The masterpiece by Tolstoy War and Peace belongs to the texts that marked a milestone in world literature. With its penetrating writing and realistic dialogues, the author composes the gallery of the upper Russian society during the time of the Napoleonic wars.
The narrative is primarily structured around the lives of the Bolkonsky and Rostov families, intertwined with the activities of the young Count Pierre Bezukhov and their relatives. The reader follows the exciting development of the characters in the work, as it occurs against a backdrop of war, advances, retreats, and maneuvers that are presented as victories or defeats depending on the perspective.
Carefully woven around them is the composition of the main and secondary characters in the work, along with references to the events that marked the outcome of the French invasion of Russia, the burning of Moscow, and Napoleon's defeat.
However, the author goes beyond attributing these outcomes to the brilliant or unfortunate moves of the commander-in-chief Kutuzov and M. Napoleon. He exposes, sometimes with intense didacticism, the psyche of the peoples involved in the conflict, the roles that war allocates to the parties involved, and the sometimes hidden details that determine the outcome.
This magnificent historical novel reveals what changes history, how qualities like love and ambition operate within people, and how social classes, religious beliefs, wealth, law, and lawlessness influence events – that is, everything that determines the historical course in every era.
