Leo Tolstoy

Paperback – 30 apr 2013

The perspective of the writer Leo Tolstoy on the reality of death. Death of Ivan Ilyich. Discussions on a major event such as death happen only in the larger world of great experiences and imagination. But when death comes unexpectedly, no philosophy comes to provide relief to him. Doubts about death end only with death itself, and only when life is lived to the full, will a meaningful insight develop, so teaches Tolstoy.

Notă biografică

The novel is set 60 years before Tolstoy's day, but he had spoken with people who lived through the 1812 French invasion of Russia. He read all the standard histories available in Russian and French about the Napoleonic Wars and had read letters, journals, autobiographies and biographies of Napoleon and other key players of that era. There are approximately 160 real persons named or referred to in War and Peace. He worked from primary source materials (interviews and other documents), as well as from history books, philosophy texts and other historical novels. Tolstoy also used a great deal of his own experience in the Crimean War to bring vivid detail and first-hand accounts of how the Russian army was structured. Tolstoy was critical of standard history, especially military history, in War and Peace. He explains at the start of the novel's third volume his own views on how history ought to be written. His aim was to blur the line between fiction and history, to get closer to the truth, as he states in Volume ii.
