Newshour

Available for over a year

For four days, Russians are being treated to a live reading of Leo Tolstoy's epic novel 'War and Peace'. Over 1000 readers are taking part in the 60 hour marathon broadcast on Russian state TV and radio. We spoke to Faith Penhale, executive producer of the new 6 part adaptation of War & Peace, which will be shown on 91福利社 television - and around the world - next month. And also to Alexander Kan, from the 91福利社's Russian Service. (Photo: Napoleon's army from 1972 91福利社 TV adaptation of War and Peace. Credit: 91福利社)
