Page Turners: War and Peace [B1P2C18]

A slow read of Leo Tolstoy's Masterpiece. Join me!

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 Two, Chapter 18

Everywhere, men are perishing and suffering injuries and fatalities. Bagration commands the regiment to regroup and move forward towards the enemy. Andrei observes the procession closely, observing the countenances on both sides with precision. Bullets whiz by, claiming more lives.

Note: Most episodes will be published to Web-only, which means these will not be sent out by email. You can always use the RSS feed to get new episodes when they go live, of course.

About the French and German: All French and German parts are kept and read in French and German to fully retain the "original" experience. This edition (Maude) includes translations in English on the same page, which are not part of the audio.

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.

Page Turners
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.
