In fact, a person does not need to read too many books in his life, seven or eight books are enough however, in order to find the seven or eight books that are most worth reading, he must first read two or three thousand books. The Russian writer Babel commented on this book: Tolstoy believed that in order to solve the problem of its own social direction in Russia in the 1860s, it was necessary to go back to this period of history and return to the struggle of the upper and lower levels in this period of history, so he created "War and Peace". They powerfully blocked the attack of Napoleon's army and defeated Napoleon's conquest. The Russian people united together unprecedentedly, regardless of rich or poor, high or low, even men, women, old and young. Those were two just wars of defending the homeland and defending the country. In the early 19th century, Russia experienced two counterattacks to the invasion of Napoleon's army. After searching up and down from the 1850s to the early 1860s, Tolstoy finally released "War and Peace". The serfdom reform in 1861 marked that the Russian serfdom society was collapsing and was rapidly moving towards capitalism of Western civilization. The Decembrists exiled to Siberia for the failed uprising of 1825 were also pardoned at this time.
In this situation, Alexander II was forced to abolish serfdom and implement some liberal reform policies. At that time, the tsarist government was weakened by military defeats during the Crimean War, peasant uprisings were raging, and calls for reform were growing from all quarters. The creation background of "War and Peace": In 1855, Alexander II came to the throne.
"War and Peace" enables a more direct and accurate understanding of the character and temperament of the Russian people, and of life in Russia as a whole, than reading hundreds of works of ethnology and history. The spirit of the times permeates this large-scale work, which describes social life and individual life in Russia at the turn of the century with great skill. "War and Peace" is a complete portrait of all things in which one finds one's happiness and sorrow, greatness and shame.
