I love how you captured what it's like to finish a long book you've been reading for a while - it's one thing to devour a book quickly, but it's quite another to have lived with one for months at a time and find that when your time with it is done, you can't imagine waking up the next morning and having no more of that story left to read. This is why I still try to read long books from time to time, even if my attention span is short these days. I like to live with a book.

so, in Russia we read War and Peace in the 10th grade (which is kinda insane because we're just kids), and obviously nobody has even read past the first book (but i've read all the four books on my summer holidays so i was pretty invested!)... all i want to say is i am very sad that my school's program was fast and nobody has appreciated this masterpiece... but honestly the second epilog was pretty boring for me because of the repetition that you've talked about in this video. also there is a "tradition" between the russian students to skip all of the war parts, and literally generations of russians did this :D which is funny to think about. alsoooo i deeply recommend you to read "Crime and Punishment" by Fyodor Dostoevsky (not sure how his name is written in English) and "Fathers and Sons" by Ivan Turgenev because these are my favourite books from the Russian classical literature!

One of my favorites of his stories, Master and Man, is about two men from vastly different backgrounds who get lost in the snow (one survives, one doesn't) and their last thoughts as they lie dying. I wonder if Tolstoy got to have one of these moments as he died as well....

And no one knew the appalling weight of the thing they were carrying inside. The superhuman effort it took sometimes to be normal, and a part of things that appeared both easy and everyday. The loneliness of that. Moved and humbled, he passed his paper napkin"

Emmie, enjoyed your War & Peace series. I really like how you were able to visually convey the experience of reading which is such an internal act. I have a recommendation for anyone who is thinking about reading War and Peace. Before I reading it, I did a lot of research into the different translations and finally settled on the Antony Briggs version. This is the edition published by Penguin books as one of their Clothbound Classics editions. It has the dark blue cover with with a comet pattern. The Briggs translation is not considered the most authoritative, but it is the most readable version in my opinion. I read War and Peace on the bus to work everyday (this was pre-COVID) and it took me a couple months to finish. Don't be intimidated by War and Peace, its not a difficult read, just long. I recently read A Tale of Two Cities by Charles Dickens and found Dickens' dense prose a slog compared to Tolstoy's writing style.
@mashakarpenkomex3 жыл бұрын
Hello from Russia😊Recently discovered your channel and I can comment tiny bit on the book because of course it's one of the main we study in Russia and it's obligatory to read it at school)) Haha we have jokes about the french parts that are maybe not so necessary but it goes with the time of course. Considering the historical part, yes, it's supposed to be the novel based on facts and supposedly it describes the events as they were but here what Russians think is very controversial. Usually critics agree that Tolstoy made sth similar to the encyclopedia of life (Russian aristocracy of the nineteenth century) but the war with Napoleon, the actual participants think, wasn't represented with such accuracy and is more tainted with Tolstoy's own views on the matter. Personally I like Mariya the most haha because she was so both clumsy and seemingly not beautiful but her eyes were full of light and that's why Nikolai got attracted to her so much. Natasha is a very interesting character with her liveliness and desire to live fully, she's very compassionate but goodness me I didn't like the ending. For Tolstoy yes it was a proper ending for a woman, she's fulfilling her true purpose but i remember when I've read it in high school i felt almost insulted)) Tolstoy is a very controversial writer for me and honestly i feel pity that so many of other Russian writes are left behind and without attention and the world practically knows only Tolstoy and Dostoevsky. Bulgakov too. Thank you for the review, it was interesting to see other people's point of view, especially, not Russian) Ah i forgot to add, i think the book represents our Russian mentality a lot. Getting changed and supposedly better through suffering is very mm essential from our point of view. As if we're who we are only through such life changing experiences as the ones Andrey and his best friend went through. I agree. But sometimes i think we, Russians, pay too much attention to suffering and forget how to be happy))

I think that's only the second time I've ever cried reading a book. It was so sudden and horrific, I didn't actually understand what had happened for a minute. And Denisov's reaction was gut-wrenching too. I must say I found the second epilogue quite boring -- I felt like I got the point early on and that Tolstoy was wasting words repeating it. But this book is going to live with me for a long time.

Second Epilogue was great. While he repeated much of what he had already interjected throughout the second half of the text with, it got much more to the point, more thorough, and there were some meditations on free will which were very valuable, and not very expected What wasn't great was the first part of the Epilogue, aka the continuation of the story. The only aching question of the story left was which wife did Nikolai choose? Everything else didn't matter anymore, it felt like a story that didn't know it was over and so kept continuing. But Tolstoy's interjections continued to feel meaningful

@PiraticalMaid-of-All-Work Жыл бұрын
Sorry if this is long, but I just finished War and Peace in August, and am watching the Soviet series currently. This was very addicting to listen to--dominated my priority list, in fact 😅 War and Peace has a place in my heart with how original and wonderful it is, the plot, the characters...right from the start, too! Pierre is a great example for this; to me, he's very true to life in that he struggled to figure out what to do and lived in this bubble where he didn't understand. No one appreciated him except Andrey, ironically. Andrey wasn't perfect but I understood his resentment, and his wanting something better. This is of course them at the beginning of their journey. And really, with all the changes they undergo, they often stay rather consistent: Pierre, once he got his answers to life, found peace; it's really what he wanted. Even Natasha, one of the most constantly shifting characters, had her tendencies she more strongly develops later on in life: she was already very possessive (not the best word, but it'll do) of Andrey and didn't want much separation at all. She had a lot of love that she did want to pour into someone. As an aside, while I do love all of them, I was definitely an Andrey fan. Pierre was already bestie level for me but Andrey was the little plant I just kept rooting to grow :D I think the only thing that I might not like was the repetition (yes, I liked the war!). Never know, one day I may have a different opinion on it. Also, if you'd like any audiobook rec, I *thoroughly* enjoyed Scourby. I don't like emotion being forced on me as a reader (manufactured, if you will), and he avoids subjecting me to that. If anything, at times I was thinking "well he should've read it this way"--but eventually the more I listened the more emotions I discovered he had, so many nuances...(In a genuine way)....and in general he has a perfect narrator voice. As for the parts that weren't terribly emotional it became like reading a book with a friend. And, most importantly (besides his capturing true emotions so well) he could read such important parts of the book in the most profound way ever. It's so good. Anyway watching your videos made me relive War and Peace which was wonderful. Felt the story beats with you, had a similar reaction to some passages (think Andrey), and....yeah. I'm almost done the Soviet adaption and for book to movie adaptions, it's kinda insane. Not only does it have impressive shots for the 60's, a giant army for complex battle scenes (WHO has that anywhere), but also it has Such book-accurate everything, the emotions, thoughts, dialogue, direction of the actors--it's literally lifted right off the page. It's incredibly emotional too, with the music and the visuals. So, compelling movie+a book lover's dream of adapting the book and only the book? How is it real?? Also, as an aside, I think Andrey just had a reality check when he got engaged to Natasha, as in, he saw that she had a lot of growing up to do, and still had love for her, but also now a responsibility too in his dealing with her. They still got on famously after his engagement, and before he left. And, as a finally note, I am very much a fan of Marya and got extremely invested in her relationship with her dad. I always wanted it to get better :')
