Transcript

Welcome to my first read of Leo Tolstoy's War and Peace.

If you missed any of the previous chapters, please find them all linked here on the Page Turners podcast page.

Book One, Part One, Chapter 5

The guests leave, and Prince Ippolit behaves inappropriately with the young princess. Subsequently, Pierre visits Andrei's place, where they discuss Pierre's career aspirations and the impending war.

If you want to read along, I’m using the Oxford World’s Classics edition (translated by Louise and Aylmer Maude, edited by Amy Mandelker).

You can also listen to this read-through on my YouTube Channel or via the Page Turners RSS feed using your favourite podcast app.

Welcome to Page Turners!

Here I narrate classic books, all those must-read books, the greatest works of all time, I will be reading them, book by book, page by page, chapter by chapter.

Grab your headphones, and let's (re)discover all those classics together. I have spent over a decade on stage, performing in a variety of plays from Ayckbourn to Shakespeare, dramas, comedies, and musicals. With that experience, I will bring each narration to life with a rich tapestry of characters for you to enjoy.

For more stories check out my Substack TALES FROM THE DEFRAG where I publish speculative fiction.
