Vojna in mir, 1. del
Eden največjih romanov vseh časov v novem prevodu!
Čeprav je jasno umeščen v čas Napoleonovega pohoda na Rusijo (1805–1812), roman Vojna in mir, ki je v izvirniku prvič izšel leta 1869, še zdaleč ni zgolj zgodovinski roman, temveč gre za orjaško »fresko«, ki tedanje družbene razmere neprestano prepleta z duševnimi stanji in iskanji junakov.
Lev Nikolajevič Tolstoj (1828–1910) je svoj veliki roman pisal sedem let po deset ur na dan, prelistal je vse knjige, obiskoval arhive in prebiral zasebna pisma. Besedilo je sedemkrat prepisal, vse dokler se naposled ni izoblikovala mogočna celota, iz katere s svojimi razmisleki, dvomi in spoznanji izstopajo značajsko markantne osebe, obenem pa se mu je z nezmotljivim čutom za dramatično posrečilo ustvariti serijo razgibanih, prepričljivih prizorov, katerih občečloveška vsebina nas nagovarja še danes. Roman Vojna in mir je prvič prevedel v slovenščino Vladimir Levstik leta 1932, zdaj pa bo izšel v novem prevodu Sovretove nagrajenke Lijane Dejak.
»Bralci imamo včasih predsodke pred takimi 'špehi' kot je Vojna in mir, vendar je klasika lahko tudi zabavna. Ruski pisatelj in velik poznavalec književnosti Aleksander Genis je nekoč izjavil, da je Vojna in mir, ki je njegova najljubša knjiga sploh, roman za na plažo. Ta izjava me je najprej presenetila, ampak zdaj, ko ponovno pregledujem besedilo pred izidom, se popolnoma strinjam z njim: brez francoščine ne bo nobene ovire, da ne bi Vojne in miru brali na plaži, saj je kljub avreoli velike klasike ta roman v resnici preplet samih zanimivih zgodb, v katere se je pravi užitek potopiti kje ob morju ...« - Lijana Dejak

About the author
Leo Tolstoy
8,104 books28.8k followersLev 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.

Oh boy.
So it wasn’t too bad. I actually enjoyed reading it.
There were so many of these chapters that were so random and did absolutely nothing to the plot except waste your time.
The thing that bothered me most was that there wasn’t a single person in this entire book who was a good example let alone a decent person. I was disgusted by most of the characters. They all had super messed up morals. They all had messed up love lives, if there was any love at all, more like greed lives. I know stuff back then was different but it still hurts to see how poorly people were treated. Especially women. What really got on my nerves though was how straight up dumb some of the characters were. Like all they did was make dumb decisions after dumb decisions.
Ok but for old literature it’s pretty good. The way Tolstoj describes stuff is pretty cool. It’s very cool to hear his thoughts and wonderings of the world through fictional characters. I loved learning more about life back in old Russia. Very interesting.
I also know that I can’t compare this book to any other novel from nowadays, because the criteria has to fit multiple things including the time it was written in. But it is undoubtedly a masterpiece of its time. And Tolstoj none other than the artist.
