"PETERSBURG. 1805" "The celebrated Anna Pavlovna Scherer, most intimate lady-in-waiting of the Empress Maria Fedorovna, gave at her home the receptions which she alone had a gift for organizing." "Tonight, Anna Pavlovna was "treating" her guests to a French aristocrat, the Vicomte de Mortemart, who'd taken refuge in Russia from the Antichrist Napoleon Buonaparte." "The execution of Duke of Enghien was a state necessity." "Napoleon is great, and the Revolution was a great thing..." "Excuse me, my dear Vicomte, but this unfortunate soiree at the Ambassador's deprives me of the pleasure to hear you out." "It saddens me to have to leave this delightful party." "Scherer's salon gathered together" ""the flower of the intellectual high society of St. Petersburg", as Anna Pavlovna herself described it." "It was here, during these soirees, that could best be measured the political temperature of the official spheres in the capital which were close to the Court." "My husband's planning to desert me, he may be killed." "Tell me, why must we have this wretched war?" "Are you going off to the war, Prince?" "General Kutuzov has been kind enough to take me as aide-de-camp." " And what about Lisa, your wife?" " She will go to the country." "Oh, it's sinful of you to deprive us of your charming wife." "Why can't men live without wars?" "Take us, women, we don't want anything." "We don't need anything." "What have you done to mile Scherer?" "Now she's going to be really ill." "This abbe is an interesting man, but he sees it in the wrong light." "I think the eternal peace is possible, but, I don't know how to express it, only not through political balance." "People should not say everywhere what they think." "Have you made your mind at last?" "The Imperial Guards or diplomacy?" "I don't know yet." "I don't like to be either." "He must be a Freemason anyway." "Let's talk about serious things." "Have you been to the Cavalry?" "No." "But that's what occurred to me, and I wanted to tell you about it." "Now we're at war with Napoleon." "If it were a liberation war, I would have understood." "I would have been the first to enlist." "But to help Britain and Austria to fight the greatest man in the world is not good." "If everybody fought for their convictions, there would be no war." "That would be wonderful!" "Perhaps, but that would never happen." "Tell me, why are you going off to the war?" "Why?" "I don't know." "I must go." "Besides, I'm going..." "I'm going because I don't like the life I'm leading here." "I have often wondered how is it Annette never got married." "You're really stupid, all of you men, not to have married her." "I'm sorry to say you don't understand anything about women." " You're such a debater, M. Pierre." " I'm arguing with your husband." "I still can't understand why he wants to go off to war." "When are you leaving?" "When I realized that I'll have to interrupt all those dear relations..." "And what's more, you know, Andrei..." "Why are you afraid, Lisa?" "I don't understand you." "All men are egotists." "Just for a whim, he's abandoning me, shutting me up in the country." "With my sister and my father, remember." "But without my friends, all alone!" "And I shouldn't be afraid?" "I still fail to understand why you're so afraid." "Your doctor told you to go to bed earlier." "It's time you were asleep." "I don't mind talking in front of Monsieur Pierre." "I've wanted to say this for months, Andrei." "Why have you changed so much?" "What have I done to you?" "Why are you deserting me to go off to war?" "You've been treating me as though I were a child or an invalid." "You weren't like this six months ago." "I beg you to stop!" "Please, don't get upset, Princess." "It's just your imagination, because, I assure you..." "I myself have felt that..." "I know... because..." "No, excuse me, an outsider has no business here." "You mustn't get upset." " Good night." " Wait, Pierre." "The princess is too kind not to let me enjoy your company." " There!" "He only thinks of himself!" " Liz!" "Never marry, my friend, that is my advice to you." "Never marry till you can say to yourself you've done everything, till you have stopped loving the woman whom you have chosen, till you're able to see her clearly." "Otherwise you'll be making a cruel and irrevocable mistake." "Marry when you are old and good for nothing." "Or everything that is good and noble in you will be lost." "It will all be wasted on trifles." "You say, Buonaparte and his career." "But when he was working for his goal, he was free." "He had nothing but his goal, and he had achieved it." "And we have nothing but salons, gossip, balls, vanity, nonentity." "The vicious circle I can't break free of." "That's enough talk about me." "Shall we talk about you?" "But what is there to say?" "Who am I after all?" "An illegitimate son, without name and without fortune." "Of course, I have my freedom, and I'm enjoying it." "Yet, I don't know what to take up, I need some advice from you." "I'm very fond of you, because you're the only one who's really alive among our society." "You can pick anything you like, the Imperial Guards, diplomacy." "You're going to be all right everywhere." "But you shouldn't associate with the Kuraghin set and their way of life." "It doesn't suit you, the debauchery, the carousing." "Do you know what?" "Seriously, I have long thought the same thing." "Leading that sort of life, I can't decide anything properly." "I waste money and get headaches." "I won't go tonight." "Give me your word that you won't be going there." "I promise." "Petrousha, dear friend, come over here!" "Get out, or they're going to think I'm holding on!" "You have a try, Hercules!" "Wait!" "Kuraghin!" "Listen!" "If anyone can do the same, I'll pay him 100 imperials." "Do you understand?" "Attention!" "This is folly, gentlemen!" "He'll get himself killed." "Don't startle him!" "Otherwise he's sure to be killed, and what then?" "The first who tries to come close to me is going to get pushed down." "It's empty!" "Gentlemen!" "I will do the same thing!" "I will drink it up." "Bring me a bottle of rum!" "I'll do it even without betting." "Let him do it!" "You get dizzy just trying to get upstairs, man." "Tell them to bring a bottle." "I'll do it." "Listen, I'll take your bet, but we'll do it tomorrow." "And now we're going to pay a visit to the actresses!" "Let's go!" "And we'll take Bruin with us too!" "Prince Vassily is here." "Count Bezukhov must be in a really bad state." "I feel so sorry for poor Count Bezukhov." "His health is so wretched already that the pranks of his son could very well be the death of him." "What have they done now?" "The three of them dug up a bear somewhere and took him in a carriage to see the actresses." "They captured a policeman, strapped him and the bear together and threw them into the Moika." "The bear was swimming with the officer riding him." "I can imagine, ma chere, what a look the officer had on his face!" "It's horrid!" "What's so funny about it, Count?" "Dolokhov has been reduced to the ranks, as for Anatole Kuraghin, his father had the affair hushed up, and Pierre Bezukhov has been exiled to Moscow." "I hope no one in Moscow will receive him." "I declined to do so, most emphatically." "I have daughters." "Still, you know, ma chere, it was a fine trick." "Just think of the figure that police officer cut in the water!" "Monsieur Pierre." "Here she is!" "My pet, whose name-day it is!" "You keep spoiling her, Ilya." "How are you, my dear?" "Many happy returns!" " A charming child." " Pure quick silver!" "Takes after me." "Yes, they're wonderful kids." "Sonya!" "What's the matter?" "What's wrong?" " It's nothing." "Leave me alone." " Nothing matters in this world." "You alone are everything for me." "I'll prove it to you." " I don't like it when you say so." " I won't." "Forgive me, Sonya." "It's so wonderful." "Boris, come over here." "I have to tell you something." "Over here." "I wonder what is this something." "Kiss the doll." "You don't want to?" "Come on, come here." "Closer." "More closer." "Would you like to kiss me?" "Let me congratulate you on this occasion, my dear." "And you, old sinner, feeling bored in Moscow?" "There's nothing much you can do." "When your little birds grow up, you have to get them husbands." "How are you, sweet little Cossack of mine?" "I know you're a rascal, but I love you just the same." "Come here, my young friend." "Here, I said." "I used to tell your father the truth when he needed to be told." "As for you, I feel it's my sacred duty to do the same." "Some hero, isn't he?" "A pretty kettle of fish indeed!" "Your father lies on his death-bed and you amuse yourself." "Tying a police officer to the back of a bear!" "Shame on you, dear!" "You'd do better to go to war." "Well, now, I think, it's time for dinner." "The manifesto on the declaration of war has already been out." "I myself saw it in St. Petersburg." "It's been delivered to the commander-in-chief in Moscow." "Why in the devil should we go to war against Bonaparte?" "He has cut down Austria to size, it's going to be our turn next." "It's for the reason, my dear sir, that the Emperor knows what to do." "Well, Yeryoma, you'd be better off staying home, fixing your spinning wheels." "This befits us better." "We always have to fight to the last drop of our blood" "and die for our Emperor." "And then everything will be all right." "The less we debate this thing the better." "That's what old Hussars think." "And what do you think, young man and young Hussar?" "I agree with you absolutely." "I'm convinced that Russians must either die or win." "That's a real Hussar speaking, young man!" "What are you making such a row about there?" "Why are knocking on the table?" "Who are you angry with?" "As though you're confronting the French." "I'm telling the truth." "We're talking about the war." "My son is going off." "I have four sons in the army, and I don't worry." "It's all in God's hands." "One may die in one's bed, or God may save you on the battlefield." "Yes, that's true." "You know that I have sent for Pierre?" "The Count, by pointing at his portrait, demanded to see him." "There's something I've kept praying for, my dear cousin, that God might be merciful to the Count, and might allow his noble soul to leave this earth in peace." "Yes, of course." "But the point is, as you know, that the Count has made out a will, leaving all of his property to Pierre." "He's made out many other wills." "He can't bequeath everything to Pierre." "He's illegitimate." "Can't you see the point, Katish?" "You're an intelligent woman!" "Can't you see that if the Count wrote to the Czar begging him to legitimize his son, that means that Pierre will become Count Bezukhov." "And according to the will, he'll get everything." "Mama told me to ask you to dance." "I'm afraid of getting the steps all mixed up." "However, if you don't mind being my teacher..." "Semyon!" "The Daniel Cooper!" "You know it?" "Look at Papa!" "Look at Papa!" "Look at the Master." "He's a real eagle, isn't he?" "Pray to our Lord!" "O Lord, have mercy!" "O Lord Almighty, the Father of our Lord, Jesus Christ, stretch forth Thy all-honorable hand on Your servant Kirill." "We pray Thee and implore Thee, absolve Thou the soul of Thy servant Kirill from every bond." "Pardon his transgressions, both of knowledge and of ignorance." "And unto Thee do we ascribe glory now and ever and unto ages of ages." "Amen!" "O Lord, have mercy!" "O Lord, have mercy!" "If the Count didn't ask for me, I'd better go home." "My friend, I'm suffering as much as you are, but try to be a man." "Man's earthly life has limits and these limits cannot be exceeded." "There's never been a case that one has lived after the 3rd stroke." "What an iron constitution he had!" "Who's going to inherit all this?" "It will not go begging." "Have courage." "He has summoned you here and that's good." "Some water?" "Pierre?" "Would you like us to call Prince Vassily?" "The master wants to be moved