Obra cumbre de Lev Tolstói (junto a ) y de la narrativa del XIX, constituye un vasto fresco histórico y épico. Con la campaña napoleónica -Austerlitz, Borodinó o el incendio de Moscú- como trasfondo, se narra la historia de dos familias de la nobleza rusa, los Bolkonski y los Rostov, protagonistas de un mundo que empieza a escenificar su propia desaparición. Hasta hace pocos años, todas las traducciones de se basaban en la edición canónica de 1873. Sin embargo, en 1983, la Academia Soviética de Ciencias publicó lo que ellos llamaron la «edición original», es decir, la primera versión que Tolstói escribió en 1866. Es la espléndida traducción de ese manuscrito original, de la mano de Gala Arias Rubio, la que publicamos en este volumen. War and Peace broadly focuses on Napoleon's invasion of Russia in 1812 and follows three of the most well-known characters in literature: Pierre Bezukhov, the illegitimate son of a count who is fighting for his inheritance and yearning for spiritual fulfillment; Prince Andrei Bolkonsky, who leaves his family behind to fight in the war against Napoleon; and Natasha Rostov, the beautiful young daughter of a nobleman who intrigues both men. As Napoleon's army invades, Tolstoy brilliantly follows characters from diverse backgrounds—peasants and nobility, civilians and soldiers—as they struggle with the problems unique to their era, their history, and their culture. And as the novel progresses, these characters transcend their specificity, becoming some of the most moving—and human—figures in world literature.
