War and Peace
I first fell in love with Tolstoy's War and Peace when I was sixteen. I actually won a copy as a prize for being top student at school for English. I proudly took my new prize on a family holiday to Wales and so A 3. it was on a remote and rugged costal path, I made my first acquaintance with Lev Tolstoy.

I had mixed feelings about the film and the result was that D 1. I ended up reading the novel a second time.

read in Russian. It is probably too late for me to learn and find out but perhaps
one day I'll learn.
