【世界名著】WarAndPeace(战争与和平)英文版WAR AND PEACEby Leo TolstoyBOOK ONE: 1805 CHAPTER I"Well, Prince, so Genoa and Lucca are now just family estates of the Buonapartes. But I warn you, if you don't tell me that this means war, if you still try to defend the infamies and horrors perpetrated bythat Antichrist- I really believe he is Antichrist- I will havenothing more to do with you and you are no longer my friend, no longer my 'faithful slave,' as you call yourself! But how do you do? I seeI have frightened you- sit down and tell me all the news."It was in July, 1805, and the speaker was the well-known Anna Pavlovna scherer, maid of honor and favorite of the Empress Marya Fedorovna. With these words she greeted Prince Vasili Kuragin, a man of high rank and importance, who was the first to arrive at her reception. Anna Pavlovna had had a cough for some days. she was, as she said, suffering from la grippe; grippe being then a new word inst. Petersburg, used only by the elite.All her invitations without exception, written in French, anddelivered by a scarlet-liveried footman that morning, ran as follows: "If you have nothing better to do, Count [or Prince], and if the prospect of spending an evening with a poor invalid is not too terrible, I shall be very charmed to see you tonight between 7 and 10- Annette scherer.""Heavens! what a virulent attack!" replied the prince, not in the least disconcerted by this reception. He had just entered, wearingan embroidered court uniform, knee breeches, and shoes, and had stars on his breast and a serene expression on his flat face. He spokein that refined French in which our grandfathers not only spoke but thought, and with the gentle, patronizing intonation natural to aman of importance who had grown old in society and at court. He went up to Anna Pavlovna, kissed her hand, presenting to her his bald, scented, and shining head, and complacently seated himself on the sofa."First of all, dear friend, tell me how you are. set your friend'smind at rest," said he without altering his tone, beneath the politeness and affected sympathy of which indifference and even irony could be discerned."Can one be well while suffering morally? Can one be calm in times like these if one has any feeling?" said Anna Pavlovna. "You are staying the whole evening, I hope?""And the fete at the English ambassador's? Today is Wednesday. I must put in an appearance there," said the prince. "My daughter is coming for me to take me there.""I thought today's fete had been canceled. I confess all these festivities and fireworks are becoming wearisome.""If they had known that you wished it, the entertainment would have been put off," said the prince, who, like a wound-up clock, by force of habit said things he did not even wish to be believed."Don't tease! Well, and what has been decided about Novosiltsev's dispatch? You know everything.""What can one say about it?" replied the prince in a cold,listless tone. "What has been decided? They have decided that Buonaparte has burnt his boats, and I believe that we are ready to burn ours."Prince Vasili always spoke languidly, like an actor repeating astale part. Anna Pavlovna scherer on the contrary, despite her forty years, overflowed with animation and impulsiveness. To be an enthusiast had become her social vocation and, sometimes even when shedid not feel like it, she became enthusiastic in order not to disappoint the expectations of those who knew her. The subdued smile which, though it did not suit her faded features, always playedround her lips expressed, as in a spoiled child, a continual consciousness of her charming defect, which she neither wished, nor could, nor considered it necessary, to correct.In the midst of a conversation on political matters Anna Pavlovna burst out:"Oh, don't speak to me of Austria. Perhaps I don't understand things, but Austria never has wished, and does not wish, for war.she is betraying us! Russia alone must save Europe. Our gracious sovereign recognizes his high vocation and will be true to it. That isthe one thing I have faith in! Our good and wonderful sovereign has to perform the noblest role on earth, and he is so virtuous and noblethat God will not forsake him. He will fulfill his vocation andcrush the hydra of revolution, which has become more terrible than ever in the person of this murderer and villain! We alone must avenge the blood of the just one.... Whom, I ask you, can we rely on?... England with her commercial spirit will not and cannot understand the Emperor Alexander's loftiness of soul. she has refused to evacuate Malta. she wanted to find, and still seeks, some secret motive in our actions. What answer did Novosiltsev get? None. The English have not understood and cannot understand theself-abnegation of our Emperor who wants nothing for himself, but only desires the good of mankind. And what have they promised? Nothing!Andwhat little they have promised they will not perform! Prussia has always declared that Buonaparte is invincible, and that all Europeis powerless before him.... And I don't believe a word that Hardenburg says, or Haugwitz either. This famous Prussian neutrality is just a trap. I have faith only in God and the lofty destiny of our adored monarch. He will save Europe!"she suddenly paused, smiling at her own impetuosity."I think," said the prince with a smile, "that if you had beensent instead of our dear Wintzingerode you would have captured the King of Prussia's consent by assault. You are so eloquent. Will yougive me a cup of tea?""In a moment. A propos," she added, becoming calm again, "I am expecting two very interesting men tonight, le Vicomte de Mortemart, who is connected with the Montmorencys through the Rohans, one of the best French families. He is one of the genuine emigres, the good ones. And also the Abbe Morio. Do you know that profound thinker? He has been received by the Emperor. Had you heard?""I shall be delighted to meet them," said the prince. "But tell me," he added with studied carelessness as if it had only just occurredto him, though the question he was about to ask was the chief motive of his visit, "is it true that the Dowager Empress wants Baron Funketo be appointed first secretary at Vienna? The baron by all accountsis a poor creature."Prince Vasili wished to obtain this post for his son, but otherswere trying through the Dowager Empress Marya Fedorovna to secure it for the baron.Anna Pavlovna almost closed her eyes to indicate that neither she nor anyone else had a right to criticize what the Empress desired or was pleased with."Baron Funke has been recommended to the Dowager Empress by her sister," was all she said, in a dry and mournful tone.As she named the Empress, Anna Pavlovna's face suddenly assumed anexpression of profound and sincere devotion and respect mingled with sadness, and this occurred every time she mentioned her illustrious patroness. she added that Her Majesty had deigned to show Baron Funke beaucoup d'estime, and again her face clouded over with sadness. The prince was silent and looked indifferent. But, with the womanly and courtierlike quickness and tact habitual to her, Anna Pavlovna wished both to rebuke him (for daring to speak he had done of a man recommended to the Empress) and at the