War and Peace (Russian: Война и мир, Voyna i mir; in original orthography: Война и миръ, Voyna i mir”) is an epic novel by Leo Tolstoy, first published from 1865 to 1869 in Russki Vestnik, which tells the story of Russian society during the Napoleonic Era. It is usually described as one of Tolstoy’s two major masterpieces (the other being Anna Karenina) as well as one of the world’s greatest novels.

War and Peace offered a new kind of fiction, with a great many characters caught up in a plot that covered nothing less than the grand subjects indicated by the title, combined with the equally large topics of youth, age and marriage. While today it is considered a novel, it broke so many novelistic conventions of its day that many critics of Tolstoy’s time did not consider it as such. Tolstoy himself considered Anna Karenina (1878) to be his first attempt at a novel in the European sense. (Summary by Wikipedia) (7 hr 29 min)

Reseñas


(2 stars)

With a few exceptions the readers were terrible.

chapter 25 is very difficult to understand.


(4.5 stars)

wide range of narration skills


(2 stars)

I appreciate all the readers. I admit that I may be more distracted by accents, pauses, and indistinct pronunciation than other listeners. I am following along in the Maude translation. I listened to the first 8 books in the solo reading by Maryann of the dole translation, which was exceptional. since she stopped there, I moved to the collaborative readings of book 9, which were also great. I could only listen to 8 of the 39 chapters of this, book 10, reading all the other chapters without audio. I found Ernst, Phipippa, James and marcy ranging from good to excellent. the other narrators made the reading, for me, more difficult than just reading without narration.

Five readers alternate through the chapters, and they have different accents. One sounds Russian, one Asian, one from Nova Scotia, and two from United States. All are understandable, but names are pronounced differently, sometimes making it difficult to follow the story.
