", Senza risposte per lui e che rendono la vita" impossibile ".Tolstoj parla della sua infanzia, del suo abbandono della sua fede ortodossa russa, della sua padronanza della forza, della sua volontà di potenza e di come, dopo aver raggiunto il successo finanziario e un considerevole status sociale, la sua vita non avesse più alcun significato.Dopo aver disperato i suoi tentativi di trovare risposte nella scienza, nella filosofia, nella saggezza orientale e nei suoi colleghi scrittori, "confessa" di aver trovato la risposta al suo dolore nelle profonde convinzioni religiose ortodosse dei cittadini comuni . Descrive come ha presentato il suo scetticismo razionale e l''orrore della "superstizione delle verità cristiane" al fine di ottenere la pace mentale di cui aveva bisogno per rendere possibile la sua "sopravvivenza".Il termine "confessione" è stato usato perché Tolstoy era ben consapevole di essere contrario ai pregiudizi anti-religiosi / atei che dominavano gran parte dell''élite laica russa ed europea (di default a causa delle carenze dell''ortodossia ).

Acclaimed by many as the world''s greatest novel, Anna Karenina provides a vast panorama of contemporary life in Russia and of humanity in general. In it Tolstoy uses his intense imaginative insight to create some of the most memorable characters in all of literature. Anna is a sophisticated woman who abandons her empty existence as the wife of Karenin and turns to Count Vronsky to fulfil her passionate nature - with tragic consequences. Levin is a reflection of Tolstoy himself, often expressing the author''s own views and convictions.Throughout, Tolstoy points no moral, merely inviting us not to judge but to watch. As Rosemary Edmonds comments, ''He leaves the shifting patterns of the kaleidoscope to bring home the meaning of the brooding words following the title, ''Vengeance is mine, and I will repay.

In Russia''s struggle with Napoleon, Tolstoy saw a tragedy that involved all mankind. Greater than a historical chronicle, War and Peace is an affirmation of life itself, `a complete picture'', as a contemporary reviewer put it, `of everything in which people find their happiness and greatness, their grief and humiliation''. Tolstoy gave his personal approval to this translation, published here in a new single volume edition, which includes an introduction by Henry Gifford, and Tolstoy''s important essay `Some Words about War and Peace''.