same time to console him,so she said:"Now about your family. Do you know that since your daughter came out everyone has been enraptured by her? They say she is amazingly beautiful."The prince bowed to signify his respect and gratitude."I often think," she continued after a short pause, drawing nearerto the prince and smiling amiably at him as if to show thatpolitical and social topics were ended and the time had come for intimate conversation- "I often think how unfairly sometimes thejoys of life are distributed. Why has fate given you two such splendid children? I don't speak of Anatole, your youngest. I don't like him," she added in a tone admitting of no rejoinder and raising her eyebrows. "Two such charming children. And really you appreciate them less than anyone, and so you don't deserve to have them."And she smiled her ecstatic smile."I can't help it," said the prince. "Lavater would have said Ilack the bump of paternity.""Don't joke; I mean to have a serious talk with you. Do you know I am dissatisfied with your younger son? Between ourselves" (and her face assumed its melancholy expression), "he was mentioned at Her Majesty's and you were pitied...."The prince answered nothing, but she looked at him significantly, awaiting a reply. He frowned."What would you have me do?" he said at last. "You know I did all a father could for their education, and they have both turned out fools. Hippolyte is at least a quiet fool, but Anatole is an active one. That is the only difference between them." He said this smiling in a way more natural and animated than usual, so that the wrinkles round his mouth very clearly revealed something unexpectedly coarse and unpleasant."And why are children born to such men as you? If you were not a father there would be nothing I could reproach you with," said Anna Pavlovna, looking up pensively."I am your faithful slave and to you alone I can confess that my children are the bane of my life. It is the cross I have to bear. Thatis how I explain it to myself. It can't be helped!"He said no more, but expressed his resignation to cruel fate by a gesture. Anna Pavlovna meditated."Have you never thought of marrying your prodigal son Anatole?" she asked. "They say old maids have a mania for matchmaking, and though I don't feel that weakness in myself as yet,I know a little person who is very unhappy with her father. she is a relation of yours, Princess Mary Bolkonskaya."Prince Vasili did not reply, though, with the quickness of memory and perception befitting a man of the world, he indicated by amovement of the head that he was considering this information. "Do you know," he said at last, evidently unable to check the sad current of his thoughts, "that Anatole is costing me forty thousand rubles a year? And," he went on after a pause, "what will it be infive years, if he goes on like this?" Presently he added: "That's what we fathers have to put up with.... Is this princess of yours rich?" "Her father is very rich and stingy. He lives in the country. Heis the well-known Prince Bolkonski who had to retire from the army under the late Emperor, and was nicknamed 'the King of Prussia.' He is very clever but eccentric, and a bore. The poor girl is very unhappy. she has a brother; I think you know him, he married Lise Meinen lately. He is an aide-de-camp of Kutuzov's and will be here tonight.""Listen, dear Annette," said the prince, suddenly taking Anna Pavlovna's hand and for some reason drawing it downwards. "Arrange that affair for me and I shall always be your most devoted slave- slafe wigh an f, as a village elder of mine writes in his reports. sheis rich and of good family and that's all I want."And with the familiarity and easy grace peculiar to him, he raised the maid of honor's hand to his lips, kissed it, and swung it to andfro as he lay back in his armchair, looking in another direction. "Attendez," said Anna Pavlovna, reflecting, "I'll speak to Lise,young Bolkonski's wife, this very evening, and perhaps the thing can be arranged. It shall be on your family's behalf that I'll start my apprenticeship as old maid."BK1|CH2CHAPTER IIAnna Pavlovna's drawing room was gradually filling. The highest Petersburg society was assembled there: people differing widely in age and character but alike in the social circle to which they belonged. Prince Vasili's daughter, the beautiful Helene, came to take herfather to the ambassador's entertainment; she wore a ball dress and her badge as maid of honor. The youthful little Princess Bolkonskaya, known as la femme la plus seduisante de Petersbourg,* wasalso there. she had been married during the previous winter, and being pregnant did not go to any large gatherings, but only to small receptions. Prince Vasili's son, Hippolyte, had come with Mortemart, whom he introduced. The Abbe Morio and many others had also come. *The most fascinating woman in Petersburg.To each new arrival Anna Pavlovna said, "You have not yet seen my aunt," or "You do not know my aunt?" and very gravely conducted him orher to a little old lady, wearing large bows of ribbon in her cap, whohad come sailing in from another room as soon as the guests began to arrive; and slowly turning her eyes from the visitor to her aunt, Anna Pavlovna mentioned each one's name and then left them.Each visitor performed the ceremony of greeting this old aunt whom not one of them knew, not one of them wanted to know, and not one of them cared about; Anna Pavlovna observed these greetings with mournfuland solemn interest and silent approval. The aunt spoke to each of them in the same words, about their health and her own, and the health of Her Majesty, "who, thank God, was better today." And each visitor, though politeness prevented his showing impatience, leftthe old woman with a sense of relief at having performed a vexatious duty and did not return to her the whole evening.The young Princess Bolkonskaya had brought some work in agold-embroidered velvet bag. Her pretty little upper lip, on which a delicate dark down was just perceptible, was too short for herteeth, but it lifted all the more sweetly, and was especially charming when she occasionally drew it down to meet the lower lip. As is always the case with a thoroughly attractive woman, her defect- the shortness of her upper lip and her half-open mouth- seemed to be her own special and peculiar form of beauty. Everyone brightened at the sight ofthis pretty young woman, so soon to become a mother, so full of lifeand health, and carrying her burden so lightly. Old men and dull dispirited young ones who looked at her, after being in her company and talking to her a little while, felt as if they too werebecoming, like her, full of life and health. All who talked to her,and at each word saw her bright smile and the constant gleam of her white teeth, thought that they were in a specially amiable mood that day.The little princess went round the table with quick, short, swaying steps, her workbag on her arm, and gaily spreading out her dress sat down on a sofa near the silver samovar, as if all she was doing was a pleasure to herself and to all around her. "I have brought my work," said she in French, displaying her bag and addressing all present. "Mind, Annette, I hope you have not played a