Rat i mir I

by Leo Tolstoy, Zlatko Crnković (Translator)

Rat i mir je ponudio svježu fikciju, sa ogromnim brojem likova u zapletu koji nije pokrivao ništa manje teme od onih u naslovu, kao i teme poput mladosti, braka, ljubavi, godina, života i smrti. Iako se danas smatra za roman, u to vrijeme je oborio toliko veliki broj ubjeđenja o tome, kako roman treba da izgleda, da ga mnogi kritičari iz tog vremena uopšte i nisu tako posmatrali. I sam Tolstoj je smatrao Anu Karenjinu, napisanu desetak godina kasnije, kao svoj prvi roman, u evropskom smislu.

About the author

Lev Nikolayevich Tolstoy (Russian: Лев Николаевич Толстой; most appropriately used Liev Tolstoy; commonly Leo Tolstoy in Anglophone countries) was a Russian writer who primarily wrote novels and short stories. Later in life, he also wrote plays and essays. His two most famous works, the novels War and Peace and Anna Karenina, are acknowledged as two of the greatest novels of all time and a pinnacle of realist fiction. Many consider Tolstoy to have been one of the world's greatest novelists. Tolstoy is equally known for his complicated and paradoxical persona and for his extreme moralistic and ascetic views, which he adopted after a moral crisis and spiritual awakening in the 1870s, after which he also became noted as a moral thinker and social reformer.

His literal interpretation of the ethical teachings of Jesus, centering on the Sermon on the Mount, caused him in later life to become a fervent Christian anarchist and anarcho-pacifist. His ideas on nonviolent resistance, expressed in such works as The Kingdom of God Is Within You, were to have a profound impact on such pivotal twentieth-century figures as Mohandas Gandhi and Martin Luther King, Jr.

Reviews

[Brat Virdžinije Vulf · Rating 5 out of 5]

Prva knjiga, je apsolutno samostalno djelo sa otvorenim krajem. Ne čita se kao roman, već kao komad svjetske kulturne baštine, što podrazumijeva svečan ton i puno, puno, puno, strpljenja za izuzetno obimnu deskripciju. Da li možemo da prepoznamo analizu različitih mentalnih sklopova u istoj egzistencijalnoj situaciji? Da!!! Možemo u tim sklopovima vidjeti sebe, a u ratu besmislenost, dok mir ljudi uopšte i ne vide dok se ne desi rat...
