Outline
• War and Peaceis well known as beingoneof thelongestnovelsever written,thoughnotthelongest.Itis actuallytheseventh longestnovel ever written in a Latinor Cyrillicbased alphabetandis subdividedintofourbooksor volumes,eachwith subpartscontainingmany chapters.[citationneeded]
• Tolstoy never documentedwhy in 1867hechanged thenameof his novel fromTheYear 1805to War and Peace.Hemay haveborrowed thetitlefromthe1861 workof Pierre-JosephProudhon:La Guerreetla Paix ('Warand Peace' in French),.[4] Thetitlemay alsobeanotherreferenceto Titus,who is described asbeinga master of "war and peace"in TheTwelveCaesars,written by Suetonius in119CE.Titus (anglicizedto "Tit"by someEnglishtranslations) is mentioned several times in WarandPeaceandmay bea musefor thecharacters,strugglingto master their own lives through the dramatictransitions of war andpeace.
• Hebegan writingWar andPeacein theyear thathefinallymarried and settleddownathis countryestate.Thefirsthalf of thebook was written under thename"1805".
• Duringthewritingof thesecond half,heread widelyand acknowledged Schopenhauer asoneof hismain inspirations.However, Tolstoydeveloped his own views of historyandtheroleof theindividual within it.[9]
• Thefirstdraftof War andPeacewas completed in1863.In 1865,theperiodical RusskiyVestnik published thefirstpartof this earlyversion under thetitle1805.Inthefollowingyear,itpublished moreof thesameearly version.Tolstoywas dissatisfiedwith thisversion,although heallowed several partsof itto bepublishedwith a different endingin 1867,still underthesametitle"1805".Heheavilyrewrotetheentirenovel between 1866and1869.[5][9] Tolstoy's wife,SophiaTolstaya,copiedas manyas seven separatecompletemanuscripts byhandbeforeTolstoyconsidered itagainready forpublication.[9] Theversionthatwas published inRusskiyVestnik had a verydifferentendingfromtheversion eventuallypublished underthetitleWar andPeacein 1869.
• Thecompleted novel was then called Voynai mir (newstyleorthography;in EnglishWarandPeace).
• The1805 manuscript(sometimes referred to as "theoriginal War andPeace") was re-edited andannotated in Russiain 1983 and sincehas been translated separatelyfromthe"known"version,to English,German,French,Spanish,Dutch,Swedish,Finnish,Albanian,andKorean.Thefactthatso many versionsof War and Peacesurvivemakeitoneof thebestinsightsintothemental processes of a greatnovelist.
• Russianswho had read theserialized versionwereanxiousto acquirethecompletefirstedition,whichincluded epilogues,anditsoldoutalmostimmediately.Thenovel was translated almostimmediatelyafter publication intomany other languages.
• Thenovel can begenerally classified ashistorical fiction.Itcontainselements presentin manytypes of popular18th and 19th centuryliterature,especially theromancenovel.War and Peaceattainsits literary statusby transcendinggenres.
• Tolstoy was instrumental in bringinga newkind of consciousnessto thenovel.Hisnarrativestructureis noted forits "god-like"abilityto hoveroverandwithinevents,butalso intheway itswiftly and seamlesslyportrayeda particularcharacter's pointof view.His useof visual detail isoften cinematic inits scope,usingtheliterary equivalentsof panning,wideshots and close-ups,to givedramaticinterestto battlesandballroomsalike.Thesedevices,whilenotexclusiveto Tolstoy,arepartof thenewstyleof thenovel thatarosein themid-19th century and of whichTolstoyprovedhimself a master.[10]
• Tolstoy incorporated extensivehistorical research.Hewas alsoinfluencedby manyothernovels.[9] Aveteran of theCrimean War,Tolstoywas quitecritical of standardhistory,especiallythestandardsof militaryhistory,inWarandPeace.Tolstoyreadall thestandard histories availablein Russian and FrenchabouttheNapoleonic Warsand combined moretraditional historical writingwith thenovel form.Heexplains atthestartof thenovel's thirdvolumehisown views onhowhistory oughtto bewritten.His aimwas to blurthelinebetween fictionandhistory,in orderto getcloser to thetruth,as hestates in VolumeII.
• Thenovel is set60 yearsearlier than when Tolstoywroteit,"in thedays of ourgrandfathers,"as heputsit.Hehad spoken with peoplewho had lived throughwar duringtheFrench invasion of Russia in1812,so thebookisalso,in part,accurateethnography fictionalized.Heread letters,journals,autobiographical andbiographical materials pertainingto Napoleon andthedozens of otherhistorical characters inthenovel.Thereareapproximately160real personsnamed or referred to in Warand Peace.[11]
• Although Tolstoy wrotemostof thebook,includingall thenarration,in Russian,significantportionsof dialogue(including its openingparagraph) arewritten in Frenchandcharactersoften switchbetween thetwo languages.Thisreflected 19th century Russianaristocracy,whereFrench,a foreign tongue,was widely spokenandconsidered a languageof prestigeandmorerefined thanRussian.[12] This cameaboutfromthehistorical influencethroughoutEuropeof thepowerful courtof theSun King,LouisXIV of France,leadingto members of theRussianaristocracybeingless competentinspeakingtheirmother tongue.In WarandPeace,for example,JulieKaragina,PrincessMarya's friend,hasto takeRussianlessonsin order to master her nativelanguage.
• Ithas been suggested[13] thatitis a deliberateliterarydeviceemployed by Tolstoy,to useFrenchto portrayartificeand insincerity asthelanguageof thetheater and deceitwhileRussianemerges as a languageof sincerity,honesty andseriousness. Itdisplaysslightirony thatas Pierreandothers socializeand useFrench phrases,they will beattacked by legionsof Bonapartists in a veryshorttime.Itis sometimes used in satireagainstNapoleon.In thenovel,when Pierreproposes to Hélène,hespeaksto her in French—Jevousaime("I loveyou").When themarriagelater emerges to bea sham,Pierreblames thoseFrenchwords.
