One of the world's greatest novels, most people are intimidated by the length of the original novel, yet this audiobook recording makes it accessible to even the laziest reader. A huge, panoramic account of Russia at the time of Napoleon's invasion in 1812 and the lives of three aristocratic families who include the memorable Prince Andrei, Pierre and Natasha. This important novel covers all the big themes - love tragedy and, of course, war and peace. The abridgement has been sensitively and expertly handled so as to retain the majesty and power of the original.

The two stars isn't for the literature, it is for the product. Two stars because I want this to serve as an alert to help the reader find what he is looking for when is aiming him/her in unknown directions. sets up pages purporting to be a kindle product of the edition described on the page, which is not the case when it comes to these works with multiple translated editions out there. For instance, there is a "superior formatted" "Kindle Edition" version in Kindle Books of what is stated to be the Constance Garnett translation:http://www..com/War-and-Peace-ebook/dp/B003X4M9F4/ref=sr_1_1?s=digital-text&ie=UTF8&qid=1328585336&sr=1-1It is not Garnett. It is Maude.Because of these misrepresentations, it takes a lot of work to try to figure out if the version you want is even available, much less what is offered for download on that page. So to help you out, all I can suggest is to download the free sample and compare the first lines of the first two paragraphs to the following:First, there is a recent translation of a very different first draft of War and Peace.BROMFIELD (2007)first paragraph:"Eh bien, mon prince, so Genoa and Lucca are now merely estates, the private estates of the Buonaparte family."second paragraph"These were the words with which, in July 1805, the renowned Anna..."----------------PEVEAR AND VOLOKHONSKY (2007):first paragraph:"Eh bien, mon prince, Genes and Lucques ne sont plus que des apanages, des estates, de la famille Buonaparte.