over on his side." "For I am in trouble, and receive Thou my soul and deliver it." "Ye who are my kinfolk in the flesh, and ye who are my brethren in the spirit, my friends and wonted acquaintances, weep ye, sigh, wail;" "for Io, now I am departing from you." "Let go, I tell you!" "I'll take the responsibility." "You don't know what you're doing." " You vile woman." " Let go!" "What are you doing?" "He's about to die and you leave me here alone!" "Yes, you've been waiting for that." "You may rejoice now." "Ah, my friend." "We sin, we cheat." "And what is the point?" "I'm already in my 50s, my friend..." "We'll all die." "Death is horrible." "He is no more." "Come on, I'll see you out." "Try to cry." "Nothing gives better relief than tears." "God will be with you." "You are young and now, I hope, you've come into possession of a big fortune." "Ever since Czar Paul I has exiled him to his estate, the General-in-Chief, Prince Nikolai Andreyevich Bolkonsky," "nicknamed in high society "The King of Prussia", had never left his estate property "Bald Hills"" "where he dwelt with his daughter, Princess Maria." "Are you well?" "Sit down." "For tomorrow..." "Wait, there's a letter for you." " From Eloise?" " Yes, it's from Julie." "I'm going to let you have two more letters, the third one I'll read." "I'm afraid, you're writing a lot of nonsense." " You may read this, Father." " I said, the third!" "Well, young lady..." "These triangles are similar." "As you can see, the sides A, B and C of a triangle..." "The strict order of life at Bald Hills could not be broken even by such an event as saying goodbye to his son." "It's so much like him..." "What an intelligent man is your father." "Perhaps, that's the reason I'm so afraid of him." "Please, sit down." "Be seated, Mikhail Ivanovich." "You should walk as much as possible." "Against your will, He will save you and have mercy and will turn you to Himself, because only in Him you'll find truth and comfort." "Please, take it, Andrei, for my sake." " You're going?" " I came to say goodbye." "Kiss me." "Thank you." "Why do you thank me?" "Because you're not wasting time, hanging on to the woman's skirt." "Service before everything." "Thank you very much." "If you have anything to say, speak." "I can do two things at one time." "It's my wife." "I'm sorry to leave her on your hands." "Nonsense." "Tell me what you want." "When it's time for her to deliver, could you send for an obstetrician?" "I know nothing can be done if Nature doesn't condescend to yield." "I agree that out of a million cases only one goes amiss." "But she's worried and it so happens I am too." "She's heard stories, had nightmares and she's afraid." "I'll do it." "It's bad, isn't it?" " What is bad, father?" " The wife!" "I don't understand you." "There's nothing you can do, my friend." "They're all like that." "Don't worry, I won't tell anyone." "And you know it yourself." "But you can't help it." "She's beautiful!" "I'll do everything." "Don't worry." "Give this letter to Mikhail Illarionovich." "I'm asking him not to use you as aide-de-camp for too long." "It's very ugly work!" "You'll tell him he enjoys my admiration and affection." "Write me how he's welcomed you." "Stay with him if he's worthy." "Nikolai Andreyevich Bolkonsky's son doesn't need any favors." "Now come here." "My time will come before yours does." "Here are some notes I've written." "Make sure the Czar gets them." "Here's a letter of credit and one for the Academy." "The prize will go to the man who is to write the story of" "Suvorov's campaigns." "Here are a few personal jottings." "Read them when I'm gone." "You'll find them worth your while." "I'll carry out all your instructions, Father." "And now goodbye!" "But remember, Prince Andrei, should you die on the battlefield, your old father will mourn for you." "But should I hear you've behaved not like Nikolai Bolkonsky's son," "I will be ashamed!" "You need not have said that to me, Father." "There's something else I wanted to ask you." "If I am killed and if I have a son, would you keep him here with you?" "Let him grow up under your roof." "Please." "Not to give him to your wife?" "We've already said goodbye." "You may go." "Go!" "Under the command of Kutuzov, the Russian army, 50,000 strong, marched into Austria to join forces with the allied army of the Austrian General Mack, to undertake joint action against Napoleon." "They say Kutuzov is one-eyed." "Sure thing!" "Absolutely one-eyed!" "No, pal, he sees better'n you do." "Checked everything:" "Boots, puttees." "When he looked at my feet, I thought I'm done..." "I wish we had a rest 'fore marching another 5 versts without a bite..." "Germans provided carriages." "We used to ride like some big shots." "Poles, they also of the Russian crown." "Now there're only Germans." "Singers, up front!" "Hey, you senny, Russian senny, new-made entrance to my home," "Brand-new senny, all of maple and of lattice handiwork." "Through these senny I will pass" "Arm-in-arm with my sweet lass." "Here comes a fair maid outside the new-made gate," "Brand-new gate of pure oak and of lattice handiwork." "She would let a falcon out, of her right sleeve he'll flutter out." "Fly on, falcon, high and far!" "Go on flying high and far," "Very high and very far to my dear home town," "To my dear home town!" "Good morning!" "Hurrah for the Austrians!" "Hurrah for the Russians!" "Hurrah for the whole world!" "Well, what is it, Prince?" "We've got orders to write a paper explaining why we're not advancing." "And why aren't we?" "No news from Mack?" "If Mack's been defeated and the allied forces destroyed, we would have known about it." "Perhaps." "I'd like to see Commander-in-Chief Kutuzov." "The Commander-in-Chief is engaged." "Whom shall I announce?" "General Kutuzov is busy!" "You see before you the unfortunate General Mack." " Why do you look so gloomy?" " There's nothing to rejoice about." "Step back." "Make way." "My congratulations!" "General Mack is here." "He is in good health, but a little bit knocked down up there." "Sir, if you prefer to be a clown," "I cannot do anything to stop you." "But I'm warning you that if you dare buffooning in my presence again" "I'll have to teach you good manners!" " I only congratulated." " I'm notjoking!" "Come on, dear, what is it with you?" "Can't you see?" "We're either officers serving our Czar and Fatherland, rejoicing over our common success or mourning our common failure, or we're lackeys who don't give a damn about the master's affairs." "Forty thousand people have died, our ally's army has been destroyed, and you are able to joke about it." "Only silly kids can amuse themselves in this way." "Isn't it charming how the Gascons show what they're made of?" "Well?" "Three of them go and seize a bridge." "The French cross the bridge and their army gets across the Danube." "But if the French have crossed the Thabor Bridge, that means Kutuzov's army is cut off, it is doomed!" "That's what it looks like." "Wait, I have some plans for you for this evening." "She is delightful, isn't she?" "Happy is the man who will possess her." "With her, the most unworldly husband would automatically take a prominent position in society, don't you think so?" " I wanted to know your opinion." " Yes, yes, she's beautiful." "Well, goodbye, Prince." "And God protect you." "May your great endeavor succeed." "You have my blessing." "Get in with me." "Permit me to stay in General Bagration's detachment." "Get in." "I also need good officers on my staff." "I also need them." "There's still much to be done." "Much to be gone through." "Should just one tenth of Bagration's soldiers return tomorrow," "I'll be grateful to Almighty God." "That's why I'd like to be assigned to this detachment." "With 4,000 exhausted men, Bagration had been entrusted to delay the entire enemy army for twenty-four hours." "This respite was indispensable to Kutuzov in order for him to get his transport-burdened army out of reach of the French troops, outnumbering his own three to one." "Gentlemen, what does this mean?" "You can't leave your posts!" "Take you, Captain." "You should be ashamed of yourself, Captain Tushin." "An officer should set a good example, and where're your boots?" "If the alarm were sounded, you'd be in your stocking feet!" "Wouldn't that be a pretty sight?" "So return to your posts, gentlemen." "The soldiers say you go faster without boots on." "Will you return to your posts?" "It was getting closer and closer, that special moment, for which so much work had been done and so much hardship endured," "for which soldiers had been drilled for fifteen years, homes and families left, and a peasant turned into a warrior," "for which 80,000 men lived in the field, without wives and children, without participation in the affairs of civil life, moving through a strange, unknown country." "They lived in the fields, on the roads, in the woods, neglecting all the amenities of a habitual human life." "For all those men, a road was not the way to their family, pleasures or work, but a way of bypassing or attacking, a house was not the hearth and home, but the ambush position," "people were not their brothers, but the tools and the necessary victims of death." "No, my friend, if a man could know what would be after his death," "none of us would fear death." "That's how it is, my friend." "Fear it or not, you won't escape it." "But you fear it anyway..." "There, you smart people." "You artillerymen are so smart because you can take everything with you, both vodka and snacks." "And still you fear." "Uncertainty, that's what one fears most." "Though they say that your soul will go to Heaven..." "We know there's no Heaven, it's all just the atmosphere." "Come on, give us a taste of your herbal vodka, Tushin." "With my pleasure." "And yet, to fathom your future life..." "It has begun!" "Here it is!" "It has begun!" "The battle!" "It's terrible, but glorious!" "It has begun!" "That's it!" "It has begun!" "That's it!" "Two points up should do it." "Load, Medvedev!" "Schoengraben is burning!" "Please, Your Highness, come away from here." "Please, Your Highness!" "For God's sake!" "Can't you see what's happening?" "The French!" "Fine looking soldiers." "Left, left..." "Left, left..." "Left, left..." "Left, left..." "Close in!" "Battalion, halt!" "Down knapsacks!" "God be with us!" "What is it?" "I don't move, I fell, I'm killed." "There are people coming." "They will help me." "Who are these people?" "They can't be the French." "O God, You who's in this sky, forgive, save and protect me." "Are they coming to me?" "Why?" "To kill me?" "Yes, they may kill me." "Me, who is loved by everyone?" "It's impossible that they would want to kill me!" "Captain Tushin's battery had been forgotten." "The troops assigned to cover it had withdrawn." "The enemy could not conceive that anyone would be so foolhardy as to go on fighting with four unprotected guns." "On the contrary, the French supposed that it was here, in the center, that the main Russian forces were concentrated." " Gentlemen, everyone fall back." " Fall back everyone!" " What shall we fire, Captain?" " Nothing." "A shell!" "Fire!" "All right, my little old lady, don't let me down!" "What do you know!" "Firing again." "Captain Tushin!" "Captain!" "Have you gone mad?" "Haven't you been ordered twice to fall back?" "I just..." "I..." "Fall back!" "Everybody fall back!" "Your Excellency!" "Here are two trophies." "I've captured a French officer, the whole company's a witness!" "Very well." "Remember, Your Excellency, I'm Dolokhov, reduced in rank!" "I received a bayonet wound!" "Stayed right up at the front!" "Remember, Your Excellency!" "Captain Tushin, you've been ordered to fall back." "Well, goodbye." "Goodbye, my friend." "Goodbye, dear man." "Captain, for God's sake, I've been contused in the arm." "For God's sake, I can't walk." "Give orders to put me on the cart." "Put him on." "Spread the coat, man." "Get on." "The thirty-five thousand men of Kutuzov's