Hello readers, For those of you in the US, I hope you had a happy Thanksgiving! I read War and Peace with The Big Read last year and had a memorable experience reading the daily chapter and weekly email. I was in awe of Tolstoy’s ability to scale from intimate scenes between characters to epic battle scenes. Since I’m always thinking about how literature will translate to the screen, I wondered if an adaptation could possibly capture the magic of the novel.
The Soviet version is worth the time--so good.
