A unique special edition of Leo Tolstoy's War and Peace, beautifully illustrated with rare colour drawings.

Head of Zeus is issuing a unique edition of War and Peace, which will include over 300 colour and black-and-white illustrations.

The drawings, by artist Alexander P. Apsit, originally appeared in the commemorative Russian edition of the novel, published in 1912 to celebrate the 100 year anniversary of the Battle of Borodino.

These images will appear for the first time alongside the English translation by Louise Maude, which was the translation approved by Tolstoy himself.
