Few novels not just capture the ethos of the times we live in, but go on to define how we look at things. Leo Tolstoy’s masterpiece War and Peace is one such book. Written by the author over six years, it was initially serialised by Russkiy Vestnik, a Russian periodical, in 1865. Owing to the tepid reaction, it was published in 1869.
