until his return to his estate and marriage, in 1862, after which he began work on War and Peace (1869). This was followed by Anna Karenina (1877). The publication of A Confession in 1884 signalled a conversion, in which Tolstoy renounced possessions and espoused pacifism; his later essays and novels had a similar moral emphasis. He died in 1910.
