Tolstoï et les Doukhobors

In Russia's struggle with Napoleon, Tolstoy saw a tragedy that involved all mankind. 

War and Peace broadly focuses on Napoleon's invasion of Russia in 1812 and follows three of the most well-known characters in literature: Pierre Bezukhov, the illegitimate son of a count who is fighting for his inheritance and yearning for spiritual fulfillment; Prince Andrei Bolkonsky, who leaves his family behind to fight in the war against Napoleon; and Natasha Rostov, the beautiful young daughter of a nobleman who intrigues both men.

As Napoleon's army invades, Tolstoy brilliantly follows characters from diverse backgrounds-peasants and nobility, civilians and soldiers-as they struggle with the problems unique to their era, their history, and their culture. And as the novel progresses, these characters transcend their specificity, becoming some of the most moving-and human-figures in world literature.

Pour les Enfants: Première Traduction Française (Classic Reprint)

Widely considered a pinnacle in realist fiction, Tolstoy considered Anna Karenina his first real novel and Dostoevsky declared it to be "flawless as a work of art". His opinion was shared by Vladimir Nabokov, who especially admired "the flawless magic of Tolstoy's style", and by William Faulkner, who described the novel as "the best ever written". The novel is currently enjoying enormous popularity, as demonstrated by a recent poll of 125 contemporary authors by J. Peder Zane, published in 2007 in The Top Ten, which declared that Anna Karenina is the "greatest novel ever written".
Plot: A bachelor, Vronsky is willing to marry her if she would agree to leave her husband Karenin, a government official, but she is vulnerable to the pressures of Russian social norms, her own insecurities and Karenin's indecision. Although Vronsky eventually takes Anna to Europe where they can be together, they have trouble making friends. Back in Russia, she is shunned, becoming further isolated and anxious, while Vronsky pursues his social life. Despite Vronsky's reassurances she grows increasingly possessive and paranoid about his imagined infidelity.
About the Maude translation: the translation by Aylmer Maude (1858-1938) and Louise Shanks Maude (1855-1939) is highly considered by scholars. This unabridged and annotated translation from the original russian by Louise and Aylmer Maude was originally published in 1918. The Maudes are classical translators of Leo Tolstoy who worked directly with the author and gained his personal endorsement.

Anna Karenina (Maude Translation, Unabridged and Annotated)

Les Karenine continuerent a vivre sous le meme toit, a se rencontrer chaque jour, et a rester completement etrangers l'un a l'autre. Alexis Alexandrovitch se faisait un devoir d'eviter les commentaires des domestiques en se montrant avec sa femme, mais il dinait rarement chez lui. Wronsky ne paraissait jamais: Anna le rencontrait au dehors, et son mari le savait. Tous les trois souffraient d'une situation qui eut ete intolerable si chacun d'eux ne l'avait jugee transitoire. Alexis Alexandrovitch s'attendait a voir cette belle passion prendre fin, comme toute chose en ce monde, avant que son honneur fut ostensiblement entache; Anna, la cause de tout le mal, et sur qui les consequences en pesaient le plus cruellement, n'acceptait sa position que dans la conviction d'un denouement prochain. Quant a Wronsky, il avait fini par croire comme elle."
