Sobre este artículo
First edition in English, first printing, export issue. The domestic issue was published in two volume increments starting on January 16, 1886 and continued in May and July. Gottsberger set aside an unknown number of these books for release in Europe with title pages bearing the imprint of their publishing partners in London, Paris, and Leipzig, and their versos stating intended circulation for Europe. They were sold as complete 6 volume sets in Europe no later than September(the Vizetelly London edition, long thought to be the first in English, was published later in October). These sets are much rarer than their ubiquitous American market counterparts - I've not seen another in the sales records.
Publisher's elaborately decorated brown cloth(the books were also available in wrappers), front boards gilt-stamped with Napoleonic and Russian Imperial crests, spines gilt-lettered, brown-coated endpapers. General wear and rubbing particularly to spines and spine ends, occasional light foxing to fore-edges. Large armorial bookplates in all volumes(Rugby School of Warwickshire, England - birthplace of rugby football). Overall a Very Good, untouched set housed in a custom case. Parke-Bernet purchase receipt from June '77.

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 (1873–7), 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. First titled '1805' the first installment was published in the January 1865 edition of Russkiy Vestnik. It ran in serial form for 2 years before Tolstoy reworked much of the manuscript before publishing it in 1869 as War and Peace.
