Welcome to Footnotes and Tangents. I am your guide, Simon Haisell, and this is week 32 of a year-long slow read of Leo Tolstoy’s War and Peace, a chapter a day.
Each week, I dive into the detail with summaries, background, footnotes and tangents to enrich your reading.
On my website, you can find the reading schedule and plot summaries for the full cast of characters.
From the reading schedule, you can find the chat threads for each chapter of War and Peace. I also link to the threads in these weekly posts. You can discuss the week’s reading in the chat threads or in the comments of this post – whichever works best for you.
