A retelling of Leo Tolstoy · 1869

War and Peace

“From a Petersburg drawing room in 1805 to the burning of Moscow and the retreat of Napoleon's army, the lives of three noble families — the Rostovs, the Bolkonskys and the awkward heir Pierre Bezukhov — are swept up in war, love, loss and the search for what makes a life worth living.”
