[PDF] War and Peace by Leo Tolstoy Book Review- Free Download

 I don't have a clue where in any case inspecting a book like War and Peace. Yet, with an end goal to consolidate my involvement in it into a solitary sentence, here we go: I didn't care for it. I needed to like it, I attempted to like it, I was truth be told certain I planned to like it, however in any event, giving this novel the apathetic three stars would be guileful. 

In the event that you made a Venn graph of things that interest me in a novel and things that interest Leo Tolstoy, there would be nothing the center. On my side at the first spot on the list you have: characters. On Tolstoy's side you have Russian history. 

Possibly it was guileless for me to expect less conflict in a book where War involves a large portion of the title, however my assumptions going into this were all off-base. I'd been comfortable with the melodic Natasha, Pierre, and the Great Comet of 1812, which was adjusted from the 70 page portion of War and Peace which centers around the issue among Natasha and Anatole Kuragin. Previously having some friendship for these characters, I dove into War and Peace with a rundown of inquiries that weren't evident to me from the melodic alone: What precisely was Helene's part in the issue? What were the conditions of Anatole's first marriage? Did Anatole at any point love Natasha, or would he say he was consistently out to utilize her? Lamentably, such subtleties ended up being unimportant altogether.

I've never entirely perused a novel like this, where the situation of the characters consistently appeared to be optional. Here is a rundown of things that stood out enough to be noticed than the fundamental characters: Napoleon, military methodology, Tolstoy's own philosophical thoughts, substantial analysis of the Great Man Theory… and if all that intrigues you, you will cherish War and Peace. However, as somebody who isn't so inspired by war, who needs something more quotidienne to drive a story than Big Philosophical Ideas, this wound up being a long trudge for me. 

I don't intend to infer that there's no person improvement at all in this 1,358-page behemoth. Pierre and Andrey strikingly battle with discovering their spot on the planet, each receiving various methods of reasoning at various focuses in their lives, continually endeavoring to be acceptable men. However, their own excursions weren't exactly enough to truly maneuver me into this story, particularly when I didn't discover both of them especially fascinating in any case. Characters who I discovered significantly more charming – Helene, Anatole, Natasha, Sonya – were just at any point paper dainty.

I think War and Peace additionally languished over the inadvertent differentiation with Victor Hugo's Les Misérables that I couldn't exactly escape my head. (This was the underlying explanation I was certain I planned to adore War and Peace – my solitary other involvement in a beast-length nineteenth-century novel brought about me tracking down my number one book ever.) I can't resist the urge to see these two books and their melodic partners as reversals of each other. Les Mis consolidates the substance of the novel into an over two-hour-long melodic, chopping it down to irrefutably the fundamental characters and occasions. And keeping in mind that it works effectively, perusing the book just enhances the experience and gives you a more full picture. Natasha, Pierre, and the Great Comet of 1812 extrapolates from a little segment of War and Peace – it takes characters who weren't very much evolved regardless and gives them new profundity and new life. 

In the event that I at any point read this again (which I don't expect to, at the same time, never say never!) it should be fully intent on encouraging my comprehension of the Napoleonic Wars. This, as I would see it, is the tallness of what War and Peace has to bring to the table. It's a fundamental content where military history is concerned. However, I needed to a greater degree a story. 

I'm happy I can say I've understood War and Peace… however the alleviation I felt at turning the last page isn't care for anything one should feel while perusing a much-cherished novel.
