Leo Tolstoy · 2006
A historical novel following Russian families during the Napoleonic Wars.
Lex Fridman recommends it because it is a long book that captures the whole human experience.
A speaker recommends a book written by someone else.
“war and peace it's the one of the best novels written in russian i would argue i think both of those are because if you've only got one book you want a long book…”
Why: It is a long book that captures the whole human experience.