• Theuseof French diminishes as thebook progresses and thewars with theFrenchintensify,culminatingin thecaptureandeventual burningof Moscow.Theprogressiveeliminationof Frenchfromthetextis a means of demonstratingthatRussia hasfreed itself fromforeigncultural domination.[13] Itis also,atthelevel of plotdevelopment,a way of showingthata once-admiredandfriendly nation,France,has turnedintoan enemy.By midway through thebook,several of theRussianaristocracy,whosecommandof Frenchis farbetter than theircommandof Russian,areanxiousto findRussiantutorsfor themselves.
• War and Peacehasbeen translatedintomany languages.Ithasbeen translatedintoEnglishon several occasions,startingwith ClaraBell workingfroma Frenchtranslation.Thetranslators ConstanceGarnettandLouiseand Aylmer MaudeknewTolstoy personally.Translations haveto deal with Tolstoy’soften peculiarsyntax andhisfondnessfor repetitions.About2%of War and Peaceis inFrench;TolstoyremovedtheFrenchin a revised 1873edition,only to restoreitlater.[13] Mosttranslators followGarnettretainingsomeFrench,Briggs usesno French,whilePevear-Volokhonskyand Amy Mandelker's revisionof theMaudetranslationbothretain theFrenchfully.[13] (For a listof translationsseebelow)
• Thenovel begins intheyear 1805duringthereign of Tsar Alexander I andleadsup to the1812Frenchinvasion of Russia byNapoleon.Theera of CatherinetheGreat(1762–1796),when theroyal courtin Paris was thecentreof western Europeancivilization,[14] is still freshin theminds of olderpeople.Catherine,fluentin French andwishingto reshapeRussiainto a greatEuropeannation,madeFrench thelanguageof her royal court.For thenextonehundred years,itbecamea social requirementfor members of theRussiannobility to speak FrenchandunderstandFrenchculture.[14] Thishistorical andcultural contextin thearistocracyis reflected inWarandPeace.Catherine's grandson,AlexanderI,cameto thethronein 1801attheageof 24.In thenovel,his mother,MaryaFeodorovna,isthemostpowerful woman intheRussiancourt.
• War and Peacetellsthestoryof fivearistocraticfamilies—theBezukhovs,theBolkonskys,theRostovs,theKuragins and theDrubetskoys—andtheentanglementsof their personal lives with thethen contemporary historyof 1805 to 1813,principally Napoleon'sinvasionof Russiain 1812.TheBezukhovs,whileveryrich,area fragmented familyas theoldCount, Kirill Vladimirovich,has fathered dozensof illegitimatesons.TheBolkonskys arean old establishedandwealthyfamilybased atBaldHills.OldPrinceBolkonsky,Nikolai Andreevich,servedas a general underCatherinetheGreat,in earlierwars.TheMoscow Rostovs havemanyestates,butneverenough cash.They area closely knit,lovingfamily who livefor themomentregardlessof their financial situation.TheKuraginfamily hasthreechildren,who areall of questionablecharacter.The Drubetskoy familyisof impoverished nobility,andconsistsof an elderlymother andher onlyson,Boris,whomshewishesto push upthe career ladder.
• Tolstoy spentyearsresearchingandrewritingthebook.Heworked fromprimary sourcematerials(interviewsandother documents),as well asfromhistorybooks,philosophy texts and other historical novels.[9] Tolstoy also used a greatdeal of his own experienceintheCrimeanWarto bringvivid detail andfirst-handaccounts of howtheRussianarmy was structured.[15]
• Thestandard Russiantextof War and Peaceis dividedintofourbooks(fifteen parts) andan epiloguein two parts –onemainlynarrative,theother thematic.Whileroughlythefirsthalf of thenovel is concerned strictly with thefictional characters, thelater parts,aswell as oneof thework's two epilogues,increasinglyconsistof essays aboutthenatureof war,power,history,andhistoriography.Tolstoy interspersedtheseessaysinto thestoryina way thatdefies previousfictional convention.Certain abridged versionsremovetheseessaysentirely,whileothers,published even duringTolstoy's life,simplymoved theseessays intoan appendix.

• Thenovel begins inJuly1805in SaintPetersburg,ata soiréegiven byAnna PavlovnaScherer—themaidof honourandconfidanteto thequeen mother Maria Feodorovna.Manyof themain characters and aristocraticfamilies inthenovel areintroduced asthey enter Anna Pavlovna's salon.Pierre(Pyotr Kirilovich) Bezukhovistheillegitimatesonof a wealthy count,an elderly man who isdyingafter a seriesof strokes.Pierreis aboutto become embroiled in a strugglefor hisinheritance.Educated abroadathisfather'sexpensefollowinghis mother's death,Pierreis essentiallykindhearted,butsociallyawkward,andowingin partto hisopen,benevolentnature,finds itdifficultto integrateintoPetersburgsociety.Itis known to everyoneatthesoiréethatPierreis hisfather's favoriteof all theoldcount’s illegitimatechildren.
• Also attendingthesoiréeis Pierre'sfriend,theintelligentand sardonic PrinceAndrei NikolayevichBolkonsky,husbandof Lise,thecharmingsociety favourite.FindingPetersburgsociety unctuous anddisillusionedwith married lifeafter discoveringhiswifeis empty and superficial,PrinceAndrei makesthefateful choiceto bean aide-de-camp to PrinceMikhail IlarionovichKutuzov inthecomingwar againstNapoleon.
