Excerpt from Through War to Peace It wasa beautiful night; the moon was full, and shed a soft, mellow light down from a cloudless sky, while not a breath of wind ruffled the gleaming surface of the rippling streams, or rustled the leaves of the surrounding forest, arrayed in all the brightness of a mid - summer's night, while in every direction thousands of camp-tires glared forth, throwing weird. Fantastic shadows against the thick foliage of the trees. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
