War And Peace (End)

This novel which according to Tolstoy cannot really be considered as one, is amazing. The fiction parts were captivating and so alive. The historical fiction parts were interesting too but his prose comes truly alive when describing a hunt, a ball or the feelings and interactions of the fictional characters. No wonder everything in it rang so sincere since after reading the novel I have learned that Tolstoy was an aristocrat who has actually been in a war (Crimean wars) and after being in the society chose to live in the country. This was an amazing experience despite the fact that I had to carry the whole thing around and probably made some arm muscles doing that :)
