Krig og fred 3 (uforkortet)

Written by Leo Tolstoy

Narrated by Troels Møller

I "Krig og fred" tegner Lev Tolstoj et psykologisk portræt af fem aristokratiske familier under Napoleonskrigene i starten af 1800-tallet. Tolstoj lader sine fiktive karakterer møde historiske personer, som præsenterer os for de krigens væsen på en helt personlig måde. Romantiske beskrivelser af overdådige baller i Moskvas finere selskab står i skarp kontrast til de grusomt realistiske skildringer fra slagmarken, mens krigen rykker tættere og tættere på og truer den komfortable tilværelse, som aristokratiet tager for givet. Den russiske Grev Lev Nikolajevitj Tolstoj (1828-1910) er bredt anerkendt som en af verdens bedste forfattere nogensinde. Han er bedst kendt for sine romaner "Anna Karenina" og "Krig og fred", men hans forfatterskab spænder også over et stort antal noveller, essays og delvist selvbiografiske værker.

Leo Tolstoy

Leo Tolstoy (1828-1910) was a Russian author of novels, short stories, novellas, plays, and philosophical essays. He was born into an aristocratic family and served as an officer in the Russian military during the Crimean War before embarking on a career as a writer and activist. Tolstoy’s experience in war, combined with his interpretation of the teachings of Jesus, led him to devote his life and work to the cause of pacifism. In addition to such fictional works as War and Peace (1869), Anna Karenina (1877), and The Death of Ivan Ilyich (1886), Tolstoy wrote The Kingdom of God is Within You (1893), a philosophical treatise on nonviolent resistance which had a profound impact on Mahatma Gandhi and Martin Luther King Jr. He is regarded today not only as one of the greatest writers of all time, but as a gifted and passionate political figure and public intellectual whose work transcends Russian history and literature alike.