• Theplotmoves to Moscow,Russia's ancientcity and former capital,contrastingits provincial,moreRussianwaysto thehighlymanneredsociety of Petersburg.TheRostov family areintroduced.CountIlyaAndreyevich Rostovhasfouradolescentchildren.Thirteen-year-old Natasha (NataliaIlyinichna) believesherself inlovewith Boris Drubetskoy,a disciplined youngman who is aboutto jointhearmy as anofficer.Twenty-year-oldNikolai Ilyichpledges his loveto Sonya(Sofia Alexandrovna),his fifteen-year-oldcousin,an orphan who hasbeen broughtup by theRostovs.Theeldestchildof theRostov family,Vera Ilyinichna,is cold andsomewhathaughtybuthasa good prospectivemarriagein a Russian-Germanofficer,Adolf KarlovichBerg.Petya (PyotrIlyich) is nineand theyoungestof theRostov family;likehisbrother,heis impetuousandeager to jointhearmy when of age.Theheads of thefamily,CountIlyaRostovandCountessNatalyaRostova,arean affectionatecouplebutforever worriedabouttheir disorderedfinances.

• As in all good marriages,therearemisunderstandings,butthecouples — PierreandNatasha,Nikolai and Maria— remaindevoted to their spouses.Pierreand Natasha visitBald Hills in1820,much to thejubilationof everyoneconcerned.Thereis a hint intheclosingchapters thattheidealistic,boyish Nikolenka and Pierrewouldboth becomepartof theDecembristUprising.Thefirstepilogueconcludes with Nikolenkapromisinghewoulddo somethingwith whicheven hislatefather "wouldbesatisfied..."(presumablyasa revolutionary inthe Decembristrevolt).
• Thesecond partof theepiloguecontainsTolstoy'scritiqueof all existingforms of mainstreamhistory.The19th-century GreatManTheoryclaims thathistorical eventsaretheresultof theactionsof "heroes"andother greatindividuals;Tolstoyarguesthatthisis impossiblebecauseof howrarely theseactionsresultin greathistorical events.Rather,heargues,greathistorical events aretheresultof many smaller eventsdriven bythethousandsof individualsinvolved (hecompares this to calculus, andthesumof infinitesimals).Hethen goes on to arguethatthesesmaller eventsaretheresultof an inverserelationshipbetween necessityandfree-will,necessitybeingbased onreason and thereforeexplainableby historical analysis,and free-will beingbased on "consciousness"andthereforeinherentlyunpredictable.
• Thenovel thatmadeits author"thetruelionof theRussianliterature"(accordingto IvanGoncharov)[17][18] enjoyed greatsuccesswith thereadingpublic uponits publicationand spawned dozensof reviews andanalytical essaysin thepress,someof which (by Pisarev,Annenkov,Dragomirovand Strakhov) formed thebasisfor theresearch of laterTolstoyscholars.[18] YettheRussian press's initial responseto thenovel was muted,mostcriticsfeelingbewilderedby thismammoth workthey couldn’tdecidehowto classify.Theliberal newspaper Golos (TheVoice,April 3,#93,1865) was oneof thefirstto react.Its anonymousreviewer poseda question later repeated bymanyothers:"Whatcould this possiblybe? Whatkindof genrearewesupposed to fileitto?..Whereis fictioninit,and whereis real history?"[18]
• Leonid Pasternak's 1893illustrationto War and Peace"
• Writer andcriticNikolai Akhsharumov,writingin VsemirnyTrud(#6,1867) suggested thatWar andPeacewas "neithera chronicle,nor a historical novel",buta genremerger,this ambiguity neverunderminingits immensevalue.Pavel Annenkov,who praised thenovel too,was equallyvaguewhen tryingto classifyit."Thecultural historyof onelargesectionof our society,thepolitical and social panoramaof itin thebeginningof thecurrentcentury,"was hissuggestion."Itis the[social] epic,thehistory novel and thevastpictureof thewholenation'slife,"wroteIvan Turgenev inhisbid to defineWar and Peaceintheforewordfor his Frenchtranslationof "TheTwo Hussars"(publishedin ParisbyLeTemps in 1875).
