People have eternally been mistaken and will be mistaken, and in nothing more than in what they consider right and wrong. It’s not given to people to judge what’s right or wrong. Fictional and historical characters blend naturally inside the narrative, which occasionally turns into a reasoned philosophical digression, exploring the way individual lives affect human progress. Who am I? What do I live for? What changed when I was born? These existential questions are about the meaning of life, and of free will as opposed to the effect of the outside world. Tolstoy groped in the direction of a one-of-a-kind fact – one that would capture the totality of history, and teach human beings how to live with their burdens. With no unifying theme, with no plot or clean ending, War and Peace is an encounter with the style of the radical and with the narrative in history.
There is no difference in separating Tolstoy’s artwork from his philosophy, just as there’s no way to separate fiction from discussions about history in this novel. The whole world is divided for me into two parts: one is she, and there is all happiness, hope, light the other is where she is not, and there is dejection and darkness…
However, Tolstoy’s depiction of conjugal relations and his scenes of family life are as honest and powerful as the extraordinary people who bring them to life. Tolstoy’s unforgettable characters appear to act and move as though brought together by strings of fate as the novel tenaciously explores choice, destiny, and fortune. The fortunes of the Rostovs and the Bolkonskys, of Pierre, Natasha, and Andrei, are personally associated with the national history that is played out in parallel with their lives. Tolstoy weaves together the lives of his characters against the backdrop of the Napoleonic wars and the French invasion of Russia. And that is the highest degree of human wisdom. Usually, Tolstoy is famous by Anna Karenina, but you will be surprised by how many genius books Leo Tolstoy wrote. Youth Time Magazine has prepared for you this time the list of Leo Tolstoy books that you need to read.
