The Slavic Literature Pod War and Peace p.8 (Book 3, Part 2)
Show Notes:
This week, Matt and Cameron continue Part 2, Book 3 of Leo Tolstoy’s War and Peace. Get your sabers ready, we’re about to head into one of the defining battles of 1812. Well - at least as Tolstoy would have you believe. And - for once - Marya appears in a scene without 2-3 pages of the narrator ragging on her looks. Who would have thought we’d come this far? Get your victory drink of choice ready, and tune in!
Major themes: Beating Peasants, War Crimes, Losing Your Way to Victory
22:35 - My bad, I was thinking of the Church of Christ, Scientist, not Jehovah’s Witnesses. I have two aunts who are Jehovah’s Witnesses, you’d think I’d know that haha.
39:12 - The conditions of Napoleon’s exile.
40:17 -The False Dmitry I
54:48 - I’m pretty sure, but not 100% confident that this is what Matt is talking about.