wicked trickon me," she added, turning to her hostess. "You wrote that it was to be quite a small reception, and just see how badly I am dressed."And she spread out her arms to show her short-waisted, lace-trimmed, dainty gray dress, girdled with a broad ribbon just below the breast. "soyez tranquille, Lise, you will always be prettier than anyone else," replied Anna Pavlovna."You know," said the princess in the same tone of voice and still in French, turning to a general, "my husband is deserting me? He is going to get himself killed. Tell me what this wretched war is for?" sheadded, addressing Prince Vasili, and without waiting for an answer she turned to speak to his daughter, the beautiful Helene."What a delightful woman this little princess is!" said PrinceVasili to Anna Pavlovna.One of the next arrivals was a stout, heavily built young man with close-cropped hair, spectacles, the light-colored breeches fashionable at that time, a very high ruffle, and a brown dress coat. This stout young man was an illegitimate son of Count Bezukhov, a well-known grandee of Catherine's time who now lay dying in Moscow. The young manhad not yet entered either the military or civil service, as he hadonly just returned from abroad where he had been educated, and this was his first appearance in society. Anna Pavlovna greeted him with the nod she accorded to the lowest hierarchy in her drawing room. But in spite of this lowest-grade greeting, a look of anxiety and fear, as at the sight of something too large and unsuited to the place, came over her face when she saw Pierre enter. Though he was certainly rather bigger than the other men in the room, her anxiety could only have reference to the clever though shy, but observant and natural, expression which distinguished him from everyone else in that drawing room."It is very good of you, Monsieur Pierre, to come and visit a poorinvalid," said Anna Pavlovna, exchanging an alarmed glance with her aunt as she conducted him to her.Pierre murmured something unintelligible, and continued to look round as if in search of something. On his way to the aunt he bowed to the little princess with a pleased smile, as to an intimate acquaintance.Anna Pavlovna's alarm was justified, for Pierre turned away from the aunt without waiting to hear her speech about Her Majesty's health. Anna Pavlovna in dismay detained him with the words: "Do you know the Abbe Morio? He is a most interesting man.""Yes, I have heard of his scheme for perpetual peace, and it is very interesting but hardly feasible.""You think so?" rejoined Anna Pavlovna in order to say something and get away to attend to her duties as hostess. But Pierre now committed a reverse act of impoliteness. First he had left a ladybefore she had finished speaking to him, and now he continued to speak to another who wished to get away. With his head bent, and his big feet spread apart, he began explaining his reasons for thinking the abbe's plan chimerical."We will talk of it later," said Anna Pavlovna with a smile.And having got rid of this young man who did not know how to behave,she resumed her duties as hostess and continued to listen and watch, ready to help at any point where the conversation might happen to flag. As the foreman of a spinning mill, when he has set the handsto work, goes round and notices here a spindle that has stopped or there one that creaks or makes more noise than it should, and hastens to check the machine or set it in proper motion, so Anna Pavlovna moved about her drawing room, approaching now a silent, now atoo-noisy group, and by a word or slight rearrangement kept the conversational machine in steady, proper, and regular motion. But amid these cares her anxiety about Pierre was evident. she kept ananxious watch on him when he approached the group round Mortemart tolisten to what was being said there, and again when he passed to another group whose center was the abbe.Pierre had been educated abroad, and this reception at Anna Pavlovna's was the first he had attended in Russia. He knew that allthe intellectual lights of Petersburg were gathered there and, likea child in a toyshop, did not know which way to look, afraid ofmissing any clever conversation that was to be heard. seeing theself-confident and refined expression on the faces of those present he was always expecting to hear something very profound. At last hecame up to Morio. Here the conversation seemed interesting and he stood waiting for an opportunity to express his own views, as young people are fond of doing.BK1|CH3CHAPTER IIIAnna Pavlovna's reception was in full swing. The spindles hummed steadily and ceaselessly on all sides. With the exception of the aunt, beside whom sat only one elderly lady, who with her thin careworn face was rather out of place in this brilliant society, the whole companyhad settled into three groups. One, chiefly masculine, had formed round the abbe. Another, of young people, was grouped round the beautiful Princess Helene, Prince Vasili's daughter, and the little Princess Bolkonskaya, very pretty and rosy, though rather too plump for her age. The third group was gathered round Mortemart and Anna Pavlovna.The vicomte was a nice-looking young man with soft features and polished manners, who evidently considered himself a celebrity but out of politeness modestly placed himself at the disposal of the circle in which he found himself. Anna Pavlovna was obviously serving him up as a treat to her guests. As a clever maitre d'hotel serves up as a specially choice delicacy a piece of meat that no one who had seenit in the kitchen would have cared to eat, so Anna Pavlovna servedup to her guests, first the vicomte and then the abbe, as peculiarly choice morsels. The group about Mortemart immediately began discussingthe murder of the Duc d'Enghien. The vicomte said that the Ducd'Enghien had perished by his own magnanimity, and that there were particular reasons for Buonaparte's hatred of him."Ah, yes! Do tell us all about it, Vicomte," said Anna Pavlovna,with a pleasant feeling that there was something a la Louis XV inthe sound of that sentence: "Contez nous cela, Vicomte."The vicomte bowed and smiled courteously in token of his willingness to comply. Anna Pavlovna arranged a group round him, inviting everyone to listen to his tale."The vicomte knew the duc personally," whispered Anna Pavlovna to ofthe guests. "The vicomte is a wonderful raconteur," said she to another. "How evidently he belongs to the best society," said she to a third; and the vicomte was served up to the company in the choicest and most advantageous style, like a well-garnished joint of roast beef on a hot dish.The vicomte wished to begin his story and gave a subtle smile. "Come over here, Helene, dear," said Anna Pavlovna to the beautiful young princess who was sitting some way off, the center ofanother group.The princess smiled. she rose with the same unchanging smile with which she had first entered the room- the smile of a perfectly beautiful woman. With a slight rustle of her white dress trimmedwith moss and ivy, with a gleam of white shoulders, glossy hair, and sparkling diamonds, she passed between the men who made way for her,not looking at any of them but smiling on all, as if graciouslyallowing