War And Peace by Leo Tolstoy is a must-have masterpiece, beautifully presented in this clothbound edition from Penguin Classics. This iconic novel invites you into the intricacies of life in Napoleonic Russia, where three young protagonists—idealistic Pierre, weary Andrey, and passionate Natasha—navigate the tumultuous waters of love, loss, and war.

Set against the backdrop of a dazzling St Petersburg soirée in 1805, Tolstoy intertwines their destinies with a rich tapestry of characters, including humble peasants and the formidable emperor Napoleon. Through this narrative, readers are invited to explore profound themes such as:

  • The nature of love and its complexities
  • The inevitability of death and its impact on life choices
  • The struggle between free will and destiny

This extraordinary translation by Anthony Briggs breathes new life into Tolstoy's stirring prose, ensuring that modern readers can fully appreciate the nuances of the original text. Furthermore, the edition includes an insightful afterword by Orlando Figes, shedding light on the novel's vast scope and representation of Russian identity.

Enriched with helpful appendices, character lists, notes, and maps, this edition of War And Peace stands as the definitive way to immerse yourself in one of literature's greatest achievements. Experience the depth and richness of human experience through Tolstoy’s eye and transform your understanding of history and humanity.

We try and recreate the feel of the shop wherever we are online, to reflect our niche categories and personality.

Who knows where our adventure will lead but by supporting Sherlock & Pages you’re helping us to add a further layer of magic to our little corner of the world. If you haven’t visited our physical store, one day you might just make a literary pilgrimage down to Somerset.

Our tagline is ‘Long Live the Hedgerows’ and our symbol a hibernating dormouse. If you want to support an independent with a unique character and which will share stories with you for years to come, then choose Sherlock & Pages. The world needs bookshops with soul, for they are ‘citadels of light.’
