The Rostovs personify the Russian spirit. Count Rostov, a generous, kind spendthrift, can deny his family nothing. His countess is a warm, loving, overindulged woman. These characteristics are reflected in their children, while the austere Bolkonskys are duty- bound. As normal human beings do, the three main characters grow, expand, and change over the course of fifteen years (1805-1820) beginning when Natasha Rostov is a young girl. It is a joy to watch her evolve into a beautiful, mature woman who loves two men: Prince Andrey Bolkonsky, an elegant, aristocratic army officer, and his friend, Count Pierre Bezukhov, a bear of a man who seeks answers to life in Freemasonry, mysticism, and superstition, and finally finding them in the philosophy of Platon Karatayev, an illiterate peasant soldier. Andrey and Pierre argue the plight of the peasants, the rights of the aristocracy, and the merits of war, mirroring Tolstoy's own reflections. The main focus is Napoleon's invasion of Russia and his ignominious retreat. 538 Mode of access: World Wide Web. 650 0 Napoleonic Wars, 1800-1815|xCampaigns|zRussia|vFiction. 651 0 Russia|xHistory|yAlexander I, 1801-1825|vFiction. 655 7 War stories.|2gsafd 700 1 Taylor-Carr, Cyril. 700 1 The Cliff, . 710 2 hoopla digital. 856 40 |uhttps://www.hoopladigital.com/title/ 15336008?utm_source=MARC|zInstantly available on hoopla. 856 42 |zCover image|uhttps://d2snwnmzyr8jue.cloudfront.net/ aut_9798887673394_180.jpeg
