Explore the timeless classics of the Western Canon! We will journey through history's most influential texts, continuing with Tolstoy's War and Peace. Despite its reputation, the novel is highly approachable: each chapter, often a single scene, is typically 3-5 pages. Our pace is two chapters per day, or about 50 pages per week. Please purchase the Anthony Briggs translation, ISBN 978-0140447934, and read Chapters 1–14 for the first class on Sept. 14th.
