Our ‘fight of flight’ response is something hardwired into the primitive part of our brain. Our need to survive, to outlive whatever danger poses, that immediate threat to our lives is little short of a marvel. Everything else is abandoned in order to survive.

In this volume people struggle valiantly to survive and to exist no matter the extent of the threat they face.

"Che cosa è Guerra e Pace? Non è romanzo, non poema, tanto meno cronaca storica. E’ semplicemente ciò che l’autore intese dire in quella precisa forma in cui l’ha detto.” Ecco le parle che dice Tolstoj nel poscritto alla fine dell’opera, non avendo avuto , a detta sua, “né il tempo né la capacità” di scrivere una prefazione per dichiarare lo scopo prefissosi. Lasciando quindi al lettore/ascoltatore il gradito onere di farsi da sé una sua opinione, si può dire soltanto che questo romanzo occupò cinque anni di lavoro continuo dell’autore....

The diary is that most intimate of journals, of records. Within its pages the writer records and gives expression to their thoughts, their feelings, their emotional state on all the things that make up and surround them in this world. With authors of the calibre of Bulgakov, Woolf, Tolstoy, Twain and many others this volume explores characters whose lives seem dominated by these diaries, and the events that unfold are both compelling and literary journeys into the very personal and intimate side of their characters’ lives.

Iz sosednej svetloj komnatki slyshatsja golosa treh uzhinajushhih molodyh ljudej. Oni sidjat v komnate okolo stola, na kotorom stojat ostatki uzhina i vina.

Whatever Tolstoy wrote he addresses the voice that lies in the bottom of human soul, and using passionate word or bright images, full of truth, makes this voice sound firm and long. It explains the popularity of his name and his works far more than borders of Russia and the attention that he wakes up in Western Europe and America by his works.

L'immensité de la steppe, l'avidité et la fatuité française précipitent la Grande Armée vers la défaite. Koutousov, en fin stratège, ne fait qu'accompagner la décomposition de l'adversaire. À la suite de plusieurs défaites dues à une totale impréparation, les Français n'ont d'autre choix que de quitter Moscou et de se replier dans le plus grand désordre, harcelés par des groupes de partisans, suivis de près par les troupes russes et abandonnés par leur empereur.
