Novel, ranked w/War and Peace, as outstanding work from Count Lev Nikolayevich Tolstoy(1828 - 1910). First serialized (1873 - 1877) in The Russian Messenger & published in book form 1878. Set against realistic backdrop of rapid, liberal socio-eco-political transformations in Russian under Tsar Alexander II of The 1861 Emancipation which initiated judicial & military reforms, elected local governments (Zemstvo), developmental changes in railroads, banks, industry, telegraph,leading to rise of new business elites & decline of ld landed aristocracy, a freer press, awakening of public opinion, the Pan-Slavism movement, and military conflict with the Ottoman Empire in 1876 --- an age of overwhelming change which is hotly debated by the characters in the novel.
