Sobre este artículo
Dent,, [1957]. 3 vols., sm. 8vo., original rose cloth, gilt backs, orange tops, patterned endpapers, a near fine set in pictorial dustwrapper, the first and third volumes complete with photographic wrap-around bands. This edition was published to coincide with the release of King Vidor's feature film (1956) starring Audrey Hepburn, Henry Fonda and Mel Ferrer. The promotional bands feature three stills from the movie. Tolstoy's 'War and Peace' was first issued in Everyman's Library in 1911 in the anonymous translation of 1886; in 1932 the translation was checked throughout, passages which had been omitted were restored and certain defects of style corrected. VERY SCARCE IN THIS CONDITION. Everyman's Library, vols., 525, 526, 527; Hoppe, p.375; Seymour pp.270-1.
Sinopsis
War and Peace, a Russian novel by Leo Tolstoy, is considered one of the world's greatest works of fiction. It is regarded, along with Anna Karenina (1873–1877), as his finest literary achievement. Epic in scale, War and Peace delineates in graphic detail events leading up to Napoleon's invasion of Russia, and the impact of the Napoleonic era on Tsarist society, as seen through the eyes of five Russian aristocratic families.