each the privilege of admiring her beautiful figure and shapely shoulders, back, and bosom- which in the fashion of those days were very much exposed- and she seemed to bring the glamour of a ballroom with her as she moved toward Anna Pavlovna. Helene was so lovely that not only did she not show any trace of coquetry, but onthe contrary she even appeared shy of her unquestionable and all too victorious beauty. she seemed to wish, but to be unable, to diminish its effect."How lovely!" said everyone who saw her; and the vicomte lifted his shoulders and dropped his eyes as if startled by something extraordinary when she took her seat opposite and beamed upon him alsowith her unchanging smile."Madame, I doubt my ability before such an audience," said he,smilingly inclining his head.The princess rested her bare round arm on a little table and considered a reply unnecessary. she smilingly waited. All the time the story was being told she sat upright, glancing now at her beautiful round arm, altered in shape by its pressure on the table, now at her still more beautiful bosom, on which she readjusted a diamond necklace. From time to time she smoothed the folds of her dress, and whenever the story produced an effect she glanced at Anna Pavlovna, at once adopted just the expression she saw on the maid of honor's face, and again relapsed into her radiant smile.The little princess had also left the tea table and followed Helene. "Wait a moment, I'll get my work.... Now then, what are you thinking of?" she went on, turning to Prince Hippolyte. "Fetch me my workbag." There was a general movement as the princess, smiling and talking merrily to everyone at once, sat down and gaily arranged herself inher seat."Now I am all right," she said, and asking the vicomte to begin, she took up her work.Prince Hippolyte, having brought the workbag, joined the circleand moving a chair close to hers seated himself beside her.Le charmant Hippolyte was surprising by his extraordinary resemblance to his beautiful sister, but yet more by the fact thatin spite of this resemblance he was exceedingly ugly. His features were like his sister's, but while in her case everything was lit up bya joyous, self-satisfied, youthful, and constant smile of animation, and by the wonderful classic beauty of her figure, his face on the contrary was dulled by imbecility and a constant expression of sullen self-confidence, while his body was thin and weak. His eyes, nose, and mouth all seemed puckered into a vacant, wearied grimace, and his arms and legs always fell into unnatural positions."It's not going to be a ghost story?" said he, sitting down beside the princess and hastily adjusting his lorgnette, as if without this instrument he could not begin to speak."Why no, my dear fellow," said the astonished narrator, shrugging his shoulders."Because I hate ghost stories," said Prince Hippolyte in a tone which showed that he only understood the meaning of his words after hehad uttered them.He spoke with such self-confidence that his hearers could not be sure whether what he said was very witty or very stupid. He was dressed in a dark-green dress coat, knee breeches of the color of cuisse de nymphe effrayee, as he called it, shoes, and silk stockings. The vicomte told his tale very neatly. It was an anecdote, thencurrent, to the effect that the Duc d'Enghien had gone secretly to Paris to visit Mademoiselle George; that at her house he came upon Bonaparte, who also enjoyed the famous actress' favors, and that in his presence Napoleon happened to fall into one of the fainting fitsto which he was subject, and was thus at the duc's mercy. The latter spared him, and this magnanimity Bonaparte subsequently repaid by death.The story was very pretty and interesting, especially at the point where the rivals suddenly recognized one another; and the ladies looked agitated."Charming!" said Anna Pavlovna with an inquiring glance at the little princess."Charming!" whispered the little princess, sticking the needleinto her work as if to testify that the interest and fascination ofthe story prevented her from going on with it.The vicomte appreciated this silent praise and smiling gratefully prepared to continue, but just then Anna Pavlovna, who had kept a watchful eye on the young man who so alarmed her, noticed that he was talking too loudly and vehemently with the abbe, so she hurried to the rescue. Pierre had managed to start a conversation with the abbe about the balance of power, and the latter, evidently interested bythe young man's simple-minded eagerness, was explaining his pet。

战争与和平War And PeaceWar and Peace (Russian: Война и мир, Voyna i mir) is a novel by Leo Tolstoy, first published from 1865 to 1869 in Russkii Vestnik (Russian: Русский Вестник, "Russian Messenger"), which tells the story of Russian society during the Napoleonic Era. It is usually described as one of Tolstoy's two major masterpieces (the other being Anna Karenina) as well as one of the world's greatest novels.War and Peace offered a new kind of fiction, with a great many characters caught up in a plot that covered nothing less than the grand subjects indicated by the title, combined with the equally large topics of youth, marriage, age, and death. Though it is often called a novel today, it broke so many conventions of the form that it was not considered a novel in its time. Indeed, Tolstoy himself considered Anna Karenina (1878) to be his first attempt at a novel in the European sense.War and Peace depicts a huge cast of characters, both historical and fictional, Russians and non-Russians, the majority of whom are introduced in the first book. The scope of the novel is extremely vast, but the narration focuses mainly on five or six characters whose differing personalities and experiences provide the impetus to the story, with mutual interactions leading up to, around and following the Napoleonic war.Book oneThe novel begins in the Russian city of Saint Petersburg, at a soirée given in July 1805 by Anna Pavlovna Scherer — the maid of honour and confidante to the queen mother Maria Feodorovna. The main players and aristocratic families of the novel are made known here. Pierre Bezukhov is the illegitimate son of a wealthy count who is dying of a stroke. Pierre becomes unexpectedly embroiled in a tussle for his inheritance. Educated abroad in France, with his mother dead, Pierre is essentially kindhearted, but is socially awkward owing to his goodhearted, open nature, and finds it difficult to integrate into the Petersburg society.Pierre's friend, the intelligent and sardonic Prince Andrei Bolkonsky, the husband of a charming wife Lise, also visits the soireé. Finding Petersburg society unctuous and starting to find married life little comfort as well, he chooses to be an aide-de-camp to Prince Mikhail Kutuzov in their coming war against Napoleon.Tolstoy then switches to Moscow, Russia's ancient city, as a contrast to Saint Petersburg. The Rostov family will be one of the main narrative players of the novel. The Moscow Count Ilya Rostov family has four adolescent children. Young Natasha is supposedly in love with Boris, a disciplined boyish officer and a relative. Nikolai pledges his teenage love to Sonya, his younger cousin. The eldest child