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 Â鶹Éç television - and around the world - next month. And also to Alexander Kan, from the Â鶹Éç's Russian Service. (Photo: Napoleon's army from 1972 Â鶹Éç TV adaptation of War and Peace. Credit: Â鶹Éç)