army were saved." "The next day the French army did not renew its assault and what was left of Bagration's detachmentjoined Kutuzov's army." " Does it hurt?" " Cut it out, for Christ's sake." "That's a lot of cripples for one day's action." "Captain, you're wanted by the general." "He's in that house." "I thank you all, gentlemen." "How did it happen that the gun was abandoned?" "I don't know, Your Excellency." "I had no men, Your Excellency." "You might have picked some up in the column that was covering you." "Tushin did not say that he had no covering troops, although this was the absolute truth." "He was afraid of getting some other officer into trouble." "Your Excellency!" "You sent me to Captain Tushin's battery today." "I found two thirds of his men and his horses knocked out, two of his guns disabled, and no covering troops at all." "And if Your Excellency will permit me to give my opinion, we owe today's success mainly to the action of that battery and the heroic endurance of Captain Tushin and his company." "Captain Tushin, you can go." "Thank you very much, my friend." "You really saved me." "Thanks very much." "Yesterday at the meeting of the Imperial Council, our new governor-general, Sergei Kuzmich, was reading the Czar's rescript from the army." "The rescript starts with the words:" ""Sergei Kuzmich, I have been hearing rumors on all sides..."" "Poor Count, he managed to get as far, that's all." "He never got any further than "Sergei Kuzmich"?" "No, not one iota further." ""Sergei Kuzmich"..." "On all sides, "Sergei Kuzmich"..." "Everything is going well." "He would try again several times, but as soon as he said "Sergei", he would choke, at "Kuzmich", he would sob, and "on all sides" would be drowned in tears." "Then he'd start again..." "It's time I understood her, and made up my mind what she really is." "Was I mistaken before?" "Or am I mistaken now?" "No, she's not stupid." "She's beautiful." "Are you pleased with this evening?" "This celebration of my name-day was one of the most pleasant." "It's quite late, I..." "Well, Helen?" ""Sergei Kuzmich on all sides..."" "Of course, it's a very brilliant match, but happiness, my dear..." "Marriages are made in heaven." ""Sergei Kuzmich..."" "What's the point of that story?" "I don't think I got it." "I didn't either." "Aline, why don't you go and see what they're doing." "Still the same." "Heaven be praised." "My wife has told me everything." "Helen, my dear!" "I'm so happy." "I loved your father so much." "You couldn't get a better wife." "God bless you, my children!" "Princess, come here, quickly!" "My child, God bless you." "Helen." "Oh, take those off..." "Those..." "Now it's too late." "It's done." "But I do love her." "The battle of Austerlitz was called at the time" ""The battle of the three Emperors"." "The Emperors of Russia and Austria were inspecting the allied armies." "What are we to do if Napoleon takes the offensive?" "It is unlikely." "Gentlemen, the dispositions for tomorrow, or rather today, for now it is after midnight, simply can't be changed." "You know them, and we shall do our duty." "And before the battle, the most important thing is a good sleep." "Yes, tomorrow, tomorrow." "I have a feeling that tomorrow for the first time" "I shall have a chance to show all I can do." "Mikhail Illarionovich, what do you think of tomorrow's battle?" "I think that the battle will be lost." "I said so to Count Tolstoy, and I asked him to tell the Czar." "I want glory." "I want to be known to men, to be loved by people." "It's not my fault I want that and live only for that." "Yes, for that alone!" "I shall never tell anyone about that." "But what am I to do?" "Death, wounds, the loss of my family, nothing frightens me." "I'd give everything for a moment of glory, for an instant of triumph, for the love of men I don't even know." "And what if there were nothing left but to die?" "Well, if I had to," "I should do that as well as anyone." "Your Excellency, your orders have been executed." "What are they doing?" "Good morning, Your Excellency!" "Attention!" "Why don't you begin, Mikhail Illarionovich?" "I'm waiting, Sire." "Not all the columns have had time to form up." "We're not at a parade, Mikhail Illarionovich, where they don't begin until everyone's there." "That is exactly why I wait, Sire, because it's not a parade and we're not at Tsaritsyn Field." "However, if such is your command, Your Majesty..." "At five o'clock that afternoon, the battle was irretrievably lost on all fronts." " The enemy's there." " No!" "Look!" "That's it, men!" "Hold it!" "Where are you going?" "Are you wounded?" "My real wound is over there." "Stop them!" "Oh, Bolkonsky, what's going on?" "Forward, boys!" "How quiet it is." "How peaceful and yet how majestic." "It's so different from all the charging and shouting we made." "How is it that I'd never noticed this boundless sky before?" "And how happy I am to have found it at last!" "Yes, all is vanity and deception, except that boundless sky." "There is nothing, nothing, except that." "But perhaps even this sky does not exist, perhaps there is nothing at all but stillness and peace." "God be praised!" "That's a beautiful death." "End of Part One" "PART TWO" "Denissov!" "We're home!" "Nicky!" "Nicky!" "Candles!" "Tea!" "I didn't expect!" "Nicky, my dear!" "What about me?" "Vassily Denissov." "Your son's friend." "Welcome!" "I know, Nicky wrote about you." "Natasha, Vera, here's Denissov." "We are happy to meet you." "Oh, how good it is." "Splendid!" "Princess Maria!" "Andrei?" "I've just got news." "He's not a prisoner, nor is his body found." "Kutuzov writes me..." "he was killed." "Father, don't turn away." "Let's weep together." "The scoundrels!" "The murderers!" "They destroy the army, the people." "What for?" "Go and tell Lisa." "Father, tell me how it happened." "Go on." "Killed on the battlefield where the best Russian men and Russian glory were led to their death." "Go on, Princess Maria!" "Go and tell Lisa." "I'll be right with you." "Marie, let me have your hand." "There..." "Do you feel it?" "It feels so strange." "And you know, Marie, I'm going to love him so much." "What's the matter, Marie?" "Nothing." "I just feel sad." "Feel sad about Andrei." "Have you got any news from him?" "No." "You know it's too early to get any news." "But Father is worried, and I'm scared." "So, nothing?" "Nothing." "Mitya, ride to our country estate and tell Maxim the gardener to pay his due to the landowner." "By Friday I'll need here two hundred pots." "Besides, we'll need singers, strawberries and pineapples." "Don't worry, Count, now that young Bezukhov is here, we can get everything from his hothouses." "Yes, you tell Bezukhov to come too." "I'll include him in the list." " Is he here with his wife?" " My friend, he is so unhappy." "That young Bezukhov is such a heavenly, sublime soul." "I'll try to cheer him up." "What happened anyway?" "Dolokhov, Maria Ivanovna's son, has compromised her reputation." "Pierre introduced him to society, invited to his St. Petersburg home..." "Now she came to Moscow and this dare-devil followed her." "They say Pierre is absolutely heart-broken." "Tell him to come to the club anyway." "He will forget about everything." "We'll have quite a party!" "What's the matter with you?" "Don't you hear it?" "To the health of our Emperor!" "I hadn't recognized you." "Wouldn't you like to renew old acquaintances?" "Forget him." "He's a fool." "To the health of the hero of our last campaign," "His Highness Pyotr Ivanovich Bagration!" "Crowned with laurels and with glory For your famous, heroic deeds," "Russia's pride that's great in story," "Fate has brought you in our midst!" "After battle find your peace In your fellow citizens' circle." "We have heard many a time" "Of your feats, gallant and bold." "It's a pleasure as sublime For all Moscow you to behold." "After battle find your peace In your fellow citizens' circle." "And now let's drink to the health of beautiful women!" "You can't see too well through your glasses." "Your wife's liaison with Dolokhov is a secret to no one but yourself." "You can't see too well through your glasses." "Your wife's liaison with Dolokhov is a secret to no one but yourself." "To beautiful women, Petrousha, and to their lovers." "You can't see too well through your glasses." "Your wife's liaison with Dolokhov is a secret to no one but yourself." "Don't you dare take it!" "No, I will keep it!" "You..." "You are a scoundrel!" "You will give me satisfaction!" "Maybe I'd have done the same thing in Dolokhov's place." "It's even certain that I'd have done the same." "Then why this duel?" "This murder?" "I should go away, run, hide somewhere!" "At this moment, a very solemn one for you, Count," "I wouldn't be doing my duty if I didn't speak frankly." "In my opinion, there're not sufficient grounds for this duel, the matter's not worth blood being shed over." "You weren't quite in the right, Count, you lost your temper." "Yes, that was stupid." "Then please allow me to convey your regrets, and I'm convinced our opponents will accept your apologies." " Let me negotiate with them." " There's no point in that." "It makes no difference." "Well, are we ready?" " But perhaps we could..." " Absolutely no apologies!" "You just tell me which way should I walk and where should I fire?" "What?" "Yes, that's the way it's done." "I know, I've just forgotten." " Shall we begin?" " I suppose so." "Since there can be no reconciliation, we may begin." "When I count three, start advancing towards each other." "One, two..." "Three!" "No, no!" "It's not over!" "Get back to the barrier!" "Cover yourself!" "I missed!" "I missed..." "It's so stupid, stupid..." "Death." "Death." "Lies!" "So stupid." "Death and lies..." "Well?" "How are you?" "I'm all right." "But I've killed her." "I've killed her..." "She won't get through this." "Who?" "My mother." "My mother." "My angel, my adorable angel." "My mother." "Rostov was greatly surprised to learn that Dolokhov, that brawler and duellist, lived in Moscow with his old mother and hunchbacked sister and was a most loving son and brother." "Now what's all this?" "What have you done, I'm asking you?" "Me?" "Why?" "I..." "You've decided to be a hero!" "What's the meaning of this duel?" "What were you trying to prove?" "So, you won't answer?" "Then I'm going to tell you." "You believe everything anybody says." "You were told that Dolokhov was my lover, and you believed it." "What did you prove by doing this?" "What could you prove with this duel?" "That you are a fool?" "But everyone already knew that." "Now all this'll end up in my being the laughing stock of Moscow." "And everyone will be able to say that you had drunk so much that you challenged a man of whom you were jealous for no reason and who, in every way, is a better man than you are." "What ever made you think that he was my lover?" "Because I've enjoyed his company?" "If you hadn't been so dull I might have enjoyed yours more." "Will you stop speaking?" "Please." "Why should I stop speaking?" "I'm going to say outright that there isn't another woman who married to such a husband wouldn't have taken several lovers." "And I've never had any." "I think we had better separate." "Separate?" "Only on the condition that you give me a fortune." "Separate!" "Don't you think you can frighten me!" "I'm going to kill you!" "Get out!" "Tikhon!" "Go upstairs to Maria Bogdanovna and just say to her:" ""The Prince has sent me to ask how she is?"" "Then come back and tell me what she says." "You can tell His Highness that labor has started." "According to a popular belief, the fewer people know about the suffering of a woman in labor the less is her suffering." "Everyone pretended to be unaware of it." "Nobody spoke about it, but everyone in the house wore a common stamp of worry, of soft-heartedness and of knowing that something" "momentous and incomprehensible was happening at that time." "If God is merciful, no doctor would be needed." "Princess, someone