War and Peace (Wordsworth Classics of World Literature) [平装]

《战争与和平》是列夫•托尔斯泰的代表作之一。小说以史诗式的规模，反映了1805-1820年俄国的重大社会历史事件、整个动荡不安的时代和社会各阶级各阶层人物思想情绪的起伏转折，气势磅礴地展示了“无与伦比的俄国生活的图画”，多方面地表现了俄国各阶层人民的爱国热忱和勇敢斗争的精神。人物形象丰富多采，性格鲜明生动，心理分析新颖独到。

War and Peace is a vast epic centred on Napoleon's war with Russia. While it expresses Tolstoy's view that history is an inexorable process which man cannot influence, he peoples his great novel with a cast of over five hundred characters. Three of these, the artless and delightful Natasha Rostov, the world-weary Prince Andrew Bolkonsky and the idealistic Pierre Bezukhov illustrate Tolstoy's philosophy.

世界十大文学名著战争与和平(全4册)

From Library Journal
Thanks to British narrator Frederick Davidson's performance, it is safe to say that there will not be a better recording of Tolstoy's masterpiece for some time. The heart of this drama is the metamorphosis of five familiesAsome peasant, some aristocraticAamid the backdrop of the Napoleonic Wars. Each individual is immersed in experiences and conversations elucidating Tolstoy's themes of self-sacrifice and self-indulgence, anguish and ecstasy, diplomacy and deception, and religion and perdition. The complexities of character and plot are sometimes enigmatic, and names are often exhausting to recollect, but the genius of this book is everlasting. The impressive dialog sparkles with humor and wit, and the vivid scenes of battle are riveting. An entire universe is created by one of the foremost thinkers of the 19th century, and Davidson's exquisite narration heightens the perfection of this novel, regarded as one of the greatest in literature. Highly recommended for all collections.ABarbara Mann, Adelphi Univ., Garden City, NY
