War and Peace (set of 2 books)

In the novel "War and Peace," L. N. Tolstoy created a grand literary canvas about Russia in the early 19th century. A detailed chronicle of the lives of several noble families, large-scale battle scenes, an accurate portrait of society with its ideology, philosophy, and everyday life - in all components of the novel, researchers recognize the “highest artistic objectivity.” The writer explored the Russian character through the example of several hundred characters. Some of them are historical figures, while others are based on prototypes, including members of the Tolstoy family. The writer used an incredible number of historical sources, archival materials, family traditions, and memoirs, from which a whole library was compiled. This edition brings back to the reader the classic illustrations by Dementy Alexeyevich Shmarinov, which are part of the golden fund of domestic book graphics. Incredibly vivid, created as if from life, they are in amazing harmony with the text of one of the central works of world literature. The set includes 2 books.
