I gave it 100 pages about fifteen years back. God speed.

Translations make all the difference. I found the Penguin Classic version to be better than ones I compared it to.

Also, you would enjoy the second part of the epilogue, which expresses Tolstoy's thoughts on history in general.

This one? [War and Peace (Penguin Classics, Deluxe Edition)](https://www.amazon.com/dp/0143039997/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_3dwKybE8E3XHE)

Edit: also a bugski for my link not working?

I think so.

It will probably work when you put a space between Edition) and ](.

I found 100 pages of the Penguin Classics version to be tax tables with synonyms.

I'm with Heinlein. Fuck russian literature.