of the Rostov family, Vera, is cold and somewhat haughty but has a good prospective marriage in a German officer, Berg. Petya is the youngest of the Rostov family; like his brother he is impetuous and eager to join the army when of age. The heads of the family, Count Ilya Rostov and Countess Natalya Rostova, are an affectionate couple but forever worriedabout their disordered finances.At Bald Hills, the Bolkonskys' country estate, Prince Andrei leaves his pregnant wife with his eccentric father Prince Nikolai Andreivitch Bolkonsky and devoutly religious sister Maria Bolkonskaya. He leaves for war.The first page of War and Peace in an early editionThe second part opens with descriptions of the impending Russian-French war preparations. At the Schngrabern engagement, Nikolai Rostov, who is now conscripted as ensign in a squadron of hussars, has his first baptism of fire in battle. He meets Prince Andrei whom he does not really like. Like all young soldiers he is attracted by Tsar Alexandr’s charisma. However Nikolai gambles recklessly and socializes with the lisping Denisov and the ruthless Dolokhov.Book TwoBook Two begins with Nikolai Rostov briefly returning home to Moscow on home leave in early 1806. Nikolai finds the Rostov family facing financial ruin due to poor estate management. With Denisov he spends an eventful winter home. Natasha has blossomed into a beautiful young girl. Denisov proposes to her but is rejected. Although his mother pleads with Nikolai to find himself a good financial prospect in marriage, Nikolai refuses to accede to his mother's request. He promises to marry his childhood sweetheart, the orphaned, penniless cousin Sonya.If there is a central character to War and Peace it is Pierre Bezukhov, who, upon receiving an unexpected inheritance, is suddenly burdened with the responsibilities and conflicts of a Russian nobleman. He then enters into marriage with Prince Kuragin's beautiful and immoral daughter Hélène (lena), against his own better judgement. He is continually helpless in the faceof his wife's numerous affairs, has a duel with one of her lovers, and is faced with anguish as all this happens. He later joins the Freemasons but becomes embroiled in some of the Freemasonry's politicking. Much of Book Two concerns his struggles with his passions and his spiritual conflicts to be a better man. Now a rich aristocrat, his former carefree behavior vanishes and he enters upon a philosophical quest particular to Tolstoy: how should one live a moral life in an ethically imperfect world? The question constantly baffles and confuses Pierre. He attempts to free his peasants, but ultimately achieves nothing of note.Pierre is vividly contrasted with the intelligent and ambitious Prince Andrei Bolkonsky. At the Battle of Austerlitz, Andrei is inspired by a vision of glory to lead a charge of a straggling army. He suffers a near fatal artillery wound which renders him unconscious. At the face of death Andrei realizes all his former ambitions are pointless and his former hero, Napoleon (who rescues him in a horseback excursion to the battlefield), is apparently as vain as himself.Prince Andrei recovers from his injuries in a military hospital, and returns home, only to find his wife Lise dying during childbirth. He is struck by his guilty conscience for not treating Lise better when she was alive.Burdened with nihilistic disillusionment, Prince Andrei lives anonymously in his estate until he is led to a philosophical argument with Pierre one day. When Pierre visits his estate he poses the question: where is God in this amoral world? Pierre points to panentheism and an afterlife.Young Natasha meets Andrei during her very first ball, and briefly reinvigorates Andrei with her lively vitality. Andrei believeshe has found purpose in life again. However the couple's immediate plan to marry has to be postponed with a year-long engagement.When Prince Andrei leaves for his military engagements, Elena and her handsome brother Anatole conspire for Anatole to seduce and dishonor the young, still immature and now beautiful Natasha Rostova. They bait her with plans of an elopement. Thanks to Sonya and Pierre, this plan fails, yet, for Pierre, it is the cause of an important meeting with Natasha. He realizes he has now fallen in love with Natasha. During the time when the Great Comet of 1811–2 streaks the sky, life appears to begin anew for Pierre.Book ThreeNatasha breaks off her engagement with Andrei. Shamed by her near-seduction, she has a very serious illness and, with the help of her family; Pierre; and religious faith, manages to tide through this dark period of her life.Meanwhile the whole of Russia is affected by the coming showdown between Napoleon's troops and the Russian army. Pierre convinces himself Napoleon is the Antichrist in Revelation through numerology. The old prince Bolkonsky dies from a stroke. In Moscow, Petya manages to snatch a loose piece of the Tsar's biscuit outside the Cathedral of the Assumption; he finally convinces his parents to allow him to conscript.Meanwhile Nikolai unexpectedly acts as a white knight to the beleaguered Maria Bolkonskaya, whose father's death has left her in the mercy of an estate of hostile, rebelling peasants. Struck by Maria, whom he is seeing for the first time, Nikolai reconsiders marriage and finds Maria's devotion, consideration, and inheritance extremely attractive. But he is restricted by his earlier,youthful pledge to Sonya, and hesitates to woo Maria.As Napoleon pushes through Russia, Pierre decides to leave Moscow and to watch the Battle of Borodino from a vantage point next to a Russian artillery crew. After watching for a time, he begins to join in carrying ammunition. From within the turmoil he experiences first-hand the death and destruction of war. The battle becomes a horrible slaughter for both armies and ends up a standoff. The Russians, however, have won a moral victory by standing up to Napoleon's seemingly invincible army. Having suffered huge losses and for strategic reasons, the Russian army withdraws the next day, allowing Napoleon to march on to Moscow.Book FourBook Four climaxes Napoleon's invasion of Russia. When Napoleon's Grand Army occupies an abandoned and burning Moscow, Pierre takes off on a quixotic mission to assassinate Napoleon. He becomes an anonymous man in all the chaos, shedding his responsibilities by wearing peasant clothes and shunning his duties and lifestyle. The only person he sees while in this garb is Natasha, who recognizes him, and he in turn realizes the full scope of his love for her.His plan fails, and he is captured in Napoleon's headquarters as a prisoner of war after saving a child from a burning building and assaulting a French legionnaire for attacking a woman. He becomes friends with his cell-mate Platòn Karataev, a peasant with a saintly demeanor, who is incapable of malice. In Karataev Pierre finally finds what he is looking for, an honest, "rounded" person who is totally without pretense. Karataev is unlike those from the Petersburg aristocratic society, and also notably a member of the working class, with whom Pierre finds meaning inlife simply by living and interacting with him. After witnessing French soldiers sacking Moscow and