本书是十九世纪俄国著名的批判现实主义作家列夫·托尔斯泰的代表作之一。作者以抵抗拿破仑侵略的卫国战争为中心，通过对几个贵族家庭的描写，反映了从1805年俄军在奥斯特里齐一役的溃败，到1825年贵族十二月党人起义前夕这段历史时期的俄国生活。小说把“战争”与“和平”，即“前线”与“后方”交织在一起，构成了一幅广阔宏伟的画面。小说描写了从统治阶级的最高代表到普通农民共五百多个人物，把文学、哲学、政治结合成为一个统一的整体，把史诗式的叙述、形形色色的生活场景、深刻的性格和心理描写穿插在全书中。本书为外文原版书籍。

War and Peace is a vast epic centred on Napoleon’s war with Russia. While it expresses Tolstoy’s view that history is an inexorable process which man cannot influence, he peoples his great novel with a cast of over five hundred characters.

Three of these, the artless and delightful Natasha Rostov, the world-weary Prince Andrew Bolkonsky and the idealistic Pierre Bezukhov illustrate Tolstoy’s philosophy in this novel of unquestioned mastery.

This translation is the one which received Tolstoy’s approval.