• In general,theliterary leftreceivedthenovel coldly.They sawitas totallydevoid of social critique,andkeen on theidea of national unity.They sawits majorfaultas the"...author'sinability to portraya newkindof revolutionary intelligentsiain his novel,"as criticVarfoomey Zaytsev putit.[19] Articles byD.Minayev,V.Bervi-FlerovskyandN.ShelgunovinDelomagazinecharacterizedthenovel as "lackingrealism",showingits charactersas "cruel andrough","mentallystoned","morally depraved"and promoting"thephilosophyof stagnation".Still,Mikhail Saltykov-Schedrin,who neverexpressedhisopinion of thenovel publicly,in theprivateconversation was reportedto haveexpresseddelightwith "howstrongly this Counthas stungourhighersociety".[20] DmitryPisarev in hisunfinished article"Russian Gentryof Old"(Staroyebarstvo,OtechestvennyeZapiski,#2,1868) whilepraisingTolstoy's realismin portrayingmembers of high society,still was unhappywith theway theauthor,as hesawit,'idealized' theoldnobility,expressing"unconsciousandquitenatural tendernesstowards"the
Russian dvoryanstvo.On theoppositefront,theconservativepress and "patriotic"authors(A.S.Norov and P.A.Vyazemsky amongthem) wereaccusingTolstoyof consciouslydistortingthe1812history,desecratingthe"patrioticfeelings of ourfathers"andridiculingdvoryanstvo.[18]
• Oneof thefirstcomprehensivearticles on thenovel was thatof Pavel Annenkov,published in#2,1868issueof VestnikEvropy.Thecriticpraised Tolstoy'smasterful portrayal of man atwar,marveled atthecomplexityof thewholecomposition,organicallymerginghistorical factsandfiction."Thedazzlingsideof thenovel",accordingto Annenkov,was "thenatural simplicity with which[theauthor] transports theworldlyaffairsand bigsocial eventsdownto thelevel of a character who witnesses them."Annekovthoughtthehistorical galleryof thenovel was incompletewith thetwo "great raznotchintsys",SperanskyandArakcheev,anddeplored thefactthattheauthorstopped atintroducingto thenovel "thisrelativelyrough butoriginal element".In theend thecriticcalled thenovel "thewholeepochin theRussianfiction".[18]
• Slavophiles declaredTolstoytheir"bogatyr"andpronouncedWarandPeace"theBibleof thenewnational idea".Several articleson WarandPeacewerepublished in1869–1870in Zaryamagazineby Nikolai Strakhov."War and Peaceisthework of genius,equal to everythingthattheRussianliteraturehas produced before,"hepronounced inthefirst,smaller essay."Itis nowquiteclearthatfrom1868 when theWar and Peacewas published thevery essenceof what wecall Russianliteraturehasbecomequitedifferent,acquiredthenewformand meaning,"thecriticcontinuedlater. Strakhovwas thefirstcriticin Russiawho declared Tolstoy's novel to bea masterpieceof level previouslyunknown in Russianliterature.Still,beinga trueSlavophile,hecouldnotfail to seethenovel as promotingthemajor Slavophiliac ideasof "meek Russian character'sssupremacy over therapaciousEuropeankind"(using Apollon Grigoriev's formula).Yearslater,in 1878,discussing Strakhov's own book TheWorldas a Whole,Tolstoycriticized bothGrigoriev'sconcept(of "Russian meeknessvs.Western
bestiality") andStrakhov's interpretationof it.[21]
• Battleof Schöngrabern byK.Bujnitsky
• Amongthereviewers weremilitarymen and authorsspecializingin thewar literature.Mostassessed highlytheartfulnessandrealismof Tolstoy'sbattlescenes.N.Lachinov,a member of theRussky Invalidnewspaper stuff (#69,April 10,1868) calledtheBattleof Schöngrabernscenes"bearingthehighestdegreeof historical and artistictruthfulness"andtotallyagreed with theauthor'sviewon the Battleof Borodino,whichsomeof his opponentsdisputed.Thearmy general and respected militarywriter Mikhail Dragomirov,in anarticlepublished inOruzheinySbornik(TheMilitary Almanac,1868-1870),whiledisputingsomeof Tolstoy'sideas concerningthe"spontaneity"of wars andtheroleof commander inbattles,advised all theRussianArmy officers to useWarandPeaceas theirdeskbook,describingits battlescenes as "incomparable"and "servingfor an ideal manual to everytextbookon theories of militaryart."[18]
• Unlikeprofessional literary critics,mostprominentRussianwriters of thetimesupportedthenovel wholeheartedly. Goncharov,Turgenev,Leskov,DostoyevskyandFethaveall goneon recordas declaringWar and Peacethemasterpieceof theRussianliterature.IvanGoncharov ina July 17,1878,letter to PyotrGanzen advised himto choosefor translatinginto DanishWarandPeace,adding:"Thisis positivelywhatmightbecalleda RussianIlyad.Embracingthewholeepoch,itis thegrandioseliteraryevent,showcasingthegalleryof greatmen painted bya lively brushof thegreatmaster...This is oneof themost,if notthemost profoundliteraryworkever.[22] In 1879,unhappy with GanzenhavingchosenAnna Karenina to startwith,Goncharov insisted:"War and Peaceis theextraordinarypoemof a novel,both incontentand execution.Italsoserves asa monumentto Russianhistory'sglorious epochwhen whateverfigureyou takeis a colossus,a statuein bronze.Even [thenovel's] minorcharacters carry all thecharacteristicfeatures of theRussian peopleandits life."[23] In1885,expressing
satisfactionwith thefactthatTolstoy'sworkshavenowbeen translated into Danish, Goncharov againstressed theimmenseimportanceof War andPeace."CountTolstoyreallymounts over everybodyelsehere[in Russia],"heremarked.[24]
