War and Peace is a novel by Leo Tolstoy that is widely considered to be the greatest literary work of all time. This is largely because it is so long that by time the reader finally reaches the end he has typically forgotten how boring it actually was. Tolstoy himself, somewhat enigmatically, said of War and Peace that it was "not a novel, even less is it a poem, and still less a historical chronicle." He went on to elaborate that the best Russian literature does not conform to standard norms. Neither, sadly, does War and Peace.
