![]() “War and Peace,” like all of Count Tolstoi’s works, is a mighty protest against war. What landscapes you pass through, what populous towns, what gruesome defiles, what rapids, what cataracts! The water may be turbid, or it may flow translucent and pure, – but still it rushes on. Once embark upon it, and it is impossible to escape the onward force that moves you so relentlessly. These floating straws, insignificant in themselves, tell the current. On its surface, float swiftly by logs and stumps, cakes of ice, perhaps drowned cattle or men from regions far above. ![]() It always reminds the translator of a broad and mighty river flowing onward with all the majesty of Fate. ”War and Peace” is a panoramic novel: It is its own justification, and perhaps needs no introduction.