is coming." "Up the driveway, with lanterns lighted." "Must be the doctor." "Thank God!" "I'll go out to meet him." "He doesn't speak Russian." " Is the Princess well?" " Very well." "No, it can't be!" "It would be so incredible!" "There is a kind fate!" "Masha, my dear!" "Oh, darling..." "God is merciful." "She was not surprised at seeing him there." "She didn't understand that he had returned." "His coming had nothing to do with her agony, nor with its relief." "No, you're not allowed in." "Why have they taken a baby in there?" "Why a baby?" "Has a baby been born?" "I loved you all." "I did no harm to anyone." "And now what have you done to me?" "What have you done?" "Oh, what have you done to me?" "And why?" "I can't begin to tell you what I've been through since then." "Yes, we have all changed a great deal." " What are your plans?" " My plans?" "What can I say?" "But why aren't you serving in the army?" "After Austerlitz?" "No, thank you very much." "If Bonaparte were here, near Smolensk," "I wouldn't serve in our army even then." " Did you hear about the duel?" " You had to go through that too." "The one thing I thank God for is he wasn't killed." "Why?" "Killing a mad dog is a good thing." "It's evil to kill a man." "It's wrong." "But why is it wrong?" "It's not up to men to judge what is right and what is wrong." "Men will always be wrong, and never so wrong as when they decide what's right and wrong." "Anything that does harm to another man is wrong." "How can you be sure what will do harm to another man?" "Personally, I know of only two real evils in life:" "Remorse and sickness." "And happiness is the absence of those two evils." "To live for one's self in such a way as to avoid these two evils is my whole philosophy now." "But how can anyone live for himself alone?" "No, no, I couldn't live like that." "I'm feeling deep in my heart that I'm part of this vast, harmonious whole." "I feel that not only I cannot disappear, as nothing disappears in this world, but I have been and will be forever." "This is Herder's philosophy." "But it's not going to convince me." "Life and death are the only convincing things." "I'm only convinced when I've seen someone who's dear to me, who's close to me, toward whom I behaved wrongly and still hoped to make it right," "all of a sudden suffering terrible pain and breathing her last." "What on earth for?" "There must be some answer!" "Of course..." "I mean it's not argument that convinces me, it's setting out in life with someone you love and suddenly that someone disappears... into nothingness." "You stop before that abyss and have a look down there." "Just as I have done." "Of course." "Isn't that exactly what I've been saying?" "We must live." "We must love." "We must believe that we're not only living now on this lump of earth, but that we have lived and shall live forever, in everything." "Your Highness, isn't it good?" " What?" " Isn't it good, Your Highness?" "What is he talking about?" "Yes, the spring, I suppose." "It's true, everything is green already." "So soon." "The birch, the bird-cherry..." "And the alder is opening up." "Only the oak shows no signs of life." "Yes, there's the oak." "Spring..." "Love..." "Happiness..." "Haven't you grown weary of this same stupid, meaningless delusion?" "It's always the same, and it's always a lie." "There is no spring, no sun, and no happiness." "I don't believe in your hopes and in your illusions." "Yes, the oak is right, a thousand times right." "Let the others, the young, to be taken in by this delusion." "We who know life know that it is finished." "Yet we must live out our lives, doing no harm, and not worrying or desiring anything." "His obligations as trustee of the family's Ryazan estate compelled Prince Andrei to call upon the local Marshal of Nobility, Count Rostov." " Just once more!" " But when are you coming to bed?" "I can't sleep anyway." "What can I do?" "Oh, isn't it lovely?" "Now let's go to bed!" "You go." "I can't." "Sonya, how can you sleep?" "Just look how lovely it is." "Oh, wake up, Sonya!" "There's never been such a beautiful night." "Will you look at that moonlight?" "Oh, it's marvelous!" "Come and look, please, my dear." "You see?" "It makes me want to sit down on my heels, like this, put my arms around my knees... and hug them tight, as tight as I can," "and then I'd fly up." "Like this!" "Yes, it was here, in this forest, that I saw that oak, with which we agreed." "But where is it?" "Yes, it's the same oak!" "I loved you all." "I've done no harm to anyone." "And now what have you done to me?" "We must live." "We must love." "We must believe that we're not only living now on this lump of earth, but that we have lived and shall live forever, in everything." "No, life is not over at thirty-one." "It's not enough for me to know what I have in me." "Everyone else must know it too:" "Pierre and that little girl who wanted to fly away." "Everyone must know me so that my life won't be spent for myself alone." "My life must be reflected in theirs, and all the others must live my life with me!"

"In the meantime, life, the actual life of people, with its concerns of health, sickness, work, rest, and the interest people take in thinking, the sciences, poetry, music, love, friendship, hatred, passion," "went on as usual, independently and outside of the political issue of friendship or war with Napoleon Bonaparte." "January, February, March, April..." "Come on, speak, Mama." "This won't do, my dear." "Not everyone can understand your childhood friendship." "Seeing you two being so close may be detrimental to you, and what's more important, it's making him wretched for nothing." "He might have already found a good match, and now he's going crazy." "Is he?" "I'll tell you about myself." "I had a cousin..." "I know, Kirill Matveyevich." "But he's an old man." "He was not always old." "I'll speak to Boris." "He mustn't come so often." " Why not, if he wants to?" " Because it can't come to anything." "Mama, what nonsense!" "All right, I won't marry him, but let him come if we both enjoy it." "Not to be married, but -just so..." " How so, my dear?" " Oh, just so." "I don't want to get married at all." "Just so..." "Stop laughing." "You're shaking the bed." "You're so much like me, just another giggler." "Well, is he very much in love?" "What do you think?" "Did someone love you as much?" "Besides, he's very nice." "Only not quite to my liking." "He's so narrow, like the grandfather clock in the dining-room." " Do you know what I mean?" " No." " Narrow, gray, light-colored..." " What nonsense you talk!" "Don't you really understand?" "Nikolenka would understand." "Bezukhov, for instance, is blue." "Navy blue and red." "And he's quadrangular." " You're flirting with him, too." " No, he's a Freemason." "He's a darling, navy blue and red." "How can I explain it to you?" "Countess, are you asleep?" "No one can understand all that I have in me." "Sonya?" "No, how could she?" "She's too virtuous." "Even mother can't understand me." "It's amazing how clever I am and..." "She is so charming." "She's got everything." "Extraordinarily intelligent, pretty, graceful." "She swims, rides beautifully, and her voice!" "She's got a marvelous voice!" "On December 31, on the eve of the new year 1810, a Catherine court dignitary was giving a grand ball." "The Czar and the diplomatic corps were expected to attend." "The Rostovs were invited, too, and Natasha was preparing for the first great ball of her life." "Sonya!" "That bow isn't right." "Come here, will you?" " Aren't you ready?" "It's nearly 10." " Coming!" " Are you ready, Mama?" " I only have my cap to pin on." " Don't do it without me!" " But it's ten o'clock already!" "Mavrusha, darling, hurry!" " Aren't you ever going to be ready?" " In a minute." "Don't come in, Papa!" "Can it be that no one will ask me to dance?" "That no one will notice me?" "No, it can't be!" "They have got to know how I long to dance, how wonderfully I dance, and how glad they'll be to dance with me." "This is indeed interesting..." "You always dance, don't you?" "I have a protegee here, the Rostov girl." " Will you ask her to dance?" " Where is she?" "Excuse me, I'd be happy to go on with our talk some other time." "But at a ball one should dance." "I want you to meet my daughter." "I have the pleasure of her acquaint- ance, if the Countess remembers me." "Would you do me the honor for a waltz?" "If she goes to her cousin first, then to another lady, it will mean she will be my wife." "Isn't this marvelous?" "Yes, it is." "I'm very glad." "Oh, that's you." "I've been working." "My dear, I have never experienced anything like that." "I'm in love, my friend." " Well?" " Mama, don't ask me anything now." " With Natasha Rostova?" " Yes." "Who else?" "This feeling is too strong for me." "I wasn't really living until now." "Only now I feel alive, but I can't live without her." "How could she ever love me?" "I've never felt like this before!" "But I feel scared when I'm with him." "Does that mean it's the real thing?" " Why don't you say something?" " Me?" "I've been telling you..." " Mama, are you asleep?" " No, my darling, I'm frightened." "I know I won't sleep anyway." "I never felt like this before!" "That girl is such a treasure..." "She's such a rare girl." "I'm asking you, don't try to rationalize, have no doubts, marry her, and I'm sure that there will never be a happier man." " But how about her?" " She loves you." " Nonsense, Pierre." " Yes, I know it." " I must talk to someone about it." " Go on, I'd be glad to." "It had to happen that he came to St. Petersburg when we were here." "And we had to meet at that ball." "It was Fate, I'm sure." "Yes, it must have been that." "For me now, the world is divided into two." "She is one part where you find happiness, hope and light." "The other part is all where she isn't, and that's all gloom." "Gloom and darkness." "Yes, I know what you mean." "Can a man help preferring light to gloom?" "I'm so happy." " I know you're glad for my sake." " Yes, yes." "Mama, darling, how I love you!" "How happy I am!" "Three weeks went by." "Not once did Prince Bolkonsky call on the Rostovs." "Natasha, darling, perhaps he's ill." "After all, he was wounded at Austerlitz." "Please, don't, Mama!" "I don't want to think about him." "He just started visiting us and then stopped." "And I don't feel like getting married." "I'm afraid of the man." "I mean what I'm saying." "Why think that much about it?" "Things are fine as they are." "Yes, that's me!" "And I don't need anyone." "What a charming creature that Natasha is!" "She's pretty, has a nice voice, she is young, she doesn't bother anyone." "Just leave her alone!" "Mama, Bolkonsky is here!" "Mama, it's awful!" "I don't want to be tortured!" "Who's here?" "Why?" "Oh please, Natasha!" "It's such a long time since we have had the pleasure..." "I haven't been to visit you because I had to see my father." "There was something very important I had to talk to him about." "I would like to speak to you, Countess." "Go, Natasha, I will call you." "Lord, have pity on me." "Lord, please help me." "Well, Mama?" "Go to him." "He's asking for your hand." "Can it be that this stranger has become everything to me now?" "Now he's dearer to me than anything else in the world." "Since the very first minute I saw you I have loved you." "Please say that I can hope." "Why ask?" "Why doubt what it's impossible not to know?" "Why talk when you can't express with words what you feel?" " Do you love me?" " Oh yes, yes..." " What is it?" "Is something wrong?" " I feel so happy." "Now, Prince Andrei no longer felt the same love for her as before." "Something within him had changed." "There was none of the former poetic charm of attraction, only a kind of pity for her feminine and childish weakness, a sort of terror before her devotion and trustfulness." "Although this new feeling was not as poetic as the old one, it was stronger and more serious." "Did your mother tell you that