• FyodorDostoyevsky(in a May30,1871,letter to Strakhov) described WarandPeaceas "thelastword of thelandlord'sliteratureandthebrilliantoneatthat".In a draftversionof theTeenager novel hedescribedTolstoyas "a historiographof thedvoryanstvo,orrather,its cultural elite.""Theobjectivity and realismimpartwonderful charmto all scenes,andalongsidepeopleof talent,honouranddutyheexposes numerous scoundrels,worthlessgoons and fools,"headded.[25] In1876 Dostoyevskywrote:"My strongconvictionis thata writer of fictionhasto havemostprofoundknowledge - notonlyof thepoetic sideof hisart,butalso thereality hedeals with,inits historical as well ascontemporarycontext.Here[in Russia],as far asI seeit,only onewriter excels inthis,CountLev Tolstoy."[26]
• Nikolai Leskov,then an anonymousreviewer in BirzhevyVestnik(TheStock ExchangeHerald),wroteseveral articles praisinghighly War and Peace,callingit"thebestever Russian historical novel"and"theprideof thecontemporaryliterature".Marvelingattherealismand factual truthfulnessof Tolstoy'sbook, Leskovthoughttheauthordeserved thespecial creditfor "havinglifted up thepeople's spiritupon thehigh pedestal itdeserved". "Whileworkingmostelaboratelyuponindividual characters,theauthor,apparently,hasbeen studyingmostdiligentlythecharacterof thenationas a whole;thelifeof peoplewhosemoral strength cameto beconcentrated intheArmy thatcameup to fightmighty Napoleon.In thisrespectthenovel of CountTolstoycouldbeseen as an epicof theGreatnational warwhich upuntil nowhashadits historiansbutnever had itssingers," Leskov wrote.[18]
• Afanasy Fet,in a January1,1870,letter to Tolstoy,expressed hisgreatdelightwith thenovel."You'vemanaged to showus in greatdetail theother,mundanesideof lifeand explainhoworganically does itfeed theouter,heroic sideof it,"headded.[27]
• Ivan Turgenev graduallyre-considered his initial skepticismas to thenovel’s historical aspectandalsothestyleof Tolstoy's psychological analysis.Inhis1880articlewritten in theformof a letter addressedto EdmondAbou,theeditorof theFrench newspaperLeXIX-eSiecle,TurgenevdescribedTolstoyas "themostpopularRussianwriter"and War andPeaceas "oneof themostremarkablebooks of ourage".[28] "Thisvastworkhasthespiritof an epic,wherethelifeof Russiaof thebeginningof our century ingeneral and indetails has been recreated bythehandof a truemaster...Themanner in which CountTolstoyconductshistreatiseis innovativeandoriginal.Thisis thegreatwork of a greatwriter,andin itthere’s true,real Russia,"Turgenevwrote.[29] Itwas largely dueto Turgenev'sefforts thatthenovel startedto gain popularitywith theEuropeanreadership.ThefirstFrench editionof theWar andPeace(1879) paved theway for theworldwidesuccess of Leo Tolstoy and hisworks.[18]
• Sincethen many world famousauthorshavepraised Warand Peaceas a masterpieceof theworld literature. GustaveFlaubertexpressedhisdelightin a January1880letter to Turgenev,writing:"This isthefirstclasswork!Whatanartistand whata psychologist!Thefirsttwo volumes areexquisite.I used to utter shrieksof delightwhilereading.Thisispowerful, verypowerful indeed."[30] Later JohnGalsworthy called WarandPeace"thebestnovel thathadever been written". RomainRolland,rememberinghis readingthenovel as a student,wrote:"this work,likelifeitself,has nobeginning,no end.Itis lifeitself inits eternal movement."[31] Thomas MannthoughtWarand Peaceto be"thegreatestever war novel in thehistoryof literature."[32] ErnestHemingway confessed thatitwas fromTolstoythathe'd been takinglessonson howto "writeaboutwar inthemoststraightforward,honest,objectiveandstarkway.""I don'tknowanybodywho couldwriteaboutwar better thanTolstoy did,"Hemingwayasserted in his1955 Men atWar.TheBestWar Stories of All Timeanthology.[18]
• IsaakBabel said,after readingWarandPeace,"If theworld could writeby itself,itwouldwritelikeTolstoy."[33] Tolstoy "givesus a uniquecombinationof the'naiveobjectivity' of theoral narratorwith theinterestindetail characteristic of realism.This isthereason forourtrustin hispresentation."[34]

Scientists Urge Temporary Moratorium
On Human Genome Edits 20 March 2015
A new technology called CRISPR could allow scientists to alter the
human genetic code for generations. That's causing some leading
biologists and bioethicists to sound an alarm. They're calling for a
worldwide moratorium on any attempts to alter the code, at least
until there's been time for far more research and discussion.
For the first time, scientists have edited DNA in
human embryos, a highly controversial step long
considered off limits.
Junjiu Huang and his colleagues at the Sun Yat-
sen University in Guangzhou, China, performed a
series of experiments involving 86 human
embryos to see if they could make changes in a
gene known as HBB, which causes the sometimes
fatal blood disorder beta-thalassemia.

  • 4. Outline • War and Peaceis well known as beingoneof thelongestnovelsever written,thoughnotthelongest.Itis actuallytheseventh longestnovel ever written in a Latinor Cyrillicbased alphabetandis subdividedintofourbooksor volumes,eachwith subpartscontainingmany chapters.[citationneeded] • Tolstoy never documentedwhy in 1867hechanged thenameof his novel fromTheYear 1805to War and Peace.Hemay haveborrowed thetitlefromthe1861 workof Pierre-JosephProudhon:La Guerreetla Paix ('Warand Peace' in French),.[4] Thetitlemay alsobeanotherreferenceto Titus,who is described asbeinga master of "war and peace"in TheTwelveCaesars,written by Suetonius in119CE.Titus (anglicizedto "Tit"by someEnglishtranslations) is mentioned several times in WarandPeaceandmay bea musefor thecharacters,strugglingto master their own lives through the dramatictransitions of war andpeace. • Hebegan writingWar andPeacein theyear thathefinallymarried and settleddownathis countryestate.Thefirsthalf of thebook was written under thename"1805". • Duringthewritingof thesecond half,heread widelyand acknowledged Schopenhauer asoneof hismain inspirations.However, Tolstoydeveloped his own views of historyandtheroleof theindividual within it.