Действие книги начинается летом 1805 г. в Петербурге. На вечере у фрейлины Шерер присут­ствуют среди прочих гостей Пьер Безухов, незаконный сын богатого вельможи, и князь Андрей Болконский. Разговор заходит о Наполеоне, и оба друга пытаются защитить великого человека от осуждений хозяйки вечера и её гостей. Князь Андрей собирается на войну, потому что мечтает о славе, равной славе Наполеона, а Пьер не знает, чем ему заняться, участвует в кутежах петер­бургской молодёжи (здесь особое место занимает Федор Долохов, бедный, но чрезвычайно волевой и решительный офицер); за очередное озорство Пьер выслан из столицы, а Долохов разжалован в солдаты.
Далее автор переносит нас в Москву, в дом графа Ростова, доброго, хлебосольного помещика, устра­ивающего обед в честь именин жены и младшей дочери. Особый семейный уклад объединяет роди­телей Ростовых и детей — Николая (он собирается на войну с Наполеоном), Наташу, Петю и Соню (бедную родственницу Ростовых); чужой кажется только старшая дочь — Вера.

Lev Nikolayevich Tolstoy (Russian: Лев Николаевич Толстой; most appropriately used Liev Tolstoy; commonly Leo Tolstoy in Anglophone countries) was a Russian writer who primarily wrote novels and short stories. Later in life, he also wrote plays and essays. His two most famous works, the novels War and Peace and Anna Karenina, are acknowledged as two of the greatest novels of all time and a pinnacle of realist fiction. Many consider Tolstoy to have been one of the world's greatest novelists. Tolstoy is equally known for his complicated and paradoxical persona and for his extreme moralistic and ascetic views, which he adopted after a moral crisis and spiritual awakening in the 1870s, after which he also became noted as a moral thinker and social reformer.

His literal interpretation of the ethical teachings of Jesus, centering on the Sermon on the Mount, caused him in later life to become a fervent Christian anarchist and anarcho-pacifist. His ideas on nonviolent resistance, expressed in such works as The Kingdom of God Is Within You, were to have a profound impact on such pivotal twentieth-century figures as Mohandas Gandhi and Martin Luther King, Jr.
