Description During Books War and Peace, V1 (War and Peace, 4 Volumes)
After years of lying to myself and others I finally read the entire book - completely on my IPhone no less. In my defense, I couldn't help lying. After working tirelessly to sustain a (minor) reputation as a reader (and quite knowledgable person)of 19th cetury Russian writers I found it impossible to admit I never read the biggest book of them all. Now that I have read it I can only say that the hype doesn't live up to the book. Sweeping historical movement combined with brilliant observations on the pettiness of everday life, topped off with unashamed religious / spiritual appeals moves this book to the top of my recommedation list. Don't be fooled as I was. Just because everyone says it's a great book doesn't mean it isn't.

This is definitely one of the books that you have to grow to want to read and properly enjoy it. Ive heard a lot of stuff before, but none of it measures to how mind blowing and spectacular the book was. It may not be my regular 5 star rating, I just couldnt rate it anything less. Cant wait to read other volumes!One of the most complete stories i have ever read! Tolstoï really took me into this vast world of the high society of Russia. He also described beautifully the war strategies like the one of Austerlitz. Reading this story, at first, needs lots of concentration in order to assimilate the different personalities. However, once you get used to them, youll get to knew them as he describes the psychology of everyone!Im really looking forward to continuing the second book!
I read War and Peace once before twenty years ago and as you would expect loved it. Would I love it as much the second time around?Most assuredly. Furthermore, now in my early forties I appreciate even more Flaubert's famous assessment after he had read it: "This is the first class work! What an artist and what a psychologist!"How true that last statement is in particular! What distinguishes War and Peace from 19th century literature is the realistic changes and growth that the major characters
Wow. Anther book I should have picked up and read years ago. Glad they put it in two parts for an audio book as it is LONG.
Kind of surprised that this does'nt have a wikia-page or something similar.
This is an absolutely stunning novel. I read both volumes. Tolstoy truly is one of the best novelists who has ever lived. I think I actually liked War and Peace more than Anna Karenina but that's a tough call. I will definitely read this book again. I learned so much about history and the human condition. Wow, I cannot overstate how great this book is.