shooting Russian civilians arbitrarily, Pierre is forced to march with the Grand Army during its disastrous retreat from Moscow owing to the harsh winter. After months of trial and tribulation — during which Karataev is capriciously shot by the French —Pierre is later freed by a Russian raiding party after a small skirmish with the French that sees the young Petya Rostov killed in action.Meanwhile Andrei, wounded during Napoleon’s invasion, is taken in as a casualty cared for by the fleeing Rostovs. He is reunited with Natasha and sister Maria before the end of the war. Having lost all will to live after forgiving Natasha, he dies, much like the death scene at the end of The Death of Ivan Ilych.As the novel draws to a close, Pi erre’s wife Elena dies (sometime during the last throes of Napoleon’s invasion); and Pierre is reunited with Natasha, while the victorious Russians rebuild Moscow. Natasha speaks of Prince Andrei’s death and Pierre of Karataev’s. Both are aware of a growin g bond with each other in their bereavement. Matchmade by Princess Marya, Pierre finds love at last and, revealing his love after being released from his former wife’s death, marries Natasha.EpiloguesThe first epilogue begins with the wedding of Pierre and Natasha, in 1813. It is the last happy event for the Rostov family which is going through a transition. Count Ilya Rostov dies soon after, leaving the eldest son Nikolai to take charge of the debt-ridden estate.Nikolai finds himself with the near-impossible task of maintaining the family on the verge of bankruptcy. His pride almost gets in the way of him, but Nikolai finally accedes to hismother's wish and marries the now-rich Marya Bolkonskaya in winter 1813, both out of feeling and out of the necessity to save his family from ruin.Nikolai Rostov and Marya then move to Bald Hills with his mother and Sonya, whom he supports for the rest of their life. Buoyed on by his wife's funds, Nikolai pays off all his family's debts. They also raise Prince Andrei's orphaned son, Nikolai Bolkonsky.Like in all marriages there are minor squabbles but the couples –Pierre and Natasha, Nikolai and Marya –remain devoted to their spouses. Pierre and Natasha visit Bald Hills in 1820, much to the jubilation of everyone concerned. There is a hint in the closing chapters that the idealistic, boyish Nikolai Bolkonsky (15-year-old in 1820) and Pierre would both become part of the Decembrist Uprising. The first epilogue concludes with Nikolai Bolkonsky promising he would do something which even his late father "would be satisfied…" (presumably as a revolutionary in the Decembrist revolt).The second epilogue sums up T olstoy’s views on history, free will and in what ways the two may interact to cause major events in humankind. in a long, partially historical and partly philosophical essay, where the narrator discusses how man cannot be wholly free, or wholly determined by "necessity" and this is primarily down to God.Tolstoy's view of historyTolstoy does not subscribe to the "great man" view of history: the notion that history is the story of strong personalities that move events and shape societies. He believes that events shape themselves, caused by social and other forces; and great men take advantage of them, changing them but not creating them.As an example, he compares Napoleon and Kutuzov. Napoleon, the Great Man, thought he had created the French Revolution, but actually he had simply happened along at the right time and usurped it. Kutuzov was more modest and more effective.Napoleon believed that he could control the course of a battle through sending orders through couriers, while Kutuzov admits that all he could do was to plan the initial disposition and then let subordinates direct the field of action. Typically, Napoleon would be frantically sending out orders throughout the course of a battle, carried by dashing young lieutenants—which were often misinterpreted or made irrelevant by changing conditions—while Kutuzov would sit quietly in his tent and often sleep through the battle. Ultimately, Napoleon chooses wrongly, opting to march on to Moscow and occupy it for five fatal weeks, when he would have been better off destroying the Russian army in a decisive battle. Instead, his numerically superior army dissipate on a huge scale, thanks to large scale looting and pillaging, and lack of direction for his force. General Kutuzov believes time to be his best ally, and refrains from engaging the French. He moves his army out of Moscow, and the residents evacuate the city: the nobles flee to their country estates, taking their treasures with them; lesser folk flee wherever they can, taking food and supplies. The French march into Moscow and disperse to find housing and supplies, then ultimately destroy themselves as they accidentally burn the city to the ground and then abandon it in late Fall, then limp back toward the French border in the teeth of a Russian Winter. They are all but destroyed by a final Cossack attack as they straggle back toward the west. Tolstoy observes that Kutuzuv didn't burn Moscow as a "scorched earth policy," nor did Napoleon; but after taking the city,Napoleon moved his troops in, to find housing more or less by chance in the abandoned houses: generals appropriated the grander houses, lesser men took what was left over; units were dispersed, and the chain of command dissolved into chaos. Quickly, his tightly disciplined army dissolved into a disorganized rabble; and of course, if one leaves a wooden city in the hands of strangers who naturally use fire to warm themselves, cook food, and smoke pipes, and have not learned how particular Russian families safely used their stoves and lamps (some of which they had taken with them as they fled the city), fires will break out. In the absence of an organized fire department, the fires will spread. As support for his outlook on history, Tolstoy concludes that the city was destroyed not by the freewill of either Napoleon or Kutuzov, but as an inevitable consequence of battle-weary foreign invaders occupying an abandoned wooden city.。
战争与和平英语作文100字
战争与和平英语作文篇 1War and peace are two contrasting concepts that have a profound impact on human society. In times of war, people's lives are thrown into chaos. Homes are destroyed, loved ones are lost, and freedom is snatched away. The horror and violence of war bring nothing but pain and suffering. People are forced to flee, seeking refuge in unfamiliar places, their hearts filled with fear and uncertainty.But in the embrace of peace, it's a completely different story. People can live and work in peace and contentment. They have the opportunity to pursue their dreams, build a prosperous life, and enjoy the simple pleasures of life. Children can play freely in the parks, families can gather around the dinner table, and communities thrive with a sense of harmony.Oh, how precious is peace! It allows us to grow, to love, to create. Shouldn't we do everything in our power to safeguard peace and prevent the horror of war from ever returning? Let us strive for a world where peace reigns supreme and war becomes a distant nightmare!