I read for a while this morning at 5AM. I reunion of Pierre and Natasha after his time as a prisoner of war of the French Army, after having saved a child from a burning building and defending a woman who had been attacked by French soldiers. This scene moved me to tears. Tolstoy is not brief, but he is a master storyteller.

This death scene I just read maybe one of the most beautiful and profound scenes I have read across any bit of literature.
