OPINIONS OF THE PRESS.
“A story of Russia in the time of Napoleon’s wars. It is a story of the
family rather than of the field, and is charming in its delineations of
quaint Russian customs. It is a novel of absorbing interest, full of
action and with a well managed plot; a book well worth
reading.”--_Philadelphia Enquirer._

“The story of ‘War and Peace’ ranks as the greatest of Slavic historical
novels. It is intensely dramatic in places and the battle scenes are
marvels of picturesque description. At other points the vein is quiet
and philosophical, and the reader is held by the soothing charm that is
in complete contrast with the action and energy of battle.”--_Observer,
Utica, N. Y._

“War and Peace is a historical novel and is extremely interesting, not
only in its description of the times of the great invasion eighty years
ago, but in its vivid pictures of life and character in
Russia.”--_Journal of Commerce, New York._

“On general principles the historical novel is neither valuable as fact
nor entertaining as fiction. But ‘War and Peace’ is a striking exception
to this rule. It deals with the most impressive and dramatic period of
European history. It reproduces a living panorama of scene, and actors,
and circumstance idealized into the intense and artistic life of
imaginative composition, and written with a brilliancy of style and
epigrammatic play of thought, a depth of significance, that render the
story one of the most fascinating and absorbing.”--_Boston Evening
Traveller._
