The masterpiece by Tolstoy War and Peace belongs to the texts that have marked a turning point in world literature. With its penetrating writing and realistic dialogues, the author composes the gallery of the higher 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, as well as their relatives. The reader follows the fascinating evolution of the characters in the work, as this unfolds against a backdrop of war, advances, retreats, and maneuvers presented as victories or defeats depending on the perspective.
Carefully woven around them is the composition of the main and secondary characters of the work, and references to the events that marked the outcome of the French invasion of Russia, the burning of Moscow, and the defeat of Napoleon are not lacking.
However, the author goes beyond merely attributing these results to the brilliant or unfortunate moves of the commander Kutuzov and Napoleon. He sometimes presents with intense didacticism the psychology of the peoples that clashed, the array of roles that war assigns to the parties involved, and the often unnoticed details that define the outcome.
This magnificent historical novel reveals what alters history, how qualities such as love and ambition operate in humans, and how social classes, religious beliefs, wealth, law, and lawlessness influence events - in other words, what determines the historical course in every era.
