The story centers broadly
on Napoleon’s invasion of Russia in 1812 and follows three of the
best-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 behind his
family 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, the story-line vividly 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.
A story filled with drama, action and adventure.
