《战争与和平》是文学巨匠，俄国作家列夫·尼古拉耶维奇·托尔斯泰创作的长篇小说，创作于1863—1869年。本书为英文版，英语爱好者不可错过。该作属于世界十大名著之一，以1812年的卫国战争为中心，以鲍尔康斯、别祖霍夫等贵族的经历为主线，在战争与和平的交替描写中，把众多的事件和人物串联起来。作品歌颂和平，同时又描写战争，反映了人民保卫自己祖国土地不受敌人凌辱的英勇精神。俄国人民在强敌的残酷掠夺下毫不气馁，以正义的战争去制止非正义的战争，争取和平生活。作为19世纪俄国现实主义文学成就之高峰的俄国小说，本书具有全人类性。就内容而言，它不仅是一首宏伟的俄国贵族的“英雄田园诗”，同时它也在抒写整个人类的爱与恨，生与死，战与和；就形式而言，它综合性地继承了之前欧洲小说的丰厚传统，将长篇史诗这一艺术体裁发展到极致。在整个俄国文学的发展历史中，《战争与和平》是第一部具有全欧洲意义的小说。俄国文学史家米尔斯基曾说：“这部作品同等程度地既属于俄国也属于欧洲，这在俄国文学中独一无二。”作品影响深远，曾被改编为同名影视剧。书中除了战役，就是家庭生活中的日常事件：亲人之间的谈话、节日庆祝活动、跳舞、玩牌、狩猎、离别和重逢等。这些普通的事件在托尔斯泰的笔下，显示出特有的叙述性力量，直到今天仍是世界知名的文学经典。

Often called the greatest novel ever written, War and Peace is at once an epic of the Napoleonic Wars, a philosophical study, and a celebration of the Russian spirit. Tolstoy's genius is seen clearly in the multitude of characters in this massive chronicle—all of them fully realized and equally memorable.While it expresses Tolstoy's view that history is an inexorable process which man cannot influence, he peoples his great novel with a cast of over five hundred characters.Out of this complex narrative emerges a profound examination of the individual's place in the historical process, one that makes it clear why Thomas Mann praised Tolstoy for his Homeric powers and placed War and Peace in the same category as the Iliad: "To read him … is to find one's way home … to everything within us that is fundamental and sane." Epic in scale, War and Peace delineates in graphic detail events leading up to Napoleon's invasion of Russia, and the impact of the Napoleonic era on Tsarist society, as seen through the eyes of five Russian aristocratic families.

War and Peace is considered one of the world's greatest works of fiction. It is regarded, along with Anna Karenina, as Tolstoy's finest literary achievement. It is a vast epic centred on Napoleon's war with Russia.
