War and Peace Week 25: Book 3, Part 1, Chapter 4 – 10
Love this insight: “War and Peace is as much about how we lose sight of meaning as it is about finding it in the first place.” Thank you, Simon.
I can certainly identify with Andrei's loss of meaning at times in my life. Tolstoy certainly new plenty and dark as well as the light.
As an American, the idea of Napoleon takes on ominous meanings in 2024.
As Yiyun Li, Tolstoy has anticipated the future and our present, the rise of dictators and the dangers attraction of charismatic leadership.
If the opening chapters are any indication I'm definitely with Flaubert, and grateful for insights from this slow read.
You and Flau can hang out together! Me, I relish how this book continues to grow and perplex and become something even more enigmatic!
“paint me having fun” you crack me up Simon!
