Is it worth reading? I'm at the beginning and seems interesting so far, even if I'm more pro-Napoleon.

He owns Napoleon pretty hard at the end, but yes it is very much worth reading. It is a novel that is very frank about its philosophy, but you could skip all those sections and still understand the meaning of the novel. The story is entertaining, the writing is good (although this is a translation I presume), and it is one of those books that you almost live in while reading.

War and Peace is phenomenal, but for the love of God do not pick the P&V translation. I recommend the Maudes.

Yeah it's amazing. He tries to btfo napoleon but can't. The main plot and characters are god tier. Probably the best russian lit

My opinion of the book:

Hitler was infinitely stupid for wanting to exterminate a people that created a book this great

Pick P&V, it’s the best translation

It's a great book, but why is there a thread on it like everyday?
