Often called the greatest novel ever written, War and Peace is at once an epic of the Napoleonic wars, a philosophical study, and a celebration of the Russian spirit. Tolstoy's genius is clearly seen in the multitude of characters in this massive chronicle, all of them fully realized and equally memorable.

I loved the narrator, but listen to the sample.

Any additional comments?
I thought Mr. Davidson's narration was superb--but he has a very distinctive voice and style, and I can see how it would rub some people the wrong way. I recommend listening to the sample before committing to this version, but it has my endorsement! War and Peace is a breathtaking story; I can't think of anything else quite like it. This reading commanded my rapt attention from beginning to end.

Historia4.5 out of 5 stars 13
When Thomas Jefferson wrote his epitaph, he listed as his accomplishments his authorship of the Declaration of Independence and the Virginia statute of religious freedom, and his founding of the University of Virginia. He did not mention his presidency or that he was second governor of the state of Virginia, in the most trying hours of the Revolution. Joseph Ellis, author of American Sphinx, focuses on other parts of Jefferson's life but wrote that his actions as governor "toughened him on the inside."

Terrible, incompetent narrator.

What would have made Flight from Monticello better?
The narrator was utterly incompetent. I can scarcely stand to listen to him. What a pity! It's a pretty good book, and it casts light on a neglected part of Jefferson's long public career.
What didn’t you like about Robert Feifar’s performance?
Robert Feifar is the worst audiobook narrator I have ever listened to. His phrasing and emphasis are like the narration to a (poor) children's program, he does ridiculous pseudo-English accents when a British person is quoted (I'm talking Dick Van Dyke in Mary Poppins here), and he mispronounces words ALL THE TIME. I think I am going to scream if he pronounces "militia" with four syllables one more time: "mill-ish-ee-a." Or "Gloucester" as "Glaw-kes-ter." Oh, he just said "detritus" with a short "i" in the middle. How charming. Does it occur to Robert Feifar that he might check a dictionary if he is unsure how to pronounce a word? He plainly has no concern for his craft, nor respect for his customers. If I were Michael Kranish, I would be furious at what this clown had done to my book.
What character would you cut from Flight from Monticello?