[9] • Thefirstdraftof War andPeacewas completed in1863.In 1865,theperiodical RusskiyVestnik published thefirstpartof this earlyversion under thetitle1805.Inthefollowingyear,itpublished moreof thesameearly version.Tolstoywas dissatisfiedwith thisversion,although heallowed several partsof itto bepublishedwith a different endingin 1867,still underthesametitle"1805".Heheavilyrewrotetheentirenovel between 1866and1869.[5][9] Tolstoy's wife,SophiaTolstaya,copiedas manyas seven separatecompletemanuscripts byhandbeforeTolstoyconsidered itagainready forpublication.[9] Theversionthatwas published inRusskiyVestnik had a verydifferentendingfromtheversion eventuallypublished underthetitleWar andPeacein 1869. • Thecompleted novel was then called Voynai mir (newstyleorthography;in EnglishWarandPeace). • The1805 manuscript(sometimes referred to as "theoriginal War andPeace") was re-edited andannotated in Russiain 1983 and sincehas been translated separatelyfromthe"known"version,to English,German,French,Spanish,Dutch,Swedish,Finnish,Albanian,andKorean.Thefactthatso many versionsof War and Peacesurvivemakeitoneof thebestinsightsintothemental processes of a greatnovelist. • Russianswho had read theserialized versionwereanxiousto acquirethecompletefirstedition,whichincluded epilogues,anditsoldoutalmostimmediately.Thenovel was translated almostimmediatelyafter publication intomany other languages. • Thenovel can begenerally classified ashistorical fiction.Itcontainselements presentin manytypes of popular18th and 19th centuryliterature,especially theromancenovel.War and Peaceattainsits literary statusby transcendinggenres. • Tolstoy was instrumental in bringinga newkind of consciousnessto thenovel.Hisnarrativestructureis noted forits "god-like"abilityto hoveroverandwithinevents,butalso intheway itswiftly and seamlesslyportrayeda particularcharacter's pointof view.His useof visual detail isoften cinematic inits scope,usingtheliterary equivalentsof panning,wideshots and close-ups,to givedramaticinterestto battlesandballroomsalike.Thesedevices,whilenotexclusiveto Tolstoy,arepartof thenewstyleof thenovel thatarosein themid-19th century and of whichTolstoyprovedhimself a master.[10] • Tolstoy incorporated extensivehistorical research.Hewas alsoinfluencedby manyothernovels.[9] Aveteran of theCrimean War,Tolstoywas quitecritical of standardhistory,especiallythestandardsof militaryhistory,inWarandPeace.Tolstoyreadall thestandard histories availablein Russian and FrenchabouttheNapoleonic Warsand combined moretraditional historical writingwith thenovel form.Heexplains atthestartof thenovel's thirdvolumehisown views onhowhistory oughtto bewritten.His aimwas to blurthelinebetween fictionandhistory,in orderto getcloser to thetruth,as hestates in VolumeII. • Thenovel is set60 yearsearlier than when Tolstoywroteit,"in thedays of ourgrandfathers,"as heputsit.Hehad spoken with peoplewho had lived throughwar duringtheFrench invasion of Russia in1812,so thebookisalso,in part,accurateethnography fictionalized.Heread letters,journals,autobiographical andbiographical materials pertainingto Napoleon andthedozens of otherhistorical characters inthenovel.Thereareapproximately160real personsnamed or referred to in Warand Peace.[11] • Although Tolstoy wrotemostof thebook,includingall thenarration,in Russian,significantportionsof dialogue(including its openingparagraph) arewritten in Frenchandcharactersoften switchbetween thetwo languages.Thisreflected 19th century Russianaristocracy,whereFrench,a foreign tongue,was widely spokenandconsidered a languageof prestigeandmorerefined thanRussian.[12] This cameaboutfromthehistorical influencethroughoutEuropeof thepowerful courtof theSun King,LouisXIV of France,leadingto members of theRussianaristocracybeingless competentinspeakingtheirmother tongue.In WarandPeace,for example,JulieKaragina,PrincessMarya's friend,hasto takeRussianlessonsin order to master her nativelanguage. • Ithas been suggested[13] thatitis a deliberateliterarydeviceemployed by Tolstoy,to useFrenchto portrayartificeand insincerity asthelanguageof thetheater and deceitwhileRussianemerges as a languageof sincerity,honesty andseriousness. Itdisplaysslightirony thatas Pierreandothers socializeand useFrench phrases,they will beattacked by legionsof Bonapartists in a veryshorttime.Itis sometimes used in satireagainstNapoleon.In thenovel,when Pierreproposes to Hélène,hespeaksto her in French—Jevousaime("I loveyou").When themarriagelater emerges to bea sham,Pierreblames thoseFrenchwords. • Theuseof French diminishes as thebook progresses and thewars with theFrenchintensify,culminatingin thecaptureandeventual burningof Moscow.Theprogressiveeliminationof Frenchfromthetextis a means of demonstratingthatRussia hasfreed itself fromforeigncultural domination.[13] Itis also,atthelevel of plotdevelopment,a way of showingthata once-admiredandfriendly nation,France,has turnedintoan enemy.By midway through thebook,several of theRussianaristocracy,whosecommandof Frenchis farbetter than theircommandof Russian,areanxiousto findRussiantutorsfor themselves. • War and Peacehasbeen translatedintomany languages.Ithasbeen translatedintoEnglishon several occasions,startingwith ClaraBell workingfroma Frenchtranslation.Thetranslators ConstanceGarnettandLouiseand Aylmer MaudeknewTolstoy personally.Translations haveto deal with Tolstoy’soften peculiarsyntax andhisfondnessfor repetitions.About2%of War and Peaceis inFrench;TolstoyremovedtheFrenchin a revised 1873edition,only to restoreitlater.