The episode and episode descriptions will provide information, context and commentary on how each chapter plays out. The goal is for each episode to be under 10 minutes. There are multiple English versions of W&P containing variations in the translation of Tolstoy's French and Russian. The original work fluctuates back and forth between these two languages.
