War and Peace (Russian: Война и мир, Voyna i mir; in original orthography: Война и миръ, Voyna i mir”) is an epic novel by Leo Tolstoy, first published from 1865 to 1869 in Russki Vestnik, which tells the story of Russian society during the Napoleonic Era. It is usually described as one of Tolstoy’s two major masterpieces (the other being Anna Karenina) as well as one of the world’s greatest novels.

War and Peace offered a new kind of fiction, with a great many characters caught up in a plot that covered nothing less than the grand subjects indicated by the title, combined with the equally large topics of youth, age and marriage. While today it is considered a novel, it broke so many novelistic conventions of its day that many critics of Tolstoy’s time did not consider it as such. Tolstoy himself considered Anna Karenina (1878) to be his first attempt at a novel in the European sense. (Summary by Wikipedia) (6 hr 9 min)

All other volunteer readers do a decent job, but this "WangHaojie" fellow sounds atrocious! He SHOUTS into the microphone, mispronounces, and he has not even bothered to edit his recording! Numerous phrases he has stumbled over repeatedly, the man doesn't have the decency to edit them out! Simply leaves all of them right there!! Intolerable! Please make sure that you reject all such sub-standard contributions! I strongly recommend leaving him out altogether. Please do not engage his services to narrate any more books. Thank you.

poor reading

(2 Sterne)

Very poor reading by one of the readers especially chapter 18, 19.. I think his name was WangHaojie and quoted as Jef.

Wang haji is just appalling. Does anyone vet these narrators? Best to skip his chapters as they are totally unintelligible.

(0,5 Sterne)

Wang haojii cannot read or speak English and some moron let him make two chapters unintelligible

(2,5 Sterne)

JohnWKEllis is a really bad narrator. Please vet these readers better, otherwise manageable.

(3 Sterne)

Chapters 18-19 need to be redone. I could hardly understand it.
