At a glittering society party in St Petersburg in 1805, conversations are dominated by the prospect of war. Terros swiftly engulfs the country as Napoleon's army marches on Rusia, and the lives of three young people are changed for ever. The stories of quixotic Pierre, cynical Andrey and impetuous Natasha interweave with a huge cast, from aristocrats and peasants to soldiers and Napoleon himself. in War and Peace (1863-9), Tolstoy entwines grand themes - conflict and love, birth and death, free will and fate - with unforgettable scenes of nineteenth-century Russia, to create a magnificent epic of human life in all its imperfection and grandeur.

Pobyt v cudzine v blízkosti milovaného muža a nové zážitky Anne na chvíľu prinesú pocit šťastia a radosti. Po návrate do Ruska milenci pochopia, že sa dostali na okraj spoločnosti. Anne neprinesie pokoj ani odchod na vidiek. Trápi ju strata spoločenského postavenia, bojí sa o lásku milovaného muža a trpí ustavične sa stupňujúcimi výčitkami svedomia. Uvedomuje si bezvýchodiskové postavenie a čoraz nástojčivejšie sa jej vynára myšlienka, že jediné riešenie je smrť.

War and Peace broadly focuses on Napoleon’s invasion of Russia in 1812 and follows three of the most well-known characters in Pierre Bezukhov, the illegitimate son of a count who is fighting for his inheritance and yearning for spiritual fulfillment; Prince Andrei Bolkonsky, who leaves his family behind to fight in the war against Napoleon; and Natasha Rostov, the beautiful young daughter of a nobleman who intrigues both men.As Napoleon’s army invades, Tolstoy brilliantly follows characters from diverse backgrounds—peasants and nobility, civilians and soldiers—as they struggle with the problems unique to their era, their history, and their culture. And as the novel progresses, these characters transcend their specificity, becoming some of the most moving—and human—figures in world literature.
