This edition is based on a concise yet complete retelling of the great novel, with the story lines clearly set against the backdrop of the events of the early nineteenth century.

Reading the novel "War and Peace" is comparable to traveling along the Volga River from source to mouth. The traveler floats on the great river, feels its power and strength and examines the shores. But if during the voyage the contemplator receives aerial photos and videos from the accompanying airplane, he will get a more complete picture. His idea of the river will become more three-dimensional and multifaceted.

To give the reader an opportunity to get such a voluminous multidimensional view of Leo Tolstoy's novel was one of the main tasks in creating an illustrated guidebook.

In the book there is no literary analysis, art history descriptions. Only the stages of life of the characters and painting, giving the opportunity to see people and historical events through the eyes of artists of the time.

The guide is intended primarily for high school students. But not so that they do not read the original, but on the contrary, to make it more interesting to read a text written more than a hundred years ago.

It is also intended for those who reread "War and Peace" once every three or four years. They will find in the book many interesting facts, details, details that will complement the picture of the world created by Leo Tolstoy.
