Yeah, I get why it's so great. The first half was reeeeeeally slow for me, but the second half really picked back up. I think if I were to reread it, I'd enjoy it even more. The only part that was like actually pulling teeth was the second epilogue... which is just a very long and dense philosophical essay. Didn't love that part!

drako1357's review against another edition

5.0

Lev Nikoláievich Tolstói fue un escritor ruso, creció en una familia aristocrática, lo que le permitió dedicarse a su pasión más grande, la Escritura.
Debido a los largos inviernos rusos es tan común que muchos de los libros mas grandes provengan de este país, este no es la excepción, no es fácil leer este libro, es denso, es pesado y con la edición de Porrúa la letra es muy pequeña.
Este libro es una joya de la literatura y uno de los retos literarios que presenta enfrentarse a esta obra, personalmente disfrute mucho la descripción que hace Tolstoi de la guerra y su opinión hacia esta, que deja ver a través de sus personajes.
La obra retrata la historia de 4 familias y como se relacionan durante las guerras napoleónicas, mezclando personajes ficticios con históricos resulta un retrato bastante interesante de ese periodo de la historia.
Recomiendo la lectura de esta novela, aunque quizás no deba ser el punto de partida para leer a Tolstoi y la literatura rusa en general.
