Barnes & Noble Classics pulls together a constellation of influencesbiographical, historical, and literaryto enrich each reader's understanding of these enduring works. The most famousand perhaps greatestnovel of all time, Tolstoy ’s War and Peace tells the story of five families struggling for survival during Napoleon’s invasion of Russia. Among its many unforgettable characters is Prince Andrey Bolkonsky, a proud, dashing man who, despising the artifice of high society, joins the army to achieve glory. Badly wounded at Austerlitz, he begins to discover the emptiness of everything to which he has devoted himself. His death scene is considered one of the greatest passages in Russian literature. The novel's other hero, the bumbling Pierre Bezukhov, tries to find meaning in life through a series of philosophical systems that promise to resolve all questions. He at last discovers the Tolstoyan truth that wisdom is to be found not in systems but in the ordinary processes of daily life, especially in his marriage to the novel's most memorable heroine, Natasha. Both an intimate study of individual passions and an epic history of Russia and its people, War and Peace is nothing more or less than a complete portrait of human existence. 0in 0in 0pt"> Joseph Frank is Professor Emeritus of Comparative Literature at Princeton University and Professor Emeritus of Comparative Literature and Slavic Languages and Literature at Stanford University.

列夫·尼古拉耶维奇·托尔斯泰(ЛевНиколаевич Толстой)(1828~1910) 19世纪末20世纪初俄国最伟大的文学家,也是世界文学史上最杰出的作家之一,他的文学作品在世界文学中占有重要的地位。代表作有长篇小说《战争与和平》、《安娜·卡列尼娜》、《复活》以及自传体小说三部曲《幼年》《少年》《青年》。其它作品还有《一个地主的早晨》《哥萨克》《塞瓦斯托波尔故事集》等。他也创作了大量童话。他以自己一生的辛勤创作,登上了当时欧洲批判现实主义文学的高峰。他还以自己有力的笔触和卓越的艺术技巧辛勤创作了“世界文学中第一流的作品”,因此被列宁称颂为具有“最清醒的现实主义”的“天才艺术家”。
托尔斯泰思想中充满着矛盾,这种矛盾正是俄国社会错综复杂的矛盾的反映,是一个富有正义感的贵族知识分子在寻求新生活中,清醒与软弱、奋斗与彷徨、呼喊与苦闷的生动写照。托尔斯泰的作品纵然其中有反动的和空想的东西,但仍不失为世界进步人类的骄傲,他已被公认是全世界的文学泰斗。列夫·托尔斯泰被列宁称为“俄国革命的镜子”

评分《战争与和平》摘抄与心得。 娜塔莎和皮埃尔都具备一种博爱精神,宽容,善良,但二者又有所区别;娜塔莎之爱是单纯,一尘不染的,不谙世事,天真的认为所有的人之间都彼此真诚面对,友爱;皮埃尔是阅尽繁华和参透人生,经过宗教精神(共济会)的洗礼后的一种大彻大悟之爱,是知...
