Gottsberger, 1886.First edition in English of one of the monumental works of Russian literature. War and Peace is one of the great 19th-century novels in any language, and stands at the peak of the realist mode. Even Turgenev, whose quarrel with Tolstoy almost led to a duel, conceded that "nothing better has been written by anyone in Russia, and probably nothing so good has ever been written." Six volumes, octavo (156 x 106mm). Original pictorial burgundy cloth stamped in gilt and black (a little very shallow chipping to heads of spines, hint of wear at board tips). Slipcase.
