Before you Read War and Peace - Leo Tolstoy Book Summary, Analysis, Review (Russian Novel)

Описание к видео Before you Read War and Peace - Leo Tolstoy Book Summary, Analysis, Review (Russian Novel)

Welcome to the CodeX Cantina where our mission is to get more people talking about books! Was there a theme or meaning you wanted us to talk about further? Let us know in the comments below! Today we talk about all the things we wish we knew before starting "War and Peace" by Leo Tolstoy. "War and Peace" is a maximalist effort of Russian Realism. It combines fictional elements of a book with real historical figures. This is meant to be spoiler-free but obviously will discuss real events in history. The French Revolution, we believe, was critical for understanding the opening chapters. We want to talk about some movements in Europe and Russia to help set some context for your reading. Tolstoy does an amazing job of walking readers through the book from there. We continue to reflect back on this book now, 6 months later, after reading it.

Wording Clarifications and Rationale:
“Coronation” is a Western word, but in Russian, the process is actually called “chrismation (anointment) to tsardom,” or “being wed to the tsardom”, a very important difference - one that is lost in translation when speaking of Russia.
