An affirmation of life itself in War and Peace audiobook by Leo Tolstoy
He had learned that there is a limit to suffering and a limit to freedom, and that those limits are very close; that the man who suffers because one leaf is askew in his bed of roses, suffers as much as he now suffered falling asleep on the bare, damp ground, one side getting cold as the other warmed up; that when he used to put on his tight ballroom shoes, he suffered just as much as now, when he walked quite barefoot (his shoes had long since worn out) and his feet were covered with sores.
Tolstoy perceived a tragedy involving all of humanity in Russia’s war with Napoleon. War and Peace audiobook is more than a historical account; it is an affirmation of life itself, “a full picture of everything in which individuals find their happiness and glory, their pain and humiliation,” as one contemporaneous reviewer described it. Tolstoy himself approved this translation, which is now available in a one volume edition with an introduction by Henry Gifford and Tolstoy’s key essay “Some Words about War and Peace.”

War and Peace audiobook is a spiritual electroshock. There is no distinction between Tolstoy’s art and philosophy, just as there is no distinction between fiction and historical discourse in this work. War and Peace is a challenge to the book genre and historical narrative since it lacks a cohesive theme, as well as a storyline or a clear finale.
Tolstoy searched for an alternative reality, one that would capture the entirety of history as it was lived and teach people how to cope with its weight. Why was I born? Who am I? What do I live for? These are existential concerns about the meaning of existence that agitate War and Peace audiobook which also deals with the individual’s duty in history, as he or she must struggle against the duality of free choice vs the impact of the external environment. The narrator, which alternates between fictional and historical figures, periodically devolves into a reasoned philosophical digression, investigating how human lives impact the course of history and contesting the concept of truth recognized by modern historians.
