War and Peace (Oxford World's Classics)

Here is a one-volume paperback edition of arguably the greatest novel ever written, in the acclaimed Maude translation. Far more than a historical chronicle of Russia's struggle with Napoleon, War and Peace offers a dazzling array of characters, offering an unmatched portrait of the physical realities of human life, indeed, a complete portrait of the human experience--from happiness and greatness, to grief and humiliation. This new one-volume edition replaces the two paperback volumes in the World's Classics first published in 1983.
