I just finished A Man Called Ove by Fredrik Backman. I'm not sure if it would qualify as unheralded. A terrific read though. Briefly it's about a curmudgeonly older man interacting with and recoiling from society as it changed around him, and, indeed, became involved with him despite his best efforts. It was surprisingly enticing, regardless of my crappy description. That and I didn't want to give too much away. http://www.amazon.com/dp/1476738025/?tag=googhydr-20&hvadid=96686193989&hvpos=1t1&hvexid=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=9222740365729229205&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=b&hvdev=t&ref=pd_sl_75uptx860o_b
The Early 70's version of War & Peace with Anthony Hopkins was excellent...I remember watching that series as a kid with my family...really well put together. Boris & Natasha and Pierre came to life on the screen as if they were in our living room!
You should read Clive James's essay, which is free to read in the link that I gave. He talks about that and all the other film versions. It's a really good essay (not a review, it's a long form piece by someone who knows what he's talking about).
