书籍简介
《战争与和平》是俄国作家列夫·尼古拉耶维奇·托尔斯泰创作的长篇小说，也是其代表作，创作于1863—1869年。
该作以1812年的卫国战争为中心，反映从1805到1820年间的重大历史事件。以鲍尔康斯、别祖霍夫、罗斯托夫和库拉金四大贵族的经历为主线，在战争与和平的交替描写中把众多的事件和人物串联起来。
作者将“战争”与“和平”的两种生活、两条线索交叉描写，构成一部百科全书式的壮阔史诗。 《战争与和平》的基本主题是肯定这次战争中俄国人民正义的抵抗行动，赞扬俄国人民在战争中表现出来的爱国热情和英雄主义。但作品的基调是宗教仁爱思想和人道主义，作家反对战争，对战争各方的受难并都给予了深切的同情。
"If life could write, it would write like Tolstoy." Isaac Babel
Tolstoy"s epic masterpiece intertwines the lives of private and public individuals during the time of the Napoleonic wars and the French invasion of Russia. The fortunes of the Rostovs and the Bolkonskys, of Pierre, Natasha, and Andrei, are intimately connected with the national history that is played out in parallel with their lives. Balls and soirées alternate with councils of war and the machinations of statesmen and generals, scenes of violent battles with everyday human passions in a work whose extraordinary imaginative power has never been surpassed. The prodigious cast of characters, both great and small, seem to act and move as if connected by threads of destiny as the novel relentlessly questions ideas of free will, fate, and providence. Yet Tolstoy"s portrayal of marital relations and scenes of domesticity is as truthful and poignant as the grand themes that underlie them.
In this revised and updated version of the definitive and highly acclaimed Maude translation, Tolstoy"s genius and the power of his prose are made newly available to the contemporary reader.

作者简介

托尔斯泰出生于贵族家庭，1844年入喀山大学，1847年退学回故乡在自己领地上作改革农奴制的尝试。1851～1854年在高加索军队中服役并开始写作。1854～1855年参加克里米亚战争。1855年11月到彼得堡进入文学界。 1857年托尔斯泰出国，看到资本主义社会重重矛盾，但找不到消灭社会罪恶的途径，只好呼吁人们按照“永恒的宗教真理”生活。1860～1861年，为考察欧洲教育，托尔斯泰再度出国，结识赫尔岑，听狄更斯演讲，会见普鲁东。1863～1869年托尔斯泰创作了长篇历史小说《战争与和平》。 1873～1877年他经12次修改，完成其第二部里程碑式巨著《安娜·卡列尼娜》。 70年代末，托尔斯泰的世界观发生巨变，写成《忏悔录》（1879一1882）。80年代创作：剧本《黑暗的势力》（1886）、《教育的果实》（1891），中篇小说《魔鬼》（1889）、《伊凡·伊里奇之死》1886）、《克莱采奏鸣曲》（1891）、《哈泽·穆拉特》（1886～1904）；短篇小说《舞会之后》（1903），特别是1889～1899年创作的长篇小说《复活》是他长期思想、艺术探索的总结。
托尔斯泰晚年力求过简朴的平民生活，1910年10月从家中出走，11月病逝于一个小站，享年82岁。
Count Leo Tolstoy was born in 1828 on the family estate of Yasnaya Polyana, in the Tula province, where he spent most of his early years, together with his several brothers. In 1844 he entered the University of Kazan to read Oriental Languages and later Law, but left before completing a degree. He spent the following years in a round of drinking, gambling and womanizing, until weary of his idle existence he joined an artillery regiment in the Caucasus in 1851.
He took part in the Crimean war and after the defence of Sevastopol wrote The Sevastopol Sketches (1855-6), which established his literary reputation. After leaving the army in 1856 Tolstoy spent some time mixing with the literati in St Petersburg before travelling abroad and then settling at Yasnaya Polyana, where he involved himself in the running of peasant schools and the emancipation of the serfs. His marriage to Sofya Andreyevna Behrs in 1862 marked the beginning of a period of contentment centred around family life; they had thirteen children. Tolstoy managed his vast estates, continued his educational projects, cared for his peasants and wrote both his great novels, War and Peace (1869) and Anna Karenina (1877).
During the 1870s he underwent a spiritual crisis, the moral and religious ideas that had always dogged him coming to the fore. A Confession (1879-82) marked an outward change in his life and works; he became an extreme rationalist and moralist, and in a series of pamphlets written after 1880 he rejected church and state, indicted the demands of flesh, and denounced private property. His teachings earned him numerous followers in Russia and abroad, and also led finally to his excommunication by the Russian Holy Synod in 1901. In 1910 at the age of eighty-two he fled from home "leaving this worldly life in order to live out my last days in peace and solitude"; dying some days later at the station master"s house at Astapovo.
