War and Peace: War and Peace delineates in graphic detail events surrounding the French invasion of Russia, including the Battle of Austerlitz, Battle of Borodino, Fire of Moscow, and Napoleon's retreat etc., as seen through the eyes of four Russian aristocratic families, Andrei, Pierre and Natasha. Every of the 559 characters have his or her personality, love, joy, pain and hatred. It is a grander portray of the times. This vast work has the spirit of an epic that only Homer can match. (战争与和平：故事以1812年俄国卫国战争为中心，反映了1805年至1820年的重大事件，包括奥斯特利茨大战、波罗底诺会战、莫斯科大火、拿破仑溃退等。通过对四大家庭以及安德烈、皮埃尔、娜塔莎在战争与和平环境中的思想和行动的描写，展示了当时俄国社会的风貌。在《战争与和平》中，人物就多达559个，每一个都是活生生的血肉之躯，各有其独特的个性，且充满了生命的悸动，人的欢乐、痛苦、各种内心思绪——在这幅画里都应有尽有。而书中史诗般的辉煌节奏与宽阔视界，也只有荷马的作品可以相提并论。)
