Reading Tolstoy's War and Peace: Vol I, Part Three, Ch XV: On the Field at Austerlitz
http://readingtolstoy.blogspot.com/2011/12/vol-i-part-three-ch-xv-on-field-at.html
Monday, December 19, 2011. Vol I, Part Three, Ch XV: On the Field at Austerlitz. It belatedly occurs to me that Tolstoy's readers (during his lifetime) would have been as familiar with the Battle of Austerlitz and all the rest of them as people in the late 19th century US would have been familiar with the Battles of the Civil War. He writes for them- there are so many references that have to be explained in footnotes and yet, he also writes for the ages. Kutuzov vs the Emperor. Seems an eternal story.

Reading Tolstoy's War and Peace: Vol IV, Part Four, Chapters I - III
http://readingtolstoy.blogspot.com/2011/12/vol-iv-part-four-chapters-i-iii.html
Wednesday, December 28, 2011. Vol IV, Part Four, Chapters I - III. After the death of prince Andrei, Natasha and Marya become friends; the death of Petya (Natasha's younger brother). All this is done very well, vividly, engagingly. things are moving along, characters are suffering, we sense we're heading to the wrap-up. (will everyone marry the one they are meant to marry? It's all good reading in a steak and potatoes way. On p. 1082 this wraps up with a good last sentence of anticipation,. Vol I, Part T...

Reading Tolstoy's War and Peace: Vol IV, Part Three, Ch IV - XI: Petya Rostov / Point of View / Psychic Distance
http://readingtolstoy.blogspot.com/2011/12/vol-iii-part-three-ch-iv-xi-petya.html
Monday, December 26, 2011. Vol IV, Part Three, Ch IV - XI: Petya Rostov / Point of View / Psychic Distance. The novel becomes exquisitely vivid and engaging once again with the story of Petya Rostov (Natasha's little brother). Denisov reappears as a senior officer, as does Dolokhov. On my paperback, I noted oodles of admirable detail, etc, but as I've become repetitive already, I'll skip blogging about that. But to nitpick, the last sentence could have been cut. PS I was amused to find this blog post.

Reading Tolstoy's War and Peace: Vol IV, Part Three, Ch I - III
http://readingtolstoy.blogspot.com/2011/12/vol-iii-part-three-ch-i-iii.html
Saturday, December 24, 2011. Vol IV, Part Three, Ch I - III. Another sinker of an opening sentence, p. 1031:. The battle of Borodino, with the subsequent occupation of Moscow by the French and their flight without any new battles, is one of the most instructuve phenomena in history. So there's a bit of lecture. it's interesting, but it's not fiction. But it's. I see now why Tolstoy himself claimed it was not a novel and Henry James called it a "large loose baggy monster.". Epilogue, Part Two. Charlotte L...

Reading Tolstoy's War and Peace: And So I Have Finished and I Conclude
http://readingtolstoy.blogspot.com/2012/01/and-so-i-have-finished-and-i-conclude.html
Saturday, December 31, 2011. And So I Have Finished and I Conclude. Was all the adventure I had hoped. Though I cannot say I found it immaculate as a work of art,. Loose baggy monster" that it is, has so very many virtues, and so much I can learn from as a writer, that I only wish I'd read it years sooner. I also feel immensely grateful to have had the chance to enter into this long ago world of Russia before, during, and after Napoleon's invasion. To fight in the Battle of Austerlitz? Epilogue, Part Two.
