War and Peace is a historical novel by Leo Tolstoy first published serially in 1865–69. It depicts relationships between the Rostov, Bolkonsky, Bezukhov, and Kuragin families and follows their members as they fight in a war against Napoleon, marry, make and lose fortunes, and die over the course of about a decade.
The chapter late in the novel asking if history is best understood in terms of the actions of Great Men of the sum whole of nations is very interesting. The book is full of memorable meditations that will stick with you for years.
