Guerra y paz

War and Peace is one of the great novels of history. From the sumptuous parties of Saint Petersburg and Moscow, to the Russian front of the battle of Austerlitz, Tolstoy presents us with a broad fresco of Russian society at the time and does so through the experiences of several Russian families. This epic novel addresses essential questions of the human condition, such as the devastating consequences of war, and the irremediable transformations that families and society as a whole suffer with it. War and Peace has not lost an iota of topicality and retains the ability to dazzle anyone who decides to read it today.
