Original author: graf Leo Tolstoy

CompletedPublished Updated

"War and Peace" by graf Leo Tolstoy is a literary work published in 1869. Set during the Napoleonic Wars, it chronicles the French invasion of Russia through five interlocking narratives following different Russian aristocratic families. The work blends fictional storytelling with philosophical discussions about history, war, and power. Tolstoy himself hesitated to classify it, saying it is "not a novel, even less is it a poem, and still less a historical chronicle." It remains one of the most praised classics of world literature.
