Summary
Considered by many critics the greatest novel ever written, War and Peace is also one of the most feared. What is it readers see in a book about the Napoleonic Wars in the early 1800s? A mirror of our times. At its core it's a novel about human beings attempting to create a meaningful life for themselves in a country torn apart by war, social change, political intrigue, and spiritual confusion. Kaufman demonstrates how Tolstoy's wisdom can help us live fuller, more meaningful lives
