War and Peace. Book 1

"War and Peace" — a novel-epic by Leo Tolstoy, one of the greatest works of world literature, describing the life of Russian society during the Napoleonic Wars. "War and Peace" — it is a large-scale picture of life in Russia, taken from all its social strata (from peasants to Emperor Alexander I), and a detailed description of the course of military actions, as well as an understanding of human behavior in war, but most importantly — it is a deep philosophical reflection and exploration of life as such — in daily life, in family, in peacetime, in war. That is why "War and Peace" can be read and re-read throughout life — this novel will never lose its relevance.
