_Issue in TWO Double Volumes, Price 7s. per Set._
War and Peace.
BY COUNT TOLSTOY.
(_Contains 1600 pages. Printed in very clear type._)
This is not only one of the finest, but probably one of the longest novels
ever written, occupying, as it does in this edition, 1600 large and
closely printed pages. Notwithstanding its vast length, its multitude of
figures, the number of events it deals with, the interest of _War and
Peace_ is not only intense, but unbroken throughout the immense march of
the story, so that no reader, great though the undertaking is, will fail
to read to the end once he has started on the book. The eminent French
critic, Vicomte E. M. de Vogüé, writing on _War and Peace_, says:
"As you advance in the book, curiosity changes into astonishment, and
astonishment into admiration, before this impassive judge, who calls
before his tribunal all human actions, and makes the soul render to
itself an account of all its secrets. You feel yourself swept away on
the current of a tranquil river, the depth of which you cannot fathom;
it is life itself which is passing, agitating the hearts of men, which
are suddenly made bare in the truth and complexity of their
movements."
At the end of the second volume, a complete Synopsis of the story is
given, also a list of the principal characters (of which there are about
one hundred).
