商品描述
Antony's Brigg's acclaimed translation of Tolstoy's great Russian epic. Nominated as one of America's best-loved novels by PBS's The Great American Read Set against the sweeping panoply of Napoleon's invasion of Russia, War and Peace--presented here in the first new English translation in forty years--is often considered the greatest novel ever written. At its center are Pierre Bezukhov, searching for meaning in his life; cynical Prince Andrei, ennobled by wartime suffering; and Natasha Rostov, whose impulsiveness threatens to destroy her happiness. As Tolstoy follows the changing fortunes of his characters, he crafts a view of humanity that is both epic and intimate and that continues to define fiction at its most resplendent. This edition includes an introduction, note on the translation, cast of characters, maps, notes on the major battles depicted, and chapter summaries. Praise for Antony Brigg's translation of War and Peace
"The best translation so far of Tolstoy's masterpiece into English."
-Robert A. Maguire, professor emeritus of Russian studies, Columbia University "In Tolstoy's work part of the translator's difficulty lies in conveying not only the simplicity but the subtlety of the book's scale and effect. . . . Briggs has rendered both with a particular exactness and a vigorous precision not to be found, I think, in any previous translation."

商品描述(中文翻譯)
安東尼·布里格斯（Antony Briggs）譯本，榮獲讚譽的托爾斯泰（Tolstoy）偉大俄羅斯史詩。被PBS的The Great American Read提名為美國最受喜愛的小說之一
故事背景設置在拿破崙入侵俄國的壯闊場景中，戰爭與和平——這是四十年來首個全新的英文譯本——常被認為是有史以來最偉大的小說。故事的中心是皮埃爾·別祖霍夫（Pierre Bezukhov），他在尋找生命的意義；冷嘲熱諷的安德烈王子（Prince Andrei），因戰爭的苦難而被提升；以及娜塔莎·羅斯托夫（Natasha Rostov），她的衝動性威脅著她的幸福。隨著托爾斯泰追隨角色們命運的變化，他塑造了一種既史詩般又親密的人性觀，這種觀點持續定義著最輝煌的虛構作品。 本版包括導言、翻譯說明、角色名單、地圖、主要戰役的註解以及章節摘要。 對安東尼·布里格斯的戰爭與和平譯本的讚譽'迄今為止，托爾斯泰傑作的最佳英文翻譯。'
-羅伯特·A·馬奎爾（Robert A. Maguire），哥倫比亞大學俄羅斯研究榮譽教授 '在托爾斯泰的作品中，翻譯者的困難部分在於不僅要傳達書籍的簡單性，還要表達其微妙的規模和效果……布里格斯以特別的精確性和生動的準確性呈現了這兩者，我認為在任何先前的翻譯中都無法找到。'

作者簡介
Count Leo Tolstoy was born on September 9, 1828, in Yasnaya Polyana, Russia. Orphaned at nine, he was brought up by an elderly aunt and educated by French tutors until he matriculated at Kazan University in 1844. In 1847, he gave up his studies and, after several aimless years, volunteered for military duty in the army, serving as a junior officer in the Crimean War before retiring in 1857. In 1862, Tolstoy married Sophie Behrs, a marriage that was to become, for him, bitterly unhappy. His diary, started in 1847, was used for self-study and self-criticism; it served as the source from which he drew much of the material that appeared not only in his great novels War and Peace (1869) and Anna Karenina(1877), but also in his shorter works. Seeking religious justification for his life, Tolstoy evolved a new Christianity based upon his own interpretation of the Gospels. Yasnaya Polyana became a mecca for his many converts. At the age of eighty-two, while away from home, the writer suffered a break down in his health in Astapovo, Riazan, and he died there on November 20, 1910. Anthony Briggs has written, translated, or edited twenty books in the fields of Russian and English literature. Orlando Figes is the prizewinning author of A People's Tragedy and Natasha's Dance. He is a regular contributor to The New York Times, The Washington Post, and The New York Review of Books.
作者簡介(中文翻譯)
列夫·托爾斯泰於1828年9月9日出生在俄羅斯的雅斯納亞·波利亞納。九歲時成為孤兒，由一位年長的姑姑撫養，並由法國家教教育，直到1844年考入喀山大學。1847年，他放棄學業，經過幾年無所事事的生活後，志願參軍，擔任克里米亞戰爭中的初級軍官，並於1857年退役。1862年，托爾斯泰與索非亞·貝爾斯結婚，這段婚姻對他來說變得非常不幸。他於1847年開始的日記用於自我學習和自我批評，成為他創作的主要來源，這些作品不僅出現在他的偉大小說《戰爭與和平》（1869）和《安娜·卡列尼娜》（1877）中，也出現在他的短篇作品中。為了尋求生活的宗教正當性，托爾斯泰發展出一種基於他自己對福音書解釋的新基督教。雅斯納亞·波利亞納成為他眾多信徒的聖地。在82歲時，托爾斯泰在外出時於里亞贊的阿斯塔波沃健康狀況惡化，並於1910年11月20日去世。
安東尼·布里格斯在俄羅斯和英國文學領域撰寫、翻譯或編輯了二十本書。奧蘭多·費吉斯是獲獎作品《人民的悲劇》和《娜塔莎的舞蹈》的作者。他是紐約時報、華盛頓郵報和紐約書評的定期撰稿人。