we cannot be married for a year?" "Is it possible that it's me?" "Is it possible that from now on I'm to be the wife, the equal of this stranger, who is so intelligent and charming, whom even my father looks up to?" "Can it be true that life is no longer a game, that now I'm responsible for everything I do and say?" "But what was it he asked me?" "You are so young, and I've already been through such a great deal." "It's for you that I'm afraid." "You don't know yourself yet." "Difficult as it is for me to wait an entire year, delaying my happiness, it will give you some time to test yourself." "I'm asking you to make me happy in a year." "But till then you are free." "Our engagement will remain secret." "And should you find that you do not love me..." "Why do you say that?" "From the first day you came to Otradnoye, I have loved you." "In one year you will learn to know yourself." "A whole year?" "Why wait a year?" "Can't anything be done?" "It's frightening!" "I'll die waiting a year!" "Why, it's so awful!" "No!" "I'll do anything." "I feel so happy!" "There was no ceremony and their betrothal was not announced to anyone." "Don't go." "I beg you, Natalie, God knows what may happen." "Perhaps you will stop loving me..." "I know I shouldn't talk about that." "But whatever may happen to you when I'm not here..." "Don't go..." "Whatever may happen, go to Pierre for help." "He's the most absent-minded man, but he has a heart of gold." "Don't go..." "How indignant Pierre would have been seven years before, when he'd returned from his sojourn abroad, if someone had told him that there would be no need for him to seek or plan anything, that his path had long ago been traced and predetermined for him." "Sometimes he consoled himself that the life he led was a temporary thing." "But then he would be shocked by another thought:" "How many other men had temporarily slipped into this sort of life, just as he had, with all their teeth and all their hair, only to leave it without a single tooth and without a single hair." "Why?" "What for?" "What was going on in the world?" "Now and then Pierre recalled what he had been told of soldiers under fire in ambuscade when they have nothing to do, how they try hard to find occupation so as to bear their danger more easily." "And Pierre pictured all men as such soldiers trying to find a refuge from life, some in ambition, some in cards, some in framing laws, some in women, some in games, some in horses, some in politics, some in sport, some in wine," "some in the government service." "Nothing is trivial, nothing is important." "Only one thing matters:" "To escape from her as best I can!" "Only not to see her, that dreadful her." "Under the influence of wine he would say to himself:" ""I'll get it straightened out." "I have a solution already." "But I'll think it over later on!"" "The trouble was this "later on" never came." "Good morning, Uncle!" "All's well and quick march!" "I knew you couldn't resist it." "You had better attack at once, for my Girchik reported that the Ilaghins are out with their hounds at Korniki." "They'll snatch the litter right under your noses." "That's where I'm going." "Shall we join the packs?" "Good morning, Uncle!" "See?" "We're going too!" "Good morning to you." "Be careful you don't trample the hounds." "We won't get in anyone's way." "We'll stay in our places." "A good thing too, little Countess, only don't fall off your horse, since there's nothing for a horse to hold on to." "Have you seen Natalya Ilyinichna?" "Where is she?" "She and Pyotr Ilyich are standing behind the high grass at Zharov." "A lady, but she has a great love for the chase." "And you wonder at her riding, eh?" " It wouldn't be amiss for a man." " Yes!" "So daring, so smart!" "You old hag, don't scare the game off, or old Danila'll curse you..." "I know a thing or two myself!" "They're on the track of the litter." "In the Lyadovsky uplands." "Stand still!" "There!" "He slipped by you!" "Some hunters!" "Dear Lord, what would it cost You to do this for me?" "I know it's a sin to ask You such a thing." "But please, let the wolf come out my way!" "Just once in my life let me get a hermit wolf, that's all I want!" "Keep going or go back?" "Keep going!" "What a magnificent wolf!" " A real hermit wolf, eh?" " The meanest one, Your Excellency." "As mean as you are, Danila." "That's my little Countess, all's well, quick march!" "I never saw an amazon like her!" "Dawn to sundown, riding sidesaddle, and she's as fresh as a daisy!" "Have a taste of this, little Countess." "Come on, Petya, wake up!" "Taste some of this, it's delicious!" "This is how I'm finishing my days." "When you die, there's nothing left at all." "All's well, quick march." "So why complain..." "Open the door!" "Why have you shut it?" "That's my coachman." "I've bought him a good balalaika." "How nice!" "It's really good." "What do you mean, good?" "It's simply enchanting!" "Please, go on!" "Play some more." "You enjoy it, little Countess?" "He plays very well, doesn't he?" "That's not the way to do it." "You should hear trills there, all's well, quick march!" "Can you play, Uncle?" "Anisya, will you see if the strings are all right on the guitar?" "I haven't touched it for a long time, all's well, quick march!" "Beautiful, Uncle!" "Go on!" "More!" "Please, dear Uncle!" "Now then, my dear niece..." "Where, when, how had this little Countess, reared in silk and velvet by a French governess, ever managed to absorb, with only the air she breathed, this manner that was so typically Russian?" "And yet the spirit and gestures were precisely and inimitably Russian, which her uncle expected to find in her." "How did she manage to grasp everything that was in Anisya, in Anisya's father, in her mother, in every Russian man or woman?" "Well done, my little Countess!" "That's my niece!" "All you need now is to pick out a worthy young man for a husband!" "He's already picked out." "Yes, and a very good one!" "What did Nikolai's smile mean when he said, "he's already picked out"?" "He acts as if he thought that my Bolkonsky wouldn't understand, wouldn't approve of this wonderful time we're having." "But he would understand." "Where is he now?" "But I mustn't think about him." "Night has laid out a blanket" "Of the newly-fallen snow." "Swept it over every pathway" "In the field of predawn glow." "It's not sorrow that's eating" "A good fellow, it's woe." "A good fellow is grieving..." " What are you thinking about?" " Me?" "Wait." "I was thinking that here we're driving thinking we're going home." "But actually, we're going Heaven knows where and finally we'd arrive and find we weren't at Otradnoye, but that we were in a fairy land." "And then I thought..." "No, that was all." " You were certainly thinking of him." " No." "And also I was thinking how beautiful Anisya was." "I know that I shall never be as happy as I am now." "Nonsense, gibberish, folly." "What a treasure my Natasha is!" "I have no other friend like her and I'll never have." "Why does she have to marry?" "We could have gone like this forever." "What a treasure my Nikolai is." "Oh, if he'd only come back sooner." "I'm afraid we'll never get married." "Worst of all, I'm getting older..." "I shall no longer be what I am now." "But what if he comes today?" "Perhaps he came yesterday, and I've forgotten it?" "What am I to do with them?" "Oh yes, Nikita, will you please go and..." "Where am I to send him?" "Yes, will you please go to the yard and bring me a rooster?" "Nastasya Ivanovna, what shall I give birth to?" "You?" "Fleas." "Dragon-flies, grasshoppers." "Oh, my God, the same old thing." "Where am I to go?" "What am I to do with myself?" "The Island of Mad-a-gas-car." "Mad-a-gas-car." "Madagascar." "Do you feel sometimes that nothing is going to happen to you anymore, that everything good had already happened, and you feel not so much bored, as sad?" "Oh yes, very often!" "I remember moments, when everybody around is cheerful, it suddenly strikes me that I'm sick of it all, and all must die." "I didn't go to a squadron party once, and there the music was playing, and I felt all at once so dreary." "I know it." "I know it." "Even when I was quite little, I used to have that feeling." "Do you remember, I was punished once for eating some plums, and you were all dancing, and I sat in the study sobbing?" "I shall never forget it." "I felt so miserable and sorry for everyone." "And what's most important, I wasn't to blame." "I remember that I came to you later and I longed to comfort you." "We used to be so funny." "I had a dummy toy then, and I wanted to give it to you." " Do you remember it, Sonya?" " Yes, I do remember something." "How strange it is, as though it were a dream." "I like that." "And do you remember how Papa, in his blue fur coat, fired a gun off on the porch?" "Do you remember what fun it was?" " They've brought a rooster, Miss." " Tell them to take it back." "I think that when one goes on remembering and remembering, one remembers till one recalls what happened before one was in this world." "That's metempsychosis." "The Egyptians used to believe that our souls had been in animals, and would go into animals again." "I don't believe we were once in animals, but I know for certain that we were once angels somewhere, and we have been here, and that's why we remember everything." "If we had been angels, why should we have fallen lower?" "Not lower." "Who told you we were lower?" "This is how I know I have existed before." "The soul is immortal, you know." "If I'm to live forever, that means I have lived for all eternity." "But it's hard for us to conceive of eternity." "Why is it hard?" "There's today, there will be tomorrow, and there will be forever, and yesterday has been, and the day before." "The mummers are here!" " Natasha!" " Did you see?" "Did you see him?" "Yes." " Wait, I... saw him." " Standing or lying down?" "At first there wasn't anything." "Then suddenly, I saw him lying down." " Lying down?" "Could he be ill?" " No." "His face was cheerful." "What happened then, Sonya?" "I couldn't make it out." "I saw something blue and red." "When is he going to come back?" "When shall I see him again?" "I'm so afraid for him, and for myself, and about everything else..." "Prince Andrei wants his year reduced by three months." "So write him and tell him to wait till I'm dead." "It won't take long." "Go ahead, marry, dear son." "What a fine alliance!" "Smart people, eh?" "And rich, eh?" "And what a stepmother he's going to give poor Nikolushka!" "Let him marry tomorrow if he wants!" "And I'll marry our governess!" "He mustn't be without a stepmother, either!" "But I'm not going to put up with any more women in my house!" "Would you like to live with him, too?" "Bon voyage and good riddance!" "Put the Count's things over here." "The young ladies' - on the left." "You've grown plumper and prettier." "Phoo!" "How cold you are!" "Maria Dmitrievna, my Countess has gotten ill." "Our house isn't heated." "I took an opportunity of your invitation, and here we are." "High time you did." "I'm so glad you could come." "The old Bolkonsky's in Moscow." "His son is also expected any day." "You really should make his acquaintance." "His highness cannot see you, but her highness, the Princess, asks you to come up." "You see, my dear Princess, I've brought you my little songstress." "I'm so happy that you can get to know each other." "I have long wanted to do so, Count." "I'm very glad." "I'm sorry to hear that the Prince is unwell." "If you'll permit, Princess," "I'd like to leave my Natasha in your hands for a quarter of an hour." "I would like to drop in on Anna Semyonovna." "Then I'll come back and pick her up." "Please spend the longest time possible at your friend's." "My dear Natalie, I'm so delighted to see that my brother has found happiness at last." "I think, Princess, that it's not opportune to talk about that now." "Ah, Mademoiselle!" "Countess Rostova, if I am not mistaken?" "I beg your pardon." "God is