- War and Peace - Book 2 - Audiobook
War and Peace is a novel by the Russian author Leo Tolstoy. It is regarded as a central work of world literature and one of Tolstoy's finest literary achievements.
The novel chronicles the history of the French invasion of Russia and the impact of the Napoleonic era on Tsarist society through the stories of five Russian aristocratic families. Portions of an earlier version, titled The Year 1805, were serialized in The Russian Messenger from 1865 to 1867. The novel was first published in its entirety in 1869.
Tolstoy said War and Peace is "not a novel, even less is it a poem, and still less a historical chronicle". Large sections, especially the later chapters, are a philosophical discussion rather than narrative. Tolstoy also said that the best Russian literature does not conform to standards and hence hesitated to call War and Peace a novel. Instead, he regarded Anna Karenina as his first true novel. The Encyclopædia Britannica states: "It can be argued that no single English novel attains the universality of the Russian writer Leo Tolstoy's War and Peace".

Absolutely admire the reader. I have tried to read the book many times but kept stopping as it is too thick and some French, Russian names. Listening to this, I am challenging to overcome my difficulties
Artistry beyond compare. The genious of the author is complimented by the honest compassionate emotion of the narrator. Finest work I've ever experenced.
just 4k views?! this is the best video...creator has also taken the pain to place the bookmarks of all the chapter....one the best audiobook of war and peace...i'll definitely share it
Ah! Found it, thank you very much for posting this excellent version of W&P.!
Love the reader! Makes the book come to life. I am enjoying it so much, thank you
Reader is Alexander Scourby. He originally recorded the book for the organization for books on tape for the blind. Libraries would lend the special phonograph player and the records to the library patrons who were blind. Scourby, reading “War and Peace” caused many, MANY, people to act blind, get phony documents saying they were blind and flailing through libraries waving white sticks. They were hell bent on hearing this man read this book. And if they had to be blind to get it, blind they’d be! (Pretend, of course.)
I agree, it was worth anything to get. Perfect match: Scourby & Tolstoy.
Scourby was a New York actor. Some of his acting work is here on UA-cam. But he’s better as a reader. He’s a treasure.
So is his Bible
Great reader
Спасибо большое! All the timespams help a ton!
@Audiobook Bay Please fix the videos that are blocked! This is a really good reader, but most of the books I can't listen to. Many thanks.
Some of the characters seem to have speech impediments is that faithful to the source materials?
Of course the best speaker I could find has their first part taken down. Why would I possibly get lucky
How many books are there all together in this edition by Scourby?
