Balls and soirees, the burning of Moscow, the intrigues of statesmen and generals, scenes of violent battles, the quiet moments of everyday life - all in a work whose extraordinary imaginative power has never been surpassed. In this guide, Mandelker suggests ways of approaching this magnificent - but sometimes rather daunting - masterpiece of world literature for the first time. #OWCAudioGuides Genre OUP Contains tracks Approaching ‘War and Peace’: Are first time readers right to feel trepidation? by Oxford Academic (OUP) published on 2015-07-22T13:21:51Z Approaching ‘War and Peace’: Amy Mandelker describes her first encounter with the text by Oxford Academic (OUP) published on 2015-07-22T13:21:50Z Tolstoy and his Novel: Tolstoy’s life and career when he embarked on writing his masterpiece by Oxford Academic (OUP) published on 2015-07-22T13:21:49Z Tolstoy and his Novel: What was Tolstoy aiming to achieve, and what precedents were there? by Oxford Academic (OUP) published on 2015-07-22T13:21:49Z Tolstoy and his Novel: How does ‘War and Peace’ fit into Russian Literature? by Oxford Academic (OUP) published on 2015-07-22T13:21:48Z
