The first episode of War and Pace will be screened tomorrow in the UK. It took two and a half years to make and a sizable chunk of our TV licence fee too. Someone once said Tolstoy’s epic was impossible to be put on the screen. It’s been tried of course, quite a few times with very mixed results and I’m trying to be kind. Below is the trailer. https://youtu.be/H-BCmUeHE5c

Thanks Cari. I remember reading it many many years ago. Not only a very long book but a physically large one too! Looks like you are in for a treat!

I never attempted War and Peace but I loved Anna Karenina. I saw the movie first with Christopher Reeves (I think?) and that made me buy the book.
Yes, Christopher Reeve. Had to go Google it. He caught and kept my interest in the movie.

I read it over a summer in the days before TV. When school was out I loved to read and be out doors! No cell phones or other electronic distractions! Those were the days!