my witness, I didn't know that you've honored us with a visit." "It was to my daughter that I came in this costume." "Please excuse me." "So help me God, I didn't know." "I beg you to excuse me." "After all, what do his father and sister matter to me?" "He's the one I love and he alone." "No, I'd better not think of him." "I'd better forget him for now." "Look what a cap Anna Mikhailovna has on." "That's the Karaghins with Julie and Boris." "One can see they're engaged." "Drubetskoy has made a proposal." "I heard so today." "How long have you been in town, Countess?" "I have some business here, too, and I've brought my girls with me." "They say, Semyonova's acting is superb." "Here he is, Kuraghin!" "I can't call on you." "Does it mean I'll never see you again?" "How madly I'm in love with you!" "Never to see you again?" "Natalie!" "Just one word!" "For the love of God!" "One word!" "Mademoiselle, a man asked me to give you this." "Since last evening, my fate is sealed:" "To be loved by you or to die." "I have no other choice." "Forget all this." "There's time yet." "Stop talking nonsense." "If you only knew what this means to me." "I'm being serious." "What you're planning is no joke." "Stop teasing me!" "Go to the devil!" "I've helped you plan this, but you must be told the truth." "This affair is dangerous, and when you think of it, it's stupid." "All right, you'll take the girl away, but they won't let it go at that." "They're going to find out you're married." "They'll take you to court!" "Rubbish!" "Haven't I explained everything to you?" "If this marriage is invalid, I won't have to answer for anything." "And if it's valid, in a foreign country no one will know a thing." "So I don't want to hear about it any more." " You'll get your head in a noose." " You go to the devil!" "You don't understand what I'm going through." "Just feel it beating." "What a lovely foot she has!" "And the look in her eye!" "A pure goddess!" " When your money's gone, what then?" " What then?" "How am I to know what then?" "Don't talk nonsense." "Sonya, I can't keep it from you any longer." "We're in love." "He's written to me, Sonya..." "And Bolkonsky?" "You can't imagine how happy I am!" "You mean you're breaking up with Prince Andrei?" "You don't understand anything." "Stop this nonsense, listen to me." "I'm not going to let you do it." "I will tell." "If you tell, then you're my enemy!" "You want to ruin my life." "You can't meddle in such affairs." "I confided in you..." "Why doesn't he come right out and ask for your hand?" "After all, Prince Andrei has given you complete freedom." "You mustn't doubt him, Sonya, don't you understand?" " What if he's not an honorable man?" " I can't live without him!" "I don't understand you!" "Think of your father, of Nikolai!" "I don't need anyone!" "I don't love anybody except him!" "I don't want to quarrel." "Please go!" "Don't you see that I'm suffering?" "Well, lads, friends of my youth, we have had jolly sprees together!" "Now, when shall we meet again?" "I'm going abroad." "Farewell!" " Let's get going!" " And where's the sable coat?" "Ignatka!" "Go upstairs and ask for a sable coat!" "She'll come out nearly dead with fright, wearing whatever she had on." "If you don't act fast, she'll get cold and want to go back." "Then you wrap the coat around her and carry her over to the sleigh." "You idiot!" "I said sable, didn't I?" "Come on, take it." "I won't miss it." "I shall demonstrate." "That's the way." "See?" "Giddyap!" "She will be out directly." " Will you come to the mistress?" " What mistress?" "My orders are to bring you in." "Kuraghin!" "We've been betrayed!" "Maria Dmitrievna, let me in to see her, for God's sake!" "Shameless girl!" "Wretched little hussy!" "A fine thing!" "Arranging meetings with lovers under my roof." "Enough of those crocodile tears." "Listen to me when I speak to you." "You've disgraced yourself, like a common girl of the streets." "I don't know what I'd have done if I didn't feel sorry for your father." "A lucky thing for that scoundrel that he escaped, but he'll be found." "Will you listen to what I'm saying?" "Let me alone." "I don't care." "I'm going to die!" "Natasha!" "I'm doing this for your own good." "Now lie still, I won't touch you." "What am I going to tell your father when he comes back tomorrow?" " What if he and your fiance find out?" " I have no fiance." "I've broken up." "Makes no difference." "He'll find out." "Do you think he'll keep quiet?" "He might even challenge that scoundrel to a duel." "What then?" "Will you leave me alone?" "Why did you have to meddle?" "Who asked you to do that?" "Just what did you expect?" "Suppose he had kidnapped you?" "Do you think you'd get away with it?" "He's a scoundrel, that's what he is!" "He's better than any of you!" "Why did you have to interfere?" "Oh, merciful God, why?" "Sonya, why?" "Will you get out?" "Everyone hates me, despises me!" "You are worse than a cad." "You're a scoundrel!" "Why am I denying myself the pleasure of smashing your head?" " Had you promised to marry her?" " I..." "I didn't think." "Well, I couldn't make any promises because I'm married already." "Have you any letters from her?" "I won't do anything to you, don't be afraid." "I've got the letters." "Now you will have to leave Moscow by morning." "And one other thing." "You'll never breathe a word about what happened." "I know I can't prevent you from doing so, but if there remains in you a scrap of human conscience..." "If you must, go to women like my wife for your diversion." "They know what you want, and so there you're within your rights." "They're as well armed as you with the same experience of debauchery." "But deceiving a girl whom you've vowed to marry... kidnapping her..." "Have you never been told that it's just as cowardly and infamous as killing an old man or a child?" "I wouldn't know and I really don't care to know." "But you used certain words, like cowardly and so on, that I cannot condone as a man of honor." "Although there are no witnesses, still I'm not going..." "You want satisfaction?" "You might at least take back your insults, if you want me to comply with your wishes." "I take back my words and ask you to forgive me." "And should you need any money for yourjourney..." "What a breed you are!" "Mean, sordid, heartless!" "Her letters and her portrait." "Would you return them to the Countess?" "She is very ill." "So she is still here?" "And Prince Kuraghin?" "He left long ago." "She almost died." "I'm very sorry to hear of her illness." "I take it, Monsieur Kuraghin did not honor her with his hand?" "He couldn't marry because he was already married." "And where might your brother-in-law be now, if I may ask?" "He left for St. Petersburg..." "Actually I've no idea where he is." "You may tell Countess Rostova she's always been and remains free, and that I wish her every happiness." "Do you remember that discussion we had in St. Petersburg..." "Yes, I told you that one should forgive a fallen woman." "But I never said I would be able to." "I can't forgive." "But can this be compared?" "Once more to ask for her hand, to be magnanimous?" "I am not up to following the same path as that gentleman." "If you want to be my friend, don't talk to me again about that... about all this." "Well, goodbye." "Pyotr Kirillovich, Prince Bolkonsky is your friend." "He once told me I could come to you for help." "Now the Prince is here..." "Could you tell him to... to please forgive me?" " Yes, I will tell him, but..." " I know everything's finished." "What torments me is that I have hurt him so." "Can you tell him that I beg him to forgive me for everything." "Yes, I'll tell him." "I will do as you ask." "Only I'd like to know one thing..." "I would like to know whether you loved..." "Did you love that evil man?" "You mustn't call him evil." "I don't know anymore." "Then we won't speak of it again, my dear." "I will tell him everything, but you must think of me as your friend." "If you ever need help, if you feel like confiding in someone, not right now, but when you can see in yourself more clearly," "remember I'm your friend." "If there's anything I can do, I would be happy..." "Please don't be so kind." "I don't deserve it!" "Don't say that!" "Your whole life still lies ahead of you." "No!" "For me, everything's finished." "Everything is finished?" "If I were somebody else, somebody who was good-Iooking, intelligent and the best of men, and if I were free," "I would be right now at your feet asking for your hand and your love." "It seemed to him that this dazzling comet was the perfect symbol of what he felt in his compassionate soul which brimmed with the blossom of a new life."

"Will you listen to me, Papa and Mama?" "I have decided." "You'll have to let me join the army." "You can't stop me!" " Don't be silly." "You should study!" " I'm not being silly, Papa." "Fedya Obolensky's even younger than I'm and he's going." "And besides, how do you expect me to study when... when... our country's in danger?" "You keep quiet, will you please?" "I tell you I'm serious." "Nonsense!" "He's still wet behind the ears and he wants to go to war!" "Just listen to him!" "Almighty God!" "Take Thou the lance and shield, and rise up to aid us." "Put to shame and confusion them that have devised evil against us, and let Thy mighty angel confound and destroy their ilk." "Smite down our enemies and trample them swiftly underfoot." "Our father, the Czar!" "Hurrah!" "Which one is the Czar?" "Which one is the Czar?" "Kutuzov has done nothing else but cause annoyance to the Czar." "How is it possible to appoint as our commander-in-chief a man who can't mount a horse, who goes to sleep at council meetings?" "His morals are the worst you can conceive." "I won't even dwell upon his so- called qualities as a strategist." "At a time like this how can anyone call on a man who is so old?" "Just imagine." "A blind general!" "He can't see anything." "He could only play blind man's bluff." "Never have our forces fought with such valor." "But the fate of the army and of the fatherland are in the hands of a good minister and a bad general." "Barclay is delaying action." "The whole army is critical of him." "The French are at Vitebsk." "In four days they may reach Smolensk." "Or they may be already there." "Prince, what do you think of the situation?" "I?" "The field of operations may move so near to us that..." "I have said and I still say the field of operations is Poland, and that the enemy will never get beyond the Niemen river." "When the snow melts, they'll drown in the Polish marshes." "But, Prince, the letter says that they're at Vitebsk now." "Ah, the letter..." "He says the French were defeated." "Near what river did he say?" "The Prince never mentioned that." "Mikhail Ivanovich, how do you want those plans altered?" "Go ahead!" "Take everything!" "I'll set the place on fire myself!" "Those devils won't get it!" "Nowhere did he seem to be comfortable." "But worst of all was his customary place on the couch in the study." "This couch had become a dread, because of the oppressive thoughts that kept turning over in his mind when he lay there." "No, no, not like that!" "There's no peace anywhere!" "Blast it all!" "Yes, there was something important I was saving to think about in bed." "The bolts?" "No, it was something, something in the drawing-room." "Tishka!" "What did we speak about at dinner?" "About Prince Mikhail." "Will you keep quiet?" "I know, about Prince Andrei's letter." "The French are at Vitebsk." "In four days they may reach Smolensk." "Perhaps they're there by now." "Tishka!" "No, nothing." "I don't need anything." "Soul's in pain..." "The Princess is afraid." "The soul's in pain." "The soul's in pain." "All my thoughts... were about you." "I kept calling you all night." "If I had only known!" "I was afraid to come in." " You weren't sleeping?" " No, I wasn't sleeping." "Why didn't you come, my dear?" "Thank you for all you've done, my child, my dear..." "Forgive me, and