篇 2War and peace have always been the most crucial issues in human history. War brings nothing but destruction, pain, and loss. So, how can we maintain peace and avoid war? International cooperation and dialogue are of paramount importance. Take the United Nations, for instance. It plays a vital role in mediating disputes among nations. Through its efforts, countless potential conflicts have been resolved peacefully, preventing them from escalating into full-blown wars. Isn't it amazing how such an organization can have such a significant impact?Moreover, promoting exchanges and understanding between countries is another key factor. When people from different nations come to know and respect each other's cultures, values, and interests, misunderstandings and prejudices can be greatly reduced. How wonderful it would be if we could all live in a world without the threat of war!However, achieving true peace is not an easy task. It requires the joint efforts of all countries. We should constantly strive for it. Don't you think so? Let's work together to create a peaceful world for future generations!篇 3War and peace are two concepts that have shaped the course of human history. War often stems from various reasons such as the scramble for resources, territorial disputes, and religious conflicts. For instance, throughout history, many wars were sparked by the fierce competition for precious resources like oil and land. However, is war the only way to solve problems? Absolutely not! Consider the successful cases where territorial disputes were resolved through peaceful negotiations. This shows that communication and compromise can lead to peaceful solutions.So, what is the fundamental way to achieve peace? It lies in mutual understanding, respect, and a spirit of cooperation among nations. We should learn from history and realize that violence only brings destruction and pain. Isn't it high time we chose the path of peace and worked together for a better world? Let us strive for a world where there is no war, but only harmony and prosperity!篇 4War and peace are two concepts that have shaped the course of human history. Peace is not just the absence of war; it is the foundation upon which societies thrive and humanity progresses. In times of peace, the fields of science and technologyflourish, bringing forth innovations that enhance our lives in countless ways. Imagine a world without the fear and destruction of war, where resources are devoted to research and development instead of weapons and destruction. Education flourishes, opening doors of knowledge and opportunity for all. Cultures intermingle and evolve, enriching our collective human experience. People enjoy a higher standard of living, free to pursue their dreams and build a better future for themselves and their families. Isn't it a wonder how much we could achieve if peace prevailed throughout the world? But alas, wars still occur, causing immeasurable suffering and setbacks. We must strive for peace, for it is the only path to true progress and a prosperous future for all mankind. How long will it take for us to truly understand the value of peace and work towards its attainment?篇 5War and peace are two concepts that have a profound impact on our lives. In a world often marred by conflicts and strife, the question of how ordinary individuals can contribute to maintaining peace becomes crucial. We, as common people, have significant responsibilities and roles to play in this pursuit.Think about it! When we actively participate in public welfare activities, we are sowing the seeds of peace. For instance, volunteering in community projects to help those in need not only brings immediate relief but also builds bridges of understanding and compassion. Spreading the idea of peace through our daily interactions and conversations is another powerful way. How can we ignore the positive influence when we encourage others to resolve disputes peacefully and promote harmony in our social circles?Let's ask ourselves: What small steps can we take today to make this world a more peaceful place? It could be as simple as showing kindness to a stranger or standing up against injustice. Each of our actions, no matter how insignificant it may seem, has the potential to create a ripple effect and contribute to a greater cause ofpeace.。
战争与和平英语作文
War and Peace 「战争与和平」Generally, war is repugnant, but peace is welcome. While peace is the ultimate goal of all of our undertaking in this world, war has been inevitable in the course of human civilization. Does man h ave an innate taste for war? Or is it just an acquired scheme learned from human society? We only know that there hasn"t been any period in the history during which the world was really at peace. Human beings pursue peace and prosperity through the establishment of families, communities, an d nations. Why should we let all these be destroyed by wars?To reduce the possibility of war to the lowest extent, I have two suggestions. First of all, educatio n should be consolidated to eliminate the brutality and beastliness in human nature. Knowledge de rives from education and is a surer road to wisdom. Wisdom enables us to distinguish right from w rong. I also teaches us restraint and tolerance, two effective means of preventing wayward killing and destruction. Another cure is religion. Most religions in the world advocate philanthropism and forgiveness, which dissolve hatred and revenge. Consequently, education and religion working sid e by side can transform a barbarian into a civilized person. With wisdom and love, the human race as a whole will detest war and embrace peace.一般而言,战争令人憎恶而和平受人欢迎,虽然和平是吾人在世界上一切作为的终极目标,战争在人类文明的过程中,始终无法避免。
关于战争与和平初中英语作文
关于战争与和平初中英语作文War and peace have been central themes in human history since time immemorial. The eternal struggle between these two opposing forces has shaped the course of civilizations, leaving an indelible mark on the human experience. As we grapple with the complexities of our modern world, it is crucial to reflect on the lessons of the past and the implications of our choices regarding war and peace.At the heart of the matter lies the fundamental human desire for security, power, and resources. Throughout history, nations and empires have clashed, driven by ambition, fear, and the pursuit of dominance. War, with its devastation and destruction, has often been the tragic outcome of these conflicts. The toll of war is immense, not only in terms of lives lost, but also in the immense human suffering, economic upheaval, and long-lasting social and political consequences that it leaves in its wake.Yet, the desire for peace is equally ingrained in the human psyche. Across cultures and throughout the ages, people have yearned for harmony, stability, and the opportunity to build prosperous societies.The quest for peace has inspired great thinkers, philosophers, and leaders to seek diplomatic solutions, forge alliances, and establish international organizations dedicated to the preservation of peace.One of the most significant events in the pursuit of global peace was the establishment of the United Nations in 1945, following the devastation of World War II. The UN's founding charter, which outlines its core principles and objectives, reflects the international community's commitment to preventing the scourge of war and promoting cooperation