<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>Nominated as one of America's best-loved novels by PBS's <i>The Great American Read</i></b> <p/>Often called the greatest novel ever written, <i>War and Peace</i> is at once an epic of the Napoleonic Wars, a philosophical study, and a celebration of the Russian spirit. Tolstoy's genius is seen clearly in the multitude of characters in this massive chronicle--all of them fully realized and equally memorable. Out of this complex narrative emerges a profound examination of the individual's place in the historical process, one that makes it clear why Thomas Mann praised Tolstoy for his Homeric powers and placed <i>War and Peace</i> in the same category as the <i>Iliad: </i> "To read him . . . is to find one' s way home . . . to everything within us that is fundamental and sane."<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"There remains the greatest of all novelists--for what else can we call the author of <i>War and Peace</i>?" --<b>Virginia Woolf</b><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>A.