thank you." "Forgive me, and thank you." "Will you please call Andriusha?" "I have a letter from him." "Where is he?" "He's with the army, father." "At Smolensk." "Yes, Russia has perished." "They've murdered Russia!" "I want to try and sing again." "It's something to do, anyway." "An excellent idea." "You know, Nikolai's been decorated." "Saint George's Cross." "I'm so proud for him." "I know." "I sent him the announcement." "Well, I don't want to interrupt you." "Don't you think it's wrong for me to sing?" "Not at all." "Why wrong?" "Quite the contrary." "But why do you ask?" "I don't want to do anything you might disapprove of." "I trust you in everything." "You mean a lot to me, you've been such a help." "The same announcement also said that Bolkonsky's in the army again." "Do you think he'll be able to forgive me one day?" "Or will he always hold it against me?" "What do you think?" "I think he has nothing to forgive." "In his place, I would..." "You're different." "There's no one who's kinder and more generous than you are." "I think if you hadn't been there then to help me, and now too," "I don't know what would have become of me." "Because..." "Oh, yes, I had forgotten." "I must go home." "Why are you going?" "Because..." "Simply I have business." "No!" "Why?" "Tell me..." "Have you heard the great news?" "Kutuzov is field marshal!" "All differences have been settled." "I'm so glad, delighted!" "At last we have a real leader, a man!" " I've heard he's blind, Prince?" " Nonsense." "He sees well enough." "He's a very shrewd fellow." "I've known him for years." "He's coming!" "With such fine men, why should we keep retreating?" "Good morning, Prince." "How do you do, my dear boy?" "Come with me." "I've sent for you because I would like to keep you with me." "I thank Your Highness, but I'm afraid I'm no more good for staff work." "I'm used to my regiment." "I like my officers and they, I think, like me." "I'd be sorry to leave the regiment." "If I decline the honor of being in attendance to you, believe me..." "I regret it." "You would have been of use to me, but you're right." "It's not here that we want men." "The regiments wouldn't be what they are, if all the would-be counselors would serve in them like you." "I remember you at Austerlitz." "I remember you, I remember you with the flag." "Ah, counselors and counselors!" "There're always a multitude of counselors, but men are scarce." "Always in haste, and more haste, worse speed." "It's easy enough to take fortresses, but it's hard to win a campaign." "It takes time and patience." "At Rustchuk, Kamensky used his soldiers, and I, patience and time." "And I took more fortresses than Kamensky." "And I made the Turks eat horsemeat." "Give me some time, and the French shall, too!" "Take my word for it, I'll make them eat horsemeat!" "We shall have to give battle, though, shan't we?" "We must, if everyone wants to." "What's one to do?" "Well, goodbye, my boy, go your own way, God bless you!" "I know your path is the path of honor." "Remember, with all my heart, I feel for your sorrow, and that for you, I'm not his highness, nor prince, nor commander," "but simply a father to you." "As the girls went to the river, As the girls went to the river," "Bumblebee, bumblebee, wonder-wonder-wonder me," "That was Lusha, my honeybee!" "Bumblebee, bumblebee, wonder-wonder-wonder me," "That was Lusha, my honeybee!" "They a-stripped of their shirts, They a-stripped of their shirts..." "Well, fellow countryman, are we to put down here, or taken out to Moscow?" "It's not soldiers only, but peasants too, I have seen today!" "Peasants, too, they're hunting up, they can't pick and choose now." "They want to mass all the people together." "It's a matter of Moscow, you see." "There's only one thing to do now." "Count, Your Excellency, how do you come here?" "Oh, I wanted to have a look..." " There'll be something to look at." " It's awful..." "These are from yesterday." "The battle went on well into the night at the Shevardino redoubt." "A lot of casualties." "And we've lost the Shevardino Mound." "I would like to join." "I want to participate in the battle." "One thing I wanted to ask you." "Where is the position exactly?" "That is not in my line." "Drive on to Tatarinovo, there's a great deal of digging going there." "Come out on a mound, from there you get a view." "A view from it?" "If you would..." "I would have shown you the way, but..." "I'm racing to the commander." "There's to be a battle tomorrow, and with a hundred thousand troops, we must reckon on 20 thousand wounded at least." "And we haven't the stretchers, nor beds, nor doctors for 6,000." "There're 10 thousand carts, but we need other things as well." " Look at that get-up!" " What's it for?" "To scare the French away?" "He looks like a doctor." "Pierre's consciousness of the necessity of sacrifice, of suffering at the understanding of the misfortune shared by all, were drawing him inexorably to the site of the imminent fighting." "Allow me to ask, what village is that before us?" " Burdino, isn't it called?" " Borodino." "Are these our men there?" "Yes." "And further on are the French." "There, you can see them." " Where?" " One can see them with the naked eye." " And out there?" " Those are our men." "Ah, ours!" "I see." "And there?" "That's him again." "Yesterday it was ours, but now it's his." "Who are you?" "A doctor?" "No, I'm just looking..." "They're bringing it." "They're bringing the Holy Mother, our protectress!" " The Holy Mother of Iversky!" " The Holy Mother of Smolensk!" "O Mother of God, save Thy servants." "O Mother of God, save Thy servants." "Glory be to Father, and to Son, and to Holy Ghost," "now and ever and unto ages of ages." "O Mother of God, save Thy servants from calamity, for to Thee we all fly" "as our invincible Bulwark and Protectress," "Look with favor, O merciful Mother of God, upon my shameful thought and words and deeds and assuage the pangs of me the sufferer." "For we have no other helper, for we have no other hope" "but only Thee, our protectress." "Help us, having compassion on us." "In Thee we rest our hopes, and Thee we glorify." "For we are Thy servants, and we are not ashamed of Thee." "He knew that the morrow's battle would be the most dreadful of all those he had taken part in, and the plain possibility of death presented itself to him vividly, almost like an awesome certainty." "The fatherland..." "The loss of Moscow." "And tomorrow I'll be killed." "What is the trial for, since I never will be?" "I am not!" "So for whom is it a trial?" "New conditions of life will arise about which I will know nothing." "I'll no longer exist." "I won't exist anymore." "I won't exist anymore." "Your Highness, the left flank of the second battalion has been brought in closer to the village of Semyonovskaya." "Sentries have been posted in each squadron." "Who's there?" "What brings you here?" "This is really unexpected!" "I have come, you know... simply..." "It's interesting." "I wanted to see the battle." "What's new in Moscow?" "My family?" "Have they finally arrived there?" "Yes, they have." "Julie Drubetskaya told me they had." "I went to see them, but I missed them." "They've gone to the estate." "Today I rode around the disposition of the troops." "As a civilian I can't really say I fully understand, but I think I've understood the general position." "I believe that our position..." "I think that the left flank is feeble, while the right flank is extended too far." "So the whole position of our troops is clear to you?" "Yes, but how do mean?" "Victory does not depend, and will never depend on arms, nor even on numbers, and least of all, on strategy." "On what does it depend?" "It all depends on a feeling that's within me, within every soldier." "Why were we defeated at Austerlitz?" "Positions?" "Absurd." "There's no such thing." "We just wanted to leave the battlefield quickly." "And so tomorrow what will happen?" "To me, it's simple enough:" "A hundred thousand Russian and a hundred thousand French troops will meet to fight." "The fact is that those 200,000 are going to fight." "Those who fight the hardest and spare themselves the least will win." "Tomorrow, whatever may happen, we shall win the battle!" "Your Excellency, that's the plain truth!" "Who would spare himself now?" "The soldiers in my battalion wouldn't drink their vodka!" ""It's no day for that" is what they said." "Carried into a wide extent of country." "In that open country I have a father and son and sister at Bald Hills." "They've given all Europe up to him, and now they've come to teach us." "Fine teachers!" "So you think the battle tomorrow will be a victory?" "Yes." "There's one thing I would do, if I were in power." "I wouldn't take prisoners." "The French have destroyed my home and are coming to destroy Moscow." "They have outraged and are outraging me every second." "They are my enemies." "They are all criminals." "And so think all the army." "They must be put to death." "They plunder, they kill my father, and talk of generosity to a foe." "No prisoners, but go to give and to meet death!" "War is not a polite recreation, but the vilest thing in life." "And we ought to understand that and not play at war." "We ought to accept it solemnly as a fearful necessity." "Enough lying:" "If it's war, then it's war and not a game." "They meet together to murder one another, as we shall do tomorrow;" "they slaughter and mutilate tens of thousands of men, and then offer up thanksgiving services for the number of men they have killed, and even add to it in the telling, and glorify the victory, supposing that the more men killed the greater the achievement." "One who succeeds in killing most people, gets the greatest rewards." "How God can look down from above and hear them?" "Ah, my dear boy..." "Life has been a bitter thing for me of late." "Well, it's not for long." "But you're getting sleepy and it's time I was in bed too." "Go." "You must be off." "Before a battle one needs to get a good sleep." "Goodbye, be off." "Whether we see each other again or not..." "I know this is our last meeting." "Go, my dear fellow, and Christ be with you." "Battalion, forward march!" "Come on, a cannon ball!" "Permit me to ask you to move out of the way, sir." "Aren't you afraid?" "You surprise me, sir." " And you?" "Are you afraid?" " Why, to be sure!" "They can blow your insides right out." "You can't help being scared!" "It's a soldier's business, but it's surprising to see a gentleman here." "Man your guns!" "Forward march!" "To attack, forward march!" "Charge!" "Fire!" "Bravo!" "Ready?" "Fire!" "Battalion, in ranks forward march!" " What about the Russians?" " They stand firm, Sire." "They want even more of it." "Let them have it then!" "A hot one!" "Not this way!" "Drop on the infantry." "What, bowing to a friend?" "Further right." "Again, fire!" "Guns number four and five, grapeshot fire on the infantry!" "Look, that one almost blasted our gentleman's hat off." "Hey, awkward hussy!" "Now, you foxes there!" "Don't you care for our porridge?" "May I venture to suggest breakfast to Your Majesty?" "I hope that I can already congratulate Your Majesty on a victory." "Gun number ten!" "Go ahead!" "With your permission, sir, it's my duty to report that there're but eight rounds left." "Must we keep on firing, sir?" "Grapeshot!" "Your Highness, we've recaptured the advance posts." "Prince Bagration is wounded." "Hurry on to Prince Pyotr Ivanovich, and find out exactly what happened." "Your Highness..." "Prince Andrei's regiment was being held in reserve." "Without moving from the spot and without firing a single shot, the regiment had already lost a third of its men." " Tell the men they may sit down." " Yes, sir." "First battalion, rest!" "Second battalion, rest!" "Left, left, left..." "There's no more ammunition, sir." "Run to the reserves, bring the ammunition boxes!" "I'll go." "M. I'aide-de-camp, tell the men not to crowd together." "Look out!" "Colonel!" "Lie down!" "Can