10 Best: Leo Tolstoy
  • War and Peace by Leo Tolstoy
    Tolstoy’s 1869 novel - often described as the greatest ever - chronicles the effects of the Napoleonic wars on five aristocratic Russian families. Deploying the technique of literary realism that he helped develop, Tolstoy magnificently evokes the sense of an entire social world.

    The 2009 Booker winner is the first in a series of novels (the second, Bring Up the Bodies, has just been published) presenting the life of Tudor statesman Thomas Cromwell.

Mantel’s Cromwell emerges as a force for progress at a time when, arguably, a recognisably modern British identity was established