among nations. Through its various agencies and initiatives, the UN has played a crucial role in mediating conflicts, providing humanitarian aid, and fostering sustainable development.However, the path to lasting peace is fraught with challenges. Geopolitical tensions, ideological differences, and the proliferation of advanced military technologies have all contributed to the persistence of armed conflicts around the world. The rise of non-state actors, such as terrorist organizations, has further complicated the landscape of global security, requiring innovative approaches to conflict resolution and peacebuilding.Despite these obstacles, there have been remarkable achievements in the quest for peace. The end of the Cold War, the peaceful dissolution of the Soviet Union, and the gradual reduction in the number of inter-state wars are all testament to the progress that canbe made when nations and individuals commit themselves to the principles of peaceful coexistence and mutual understanding.At the individual level, the pursuit of peace begins with the cultivation of empathy, compassion, and a genuine respect for the humanity in every person, regardless of their background or beliefs. By fostering a culture of dialogue, tolerance, and nonviolence, we can contribute to the larger global effort to create a more just and peaceful world.Education plays a vital role in this endeavor. By teaching young people about the devastating consequences of war, the importance of conflict resolution, and the value of diplomacy, we can instill in them the knowledge and the moral compass to navigate the complexities of the modern world. Through the study of history, the analysis of current events, and the exploration of alternative perspectives, students can develop a deeper understanding of the underlying causes of conflict and the pathways to sustainable peace.Moreover, the advancement of science, technology, and economic cooperation can also contribute to the promotion of peace. The development of renewable energy sources, the improvement of global health and sanitation, and the fostering of international trade and investment can all help to alleviate the root causes of conflict, such as resource scarcity, poverty, and inequality.Ultimately, the pursuit of peace is a collective responsibility that requires the active engagement of individuals, communities, and nations. It is a long and arduous journey, fraught with setbacks and challenges, but one that is essential for the well-being of humanity and the preservation of our planet. By embracing the principles of nonviolence, diplomacy, and mutual understanding, we can work towards a future where the horrors of war are relegated to the past, and the promise of lasting peace becomes a reality.。
介绍战争与和平英语作文
介绍战争与和平英语作文War and Peace。
War and peace are two contrasting concepts that have shaped the history of mankind. War refers to a state of armed conflict between two or more groups or nations, while peace signifies a state of harmony, tranquility, and absence of violence. Throughout history, wars have been fought for various reasons, such as territorial disputes, ideological differences, or economic interests. On the other hand, peace is sought after as a means to establish stability, promote development, and foster cooperation among nations.War has been a recurrent theme in human history. From ancient times to the present, wars have been waged for power, resources, and dominance. The devastating effects of war are evident in the loss of lives, destruction of infrastructure, and displacement of populations. The two World Wars of the 20th century, for instance, causedimmense human suffering, with millions of lives lost and entire cities reduced to rubble. The aftermath of war often leaves scars that take years, if not generations, to heal.Despite the destructive nature of war, it has also been viewed as a means to achieve certain objectives. Nations have engaged in war to protect their sovereignty, defend their citizens, or promote their interests. However, the cost of war is high, both in terms of human lives and economic resources. The development of nuclear weapons during the Cold War era, for example, escalated the potential devastation of war to unprecedented levels. The threat of mutually assured destruction forced nations to seek alternative means of resolving conflicts.In contrast to war, peace is a state that is highly valued by individuals, communities, and nations. Peace allows for the growth and development of societies, as it provides stability and security. It enables nations to focus on social, economic, and cultural advancements, rather than expending resources on military expenditures. Peaceful coexistence among nations fosters cooperation,trade, and cultural exchange, leading to mutual understanding and progress.Efforts to establish peace have taken various forms throughout history. Diplomatic negotiations, mediation, and peace treaties have been used to resolve conflicts and prevent the outbreak of wars. International organizations, such as the United Nations, have been established to promote peace, security, and cooperation among nations. The UN's role in peacekeeping missions and conflict resolution has been instrumental in preventing and mitigatingconflicts around the world.Achieving peace requires the collective efforts of individuals, governments, and international organizations. It necessitates the promotion of dialogue, understanding, and respect among nations. Education plays a crucial role in fostering a culture of peace, as it instills values of tolerance, empathy, and cooperation in future generations. Additionally, addressing the root causes of conflicts, such as poverty, inequality, and injustice, is essential in building lasting peace.In conclusion, war and peace are contrasting concepts that have shaped the course of human history. While war has been a recurrent feature of human existence, peace ishighly valued for its ability to promote stability, development, and cooperation among nations. The devastating effects of war highlight the importance of seeking peaceful means to resolve conflicts. Achieving and maintaining peace requires the collective efforts of individuals, governments, and international organizations. By prioritizing peace, we can create a world that is free from the horrors of war and allows for the flourishing of humanity.。

战争与和平历史小作文初三English: War and peace have played a major role in shaping the course of human history. From ancient times to the present day, conflicts between nations and individuals have led to devastating wars that have left lasting scars on societies. These wars have often been caused by territorial disputes, ideological differences, or struggles for power. The consequences of war are widespread and include loss of life, destruction of infrastructure, displacement of populations, and economic instability. On the other hand, peace is essential for the prosperity and well-being of humankind. It provides the necessary conditions for social, political, and economic development. The pursuit of peace involves negotiation, compromise, and the establishment of international laws and organizations to prevent conflicts from escalating into full-blown wars.
