Leo Tolstoy's War and Peace is considered by many to be the greatest novel ever written. The novel is about five Russian aristocratic families during Napoleon's invasion of Russia, culminating at the Battle of Borodino. This beautiful three-volume hardcover edition is as visually appealing as the story itself, wrapped in custom jackets featuring Louis Lejeune's painting, Battle of Borodino. The books include silk reading ribbons, cloth bindings, and acid-free, natural cream-colored paper.
