I've loved and adored Tolstoy ever since I read War and Peace for the first time, in German, of course. I must have bee 12. The protagonist, Pierre, is Tolstoy's alter-ego... But you'll definitely have to grow a beard, Rohn!

I read War and Peace two or possibly three times back when I had an attention span. It's a really really good book.

YES. I must admit I skipped some of the "War" the first time, but later even that was fascinating.

This was fascinating. I didn’t know anything about Tolstoy except that he wrote War and Peace. Thank you, Rohn!, for this thoughtful piece.
