Guerra e Paz

by Leo Tolstoy

Overview

Escrito entre 1865 e 1869, "Guerra e Paz" é provavelmente a obra-prima de Tolstoi e uma das maiores criações literárias de sempre. Tendo como pano de fundo um cenário de guerra, com a invasão da Rússia por parte das tropas napoleónicas, esta novela épica surge como uma reflexão sobre a vida humana e a sua frágil existência. Nesta obra grandiosa, as personagens amam, odeiam e lutam, mas acima de tudo anseiam por encontrar o sentido da vida.