[13] Mosttranslators followGarnettretainingsomeFrench,Briggs usesno French,whilePevear-Volokhonskyand Amy Mandelker's revisionof theMaudetranslationbothretain theFrenchfully.[13] (For a listof translationsseebelow) • Thenovel begins intheyear 1805duringthereign of Tsar Alexander I andleadsup to the1812Frenchinvasion of Russia byNapoleon.Theera of CatherinetheGreat(1762–1796),when theroyal courtin Paris was thecentreof western Europeancivilization,[14] is still freshin theminds of olderpeople.Catherine,fluentin French andwishingto reshapeRussiainto a greatEuropeannation,madeFrench thelanguageof her royal court.For thenextonehundred years,itbecamea social requirementfor members of theRussiannobility to speak FrenchandunderstandFrenchculture.[14] Thishistorical andcultural contextin thearistocracyis reflected inWarandPeace.Catherine's grandson,AlexanderI,cameto thethronein 1801attheageof 24.In thenovel,his mother,MaryaFeodorovna,isthemostpowerful woman intheRussiancourt. • War and Peacetellsthestoryof fivearistocraticfamilies—theBezukhovs,theBolkonskys,theRostovs,theKuragins and theDrubetskoys—andtheentanglementsof their personal lives with thethen contemporary historyof 1805

theRussianliterature"(accordingto IvanGoncharov)[17][18] enjoyed greatsuccesswith thereadingpublic uponits publicationand spawned dozensof reviews andanalytical essaysin thepress,someof which (by Pisarev,Annenkov,Dragomirovand Strakhov) formed thebasisfor theresearch of laterTolstoyscholars.[18] YettheRussian press's initial responseto thenovel was muted,mostcriticsfeelingbewilderedby thismammoth workthey couldn’tdecidehowto classify.Theliberal newspaper Golos (TheVoice,April 3,#93,1865) was oneof thefirstto react.Its anonymousreviewer poseda question later repeated bymanyothers:"Whatcould this possiblybe? Whatkindof genrearewesupposed to fileitto?..Whereis fictioninit,and whereis real history?"[18] • Leonid Pasternak's 1893illustrationto War and Peace" • Writer andcriticNikolai Akhsharumov,writingin VsemirnyTrud(#6,1867) suggested thatWar andPeacewas "neithera chronicle,nor a historical novel",buta genremerger,this ambiguity neverunderminingits immensevalue.Pavel Annenkov,who praised thenovel too,was equallyvaguewhen tryingto classifyit."Thecultural historyof onelargesectionof our society,thepolitical and social panoramaof itin thebeginningof thecurrentcentury,"was hissuggestion."Itis the[social] epic,thehistory novel and thevastpictureof thewholenation'slife,"wroteIvan Turgenev inhisbid to defineWar and Peaceintheforewordfor his Frenchtranslationof "TheTwo Hussars"(publishedin ParisbyLeTemps in 1875). • In general,theliterary leftreceivedthenovel coldly.They sawitas totallydevoid of social critique,andkeen on theidea of national unity.They sawits majorfaultas the"...author'sinability to portraya newkindof revolutionary intelligentsiain his novel,"as criticVarfoomey Zaytsev putit.[19] Articles byD.Minayev,V.Bervi-FlerovskyandN.ShelgunovinDelomagazinecharacterizedthenovel as "lackingrealism",showingits charactersas "cruel andrough","mentallystoned","morally depraved"and promoting"thephilosophyof stagnation".Still,Mikhail Saltykov-Schedrin,who neverexpressedhisopinion of thenovel publicly,in theprivateconversation was reportedto haveexpresseddelightwith "howstrongly this Counthas stungourhighersociety".[20] DmitryPisarev in hisunfinished article"Russian Gentryof Old"(Staroyebarstvo,OtechestvennyeZapiski,#2,1868) whilepraisingTolstoy's realismin portrayingmembers of high society,still was unhappywith theway theauthor,as hesawit,'idealized' theoldnobility,expressing"unconsciousandquitenatural tendernesstowards"the Russian dvoryanstvo.On theoppositefront,theconservativepress and "patriotic"authors(A.S.Norov and P.A.Vyazemsky amongthem) wereaccusingTolstoyof consciouslydistortingthe1812history,desecratingthe"patrioticfeelings of ourfathers"andridiculingdvoryanstvo.[18] • Oneof thefirstcomprehensivearticles on thenovel was thatof Pavel Annenkov,published in#2,1868issueof VestnikEvropy.Thecriticpraised Tolstoy'smasterful portrayal of man atwar,marveled atthecomplexityof thewholecomposition,organicallymerginghistorical factsandfiction."Thedazzlingsideof thenovel",accordingto Annenkov,was "thenatural simplicity with which[theauthor] transports theworldlyaffairsand bigsocial eventsdownto thelevel of a character who witnesses them."Annekovthoughtthehistorical galleryof thenovel was incompletewith thetwo "great raznotchintsys",SperanskyandArakcheev,anddeplored thefactthattheauthorstopped atintroducingto thenovel "thisrelativelyrough butoriginal element".In theend thecriticcalled thenovel "thewholeepochin theRussianfiction".[18] • Slavophiles declaredTolstoytheir"bogatyr"andpronouncedWarandPeace"theBibleof thenewnational idea".Several articleson WarandPeacewerepublished in1869–1870in Zaryamagazineby Nikolai Strakhov."War and Peaceisthework of genius,equal to everythingthattheRussianliteraturehas produced before,"hepronounced inthefirst,smaller essay."Itis nowquiteclearthatfrom1868 when theWar and Peacewas published thevery essenceof what wecall Russianliteraturehasbecomequitedifferent,acquiredthenewformand meaning,"thecriticcontinuedlater. Strakhovwas thefirstcriticin Russiawho declared Tolstoy's novel to bea masterpieceof level previouslyunknown in Russianliterature.Still,beinga trueSlavophile,hecouldnotfail to seethenovel as promotingthemajor Slavophiliac ideasof "meek Russian character'sssupremacy over therapaciousEuropeankind"(using Apollon Grigoriev's formula).Yearslater,in 1878,discussing Strakhov's own book TheWorldas a Whole,Tolstoycriticized bothGrigoriev'sconcept(of "Russian meeknessvs.Western bestiality") andStrakhov's interpretationof it.