Its 1500 pages. My Kindle says I've read 75 pages so far. Its my 2nd reading.
After I read an article about translations I replaced my copy with the Penguin edition, and the translation is significantly better. The translator can get the words right or the meaning right. With the right meaning Tolstoy comes alive.
Every chapter is a scene, and every scene enacts a particular human intentional outcome. Each scene is a template astute writers can use in their efforts. Tolstoy's genius was capturing human social intercourse, exactly. War and Peace may be a marvelous how to write manual for how to package intentionality.
Intention is our hidden agenda or honest purpose.
