in many English speaking parts of the world, “war and peace” is slang for something that you’ll never get to the end of it.

I read the original version of Les Misérables, two thick volumes of more than anyone would ever want to know about the French Revolution.
Les Misérables, covers the time period 1815 to 1832.
Not what everyone thinks of as the French Revolution (5 May 1789 to 9 November 1799 - 10 years, 6 months and 4 days). Les Misérables, ends in 1832 - with the June Paris Rebellion. A minor dust up in comparison! Originally it was broken up into 5 volumes.
