Question by AL: Did Lev Tolstoy call his work “War and peace” or “War and the world”?
I heared that he means the role of the war in our world, so he called “War and the world”. But it was translated not right.

War and peace The book has very little to do with the world. The book deal with Russian society during the Napoleonic Era.

It was "War and Peace" but he had originally cosidered titling it "War: What is it Good For?". It was in fact his mistress who insisted that he change the name. . .

Leo Tolstoy wrote "War and Peace". Have you read it?
Arbiter says
Tolstoy's book was always meant to be called War and Peace, the confusion comes from the fact the Russian words for 'peace' and 'world' are spelled and pronounced the same. Running both words through AltaVista's Babel fish gives back 'MNP'…which apparently is pronounced 'Mir', like the space station.
