aiffix 's review for:

War and Peace by Leo Tolstoy
3.0

just finished the second volume of French 1964 Livre de Poche edition. It is less of a classic than the first one, less finished, more raw material. the epilogue is the most curious thing, the first part being Tolstoy's La Nouvelle Eloise, the second part a dissertation in the philosophy of history. The characters thread let's itself be seen throughout.