[21] • Battleof Schöngrabern byK.Bujnitsky • Amongthereviewers weremilitarymen and authorsspecializingin thewar literature.Mostassessed highlytheartfulnessandrealismof Tolstoy'sbattlescenes.N.Lachinov,a member of theRussky Invalidnewspaper stuff (#69,April 10,1868) calledtheBattleof Schöngrabernscenes"bearingthehighestdegreeof historical and artistictruthfulness"andtotallyagreed with theauthor'sviewon the Battleof Borodino,whichsomeof his opponentsdisputed.Thearmy general and respected militarywriter Mikhail Dragomirov,in anarticlepublished inOruzheinySbornik(TheMilitary Almanac,1868-1870),whiledisputingsomeof Tolstoy'sideas concerningthe"spontaneity"of wars andtheroleof commander inbattles,advised all theRussianArmy officers to useWarandPeaceas theirdeskbook,describingits battlescenes as "incomparable"and "servingfor an ideal manual to everytextbookon theories of militaryart."[18] • Unlikeprofessional literary critics,mostprominentRussianwriters of thetimesupportedthenovel wholeheartedly. Goncharov,Turgenev,Leskov,DostoyevskyandFethaveall goneon recordas declaringWar and Peacethemasterpieceof theRussianliterature.IvanGoncharov ina July 17,1878,letter to PyotrGanzen advised himto choosefor translatinginto DanishWarandPeace,adding:"Thisis positivelywhatmightbecalleda RussianIlyad.Embracingthewholeepoch,itis thegrandioseliteraryevent,showcasingthegalleryof greatmen painted bya lively brushof thegreatmaster...This is oneof themost,if notthemost profoundliteraryworkever.[22] In 1879,unhappy with GanzenhavingchosenAnna Karenina to startwith,Goncharov insisted:"War and Peaceis theextraordinarypoemof a novel,both incontentand execution.Italsoserves asa monumentto Russianhistory'sglorious epochwhen whateverfigureyou takeis a colossus,a statuein bronze.Even [thenovel's] minorcharacters carry all thecharacteristicfeatures of theRussian peopleandits life."[23] In1885,expressing satisfactionwith thefactthatTolstoy'sworkshavenowbeen translated into Danish, Goncharov againstressed theimmenseimportanceof War andPeace."CountTolstoyreallymounts over everybodyelsehere[in Russia],"heremarked.[24] • FyodorDostoyevsky(in a May30,1871,letter to Strakhov) described WarandPeaceas "thelastword of thelandlord'sliteratureandthebrilliantoneatthat".In a draftversionof theTeenager novel hedescribedTolstoyas "a historiographof thedvoryanstvo,orrather,its cultural elite.""Theobjectivity and realismimpartwonderful charmto all scenes,andalongsidepeopleof talent,honouranddutyheexposes numerous scoundrels,worthlessgoons and fools,"headded.[25] In1876 Dostoyevskywrote:"My strongconvictionis thata writer of fictionhasto havemostprofoundknowledge - notonlyof thepoetic sideof hisart,butalso thereality hedeals with,inits historical as well ascontemporarycontext.Here[in Russia],as far asI seeit,only onewriter excels inthis,CountLev Tolstoy."[26] • Nikolai Leskov,then an anonymousreviewer in BirzhevyVestnik(TheStock ExchangeHerald),wroteseveral articles praisinghighly War and Peace,callingit"thebestever Russian historical novel"and"theprideof thecontemporaryliterature".Marvelingattherealismand factual truthfulnessof Tolstoy'sbook, Leskovthoughttheauthordeserved thespecial creditfor "havinglifted up thepeople's spiritupon thehigh pedestal itdeserved". "Whileworkingmostelaboratelyuponindividual characters,theauthor,apparently,hasbeen studyingmostdiligentlythecharacterof thenationas a whole;thelifeof peoplewhosemoral strength cameto beconcentrated intheArmy thatcameup to fightmighty Napoleon.In thisrespectthenovel of CountTolstoycouldbeseen as an epicof theGreatnational warwhich upuntil nowhashadits historiansbutnever had itssingers," Leskov wrote.[18] • Afanasy Fet,in a January1,1870,letter to Tolstoy,expressed hisgreatdelightwith thenovel."You'vemanaged to showus in greatdetail theother,mundanesideof lifeand explainhoworganically does itfeed theouter,heroic sideof it,"headded.[27] • Ivan Turgenev graduallyre-considered his initial skepticismas to thenovel’s historical aspectandalsothestyleof Tolstoy's psychological analysis.Inhis1880articlewritten in theformof a letter addressedto EdmondAbou,theeditorof theFrench newspaperLeXIX-eSiecle,TurgenevdescribedTolstoyas "themostpopularRussianwriter"and War andPeaceas "oneof themostremarkablebooks of ourage".[28] "Thisvastworkhasthespiritof an epic,wherethelifeof Russiaof thebeginningof our century ingeneral and indetails has been recreated bythehandof a truemaster...Themanner in which CountTolstoyconductshistreatiseis innovativeandoriginal.Thisis thegreatwork of a greatwriter,andin itthere’s true,real Russia,"Turgenevwrote.[29] Itwas largely dueto Turgenev'sefforts thatthenovel startedto gain popularitywith theEuropeanreadership.ThefirstFrench editionof theWar andPeace(1879) paved theway for theworldwidesuccess of Leo Tolstoy and hisworks.[18] • Sincethen many world famousauthorshavepraised Warand Peaceas a masterpieceof theworld literature. GustaveFlaubertexpressedhisdelightin a January1880letter to Turgenev,writing:"This isthefirstclasswork!Whatanartistand whata psychologist!Thefirsttwo volumes areexquisite.I used to utter shrieksof delightwhilereading.Thisispowerful, verypowerful indeed."[30] Later JohnGalsworthy called WarandPeace"thebestnovel thathadever been written".
