With his novel War and Peace, Leo Tolstoy created a grand literary canvas about Russia at the beginning of the 19th century. A detailed chronicle of the lives of several noble families, large-scale battle scenes, a precise portrait of society with its ideology, philosophy, and everyday customs—in all aspects of the novel, researchers recognize the author's "highest artistic objectivity." The writer explored the Russian character through the example of several hundred characters. Some of them are historical figures, others are based on prototypes, including members of Tolstoy's own family. The writer drew on an incredible number of historical sources, archival materials, family legends, and memoirs, from which an entire library was compiled. With this edition, the reader is returned to the classic illustrations of Dementiy Alekseevich Shmarinov, part of the golden fund of Russian book graphics. Incredibly lively, as if drawn from life, they are in amazing harmony with the text of one of the central works of world literature.
