War and Peace.
By COUNT TOLSTOY.
(Contains 1600 pages. Printed in very clear type.)
This is not only one of the finest, but probably one of the longest novels ever written, occupying, as it does in this edition, 1600 large and closely printed pages. Notwithstanding its vast length, its multitude of figures, the number of events it deals with, the interest of War and Peace is not only intense, but unbroken throughout the immense march of the story, so that no reader, great though the undertaking is, will fail to read to the end once he has started on the book. The eminent French critic, Vicomte E. M. de Vogüé, writing on War and Peace, says:
“As you advance in the book, curiosity changes into astonishment, and astonishment into admiration, before this impassive judge, who calls before his tribunal all human actions, and makes the soul render to itself an account of all its secrets. You feel yourself swept away on the current of a tranquil river, the depth of which you cannot fathom; it is life itself which is passing, agitating the hearts of men, which are suddenly made bare in the truth and complexity of their movements.”