this be death?" "I can't die, I don't want to die." "I love life!" "I love this grass, this earth, this air." "Fellows!" "Fellows!" "Stand fast!" "Forward march!" "Fan out!" "Battery, fire!" "Every point in our position is in the enemy's hands, and we haven't the troops to drive them back." "The men are fleeing and it's impossible to stop them." "I did not consider I had the right to conceal from you what I saw." "Our troops are in complete disorder." "How dare you..." "How dare you, sir, tell me that?" "You know nothing about it." "The enemy's been repulsed on the left and defeated on the right flank." "If you have seen amiss, sir, then don't talk of things about which you know nothing." "Will you be so kind as to go to General Barclay now and inform him of my intention to attack the French tomorrow." "The enemy is defeated!" "Tomorrow we will drive him out of the holy land of Russia!" "Rayevsky!" "Here he is, my hero!" "Your Highness, our men are holding their ground firmly." "The French are not venturing a further attack." "Kaissarov!" "Sit down and write tomorrow's order of the day." "And you, ride down the line and announce that tomorrow we attack." "But all that evening, and next day, reports came in, one after another, of staggering losses, of the loss of half the army." "And another battle proved physically impossible." "...Sleep, my baby, my Andrei..." "Lullaby, lullaby," "Sleep, my baby, do not cry." "Little birdie, don't meddle," "Stop a-rocking our cradle." "Lullaby, lullaby..." "My God!" "What is this?" "What is he doing here?" "Dark and somber drowsiness" "Visits every home and nest." "Lullaby, lullaby," "Sleep, my baby, do not cry." "On the couch, on the bed" "Golden slumber in each head." "Lullaby, lullaby..." "And not only for that hour and day were the mind and conscience darkened in that man, on whom the burden of all that had happened lay more heavily than on others." "Never, down to the end of his life, had he the least comprehension of good, of beauty," "of truth, of the significance of his own acts, which were too far opposed to truth and goodness, too remote from everything human for him to be able to grasp their significance." "He could not disavow his own acts, that were lauded by half the world, and so he was forced to disavow truth and goodness and everything human." "Enough, enough, men!" "Stop!" "Consider!" "What are you doing?" "To the men on both sides, exhausted for want of food and rest, the doubt began to come whether they should still persist in slaughtering one another." "Slay whom you will, do whatever you will, but I have had enough." "And yet, some unfathomable and mysterious force led these men on and kept up the fearful work, which was done independently of their wills." "A moral victory, that which compels the enemy to recognize the moral superiority of his opponent, and his own impotence, was won by the Russians at Borodino." "The direct consequence of the battle of Borodino was Napoleon's causeless flight from Moscow," "the ruin of the invading army of five hundred thousand men, and the downfall of the Napoleonic rule, on which, for the first time at Borodino, was laid the hand of a foe of stronger spirit!"

"Is it better to risk the loss of the army and of Moscow by giving battle, or to abandon Moscow without a battle?" "This is the question on which I want your opinion." "I do not consider that the game is lost." "The only way in which we may still save our holy city is to launch an attack upon the adversary." "Can it be that I'm the one who let Napoleon get so close to Moscow?" "And when did I do that?" "When was this frightful business decided?" "He was horrified at the thought of the order he had to issue." "Well, gentlemen..." "I take it that it's up to me to pay the piper." "Gentlemen, I have heard your opinions." "Some of you will not agree with me, but I..." "I, by the authority entrusted in me by my Czar and my country, give the order to retreat." "This I did not expect!" "This I never thought of!" "You should get some rest, Your Highness." "Oh no!" "I shall make them eat horsemeat, just like the Turks!" "They will, too!" "If only..." "During the night of September 1," "Kutuzov's order to retreat through Moscow by the Ryazan road was issued to the troops." "Do you know, ma chere, I wanted to tell you..." "My dear Countess, an officer came to me to ask for carts to carry the wounded." "Unload the carts!" "Use them for the wounded men!" "Give all the carts to the wounded." "Take all our trunks and store them." "Should I dismiss the cabman?" "Yes, Guerasim." "Could you do exactly as I tell you?" " You wish something to eat?" " No." "Now I need other things." "Could you get some peasant's clothes and a pistol for me?" " Whose carriage is that?" " The wounded Prince is in it." "Who is he?" "Our betrothed that was, Prince Bolkonsky." "They say he's dying." "Well, God be with us." "Look, it's him!" "I swear it's Bezukhov!" "Pyotr Kirillovich, come here!" "We recognized you!" "What are you doing?" "Why are you dressed like that?" " What's wrong, Count?" " What?" "Don't ask me." " Are you staying in Moscow?" " Yes, I'm staying." "Goodbye." "If I were a man, I'd stay here with you." "Mama, let me stay in the city, please!" " We heard you were at the battle?" " Yes." "There'll be another battle tomorrow." " But what is the matter, Count?" " Don't ask me..." "I don't know myself." "These are frightful times." "Goodbye and good luck." "He suddenly felt that everything was at an end, in a state of chaos, and crumbling to pieces, that there would be no future," "and that the present situation offered no escape." "There she is, that holy capital!" "There she is, lying at my feet, awaiting her fate." "A strange, beautiful, majestic city." "But why is the deputation from the city so long in coming?" "To arms!" "Board them!" "Do you see it?" "Run them down!" "My goodness, here they are!" "Four of them, horsemen!" "Master not here." "No understand... me you." "No understand..." "Run them down!" " You are not wounded?" " I think not." "Brigand, you shall pay for it!" "Please, forgive this drunken imbecile." "You have saved my life." "You are French?" "I'm Captain Ramball." " I'm Russian." " Tell that to others." "What are we to do with this man?" "All right, I grant you his pardon." "What is your name?" "M. Pierre, you say?" "That's all I want to know." "I owe you a fine votive candle." "I have bullets enough in my body." "Here is one from Wagram, and two from Smolensk." "And the leg - at the great battle of Moscow." "It was fine!" "You cut us out a tough job." "I was there." "Really?" "So much the better." "You are courageous enemies." "Fine fellows!" "So you're a soldier, like ourselves!" "So much the better, M. Pierre." "Is it true that all the women have left Moscow?" "What had they to fear?" "Wouldn't French ladies quit Paris if the Russians came?" " That's a good one." "But Paris..." " Paris is the capital of the world." "Paris - it is Talma, la Duschenois," "Potier, the Sorbonne, the boulevards." "To return to your ladies, what a chance they have lost." "We have taken Vienna, Berlin, Rome," "Naples, Madrid, Warsaw." "We are feared, but we are loved." "And then the Emperor..." "What of the Emperor?" "He's the greatest man of the centuries, past and to come." "Is he in Moscow?" "No, he will make his entry tomorrow." "We are sad, aren't we?" "Morel!" "Warm us another bottle!" " It's not in Mytischi, but further." " Right, it looks like Moscow." "Mytischi's over there, and this is on the other side." "I say it is flaring." "That is Moscow burning, either in Suschevsky or in Dubrovsky." "It's awful!" "I think all Moscow's burning." "What a dreadful glow!" "Natasha, look!" "You can see it from the window." "Look how it's burning." "What's burning?" "Ah, yes, Moscow..." " You didn't even look." " Yes, I did." "I saw." "Ever since Natasha had been told that Prince Andrei had journeyed with them, that she couldn't see him because he had a serious wound, though his life was not in danger, she had disbelieved everything she'd been told," "but being convinced that she would always be told the same thing, she no longer asked questions." "You're trembling!" "You had better lie down." "Yes, I will lie down." " Come lie down in my bed." " No, I'll lie down on the floor." "Mama!" "You?" "What a blessing!" " Forgive me." " I love you." " Please, forgive me." " Forgive you what?" "Forgive me for everything I did." "I love you more..." "better than before." "He had to stay in Moscow, concealing his identity, and to kill Napoleon, so as either to perish or to put an end to the misery of all Europe." "She's burned to death!" "Oh, help me, good people, good Christians!" "I left my poor daughter there!" "She's burned to death!" "The fire started up next door, then it spread to our home." "We ran out as we were, taking only icons and my bed." "And we saved the children, but we couldn't find Katenka!" "Where did you last see her?" "My good sir, my benefactor!" "Set my heart at rest, please!" "Anniska, you horrid girl!" "Show him the way!" "Show me the way." "I'll see what I can do..." "She has burned to death..." "This way, sir." "We'll have to go by the alley." "Which is your house?" "Right here!" "That's where our place was." "She's burned to death!" "My little treasure!" "My darling little mistress!" "Haven't you seen a child in that house?" "I did hear something crying in the garden." "Perhaps it's the fellow's brat." "Ah, a little girl." "So much the better." "Must be humane." "We're all mortal, you know." "Have you lost someone, my good man?" "You're of the gentry, aren't you?" "Whose child is it?" "A woman was sitting here with her children." "Where has she gone?" "It must be the Anferovs' child." "The Anferovs left early today." "It's Maria Nikolayevna's." "He says a woman, and Maria Nikolayevna's a lady." "It's Maria Nikolayevna's all right." "They left for the garden." "Here, take the child." "Give her to her parents." "Let that woman alone!" "Arrest him!" "Lieutenant, he has a dagger!" "He looks very like an arsonist." "Sir!" "What about the little girl?" "Who will I give her to, if I can't find her mother?" "What does she want?" "She's carrying my daughter, whom I have just saved from the flames!" "Goodbye!" "Most high and gracious Emperor and Czar..." "Calm and luxurious, troubled only about phantoms and reflections of real life, the life in St. Petersburg went right on as always." "Great efforts were required to realize the difficult situation of the Russian people and the danger besetting them." "This time, at a soiree at Scherer's, they were reading the letter sent by the Metropolitan to the Czar along with an icon of Saint Sergey." "Let the insolent and arrogant Goliath from the borders of France bring to Russia the horrors of death." "Humble faith, the sling of the Russian David..." "The other big news was the sudden death of Helen Bezukhov." "My failing strength hinders me from the joy of your most gracious presence." "Who are you?" "I know this man." "You cannot know me, General." "I have never met you." "It is a Russian spy." "No, Your Highness!" "You could not know me." "I have never left Moscow." " Your name?" " Bezukhov." "Who can prove that you are not lying?" "How will you prove to me the truth of what you say?" "M. Ramball, Captain of the 13th Light Brigade, knows me." " You are not what you say." " Your Highness!" "Take him away." "What shall we do with him, Your Highness?" "In the name of the Emperor and King," "on this day, September 8 of the year 1812... the military judicial commission sentences the accused to death by shooting." "Who is executing me, depriving me of life?" "Me, with all my memories, my aspirations, my hopes, my thoughts?" "Who is doing this?" "They are all suffering as I am." "So who is doing this?" "No one." "The established order." "The interplay of circumstances." "Not the fat one with the glasses." "No!" "I don't want to!" "And have you seen a lot of trouble, sir?" "You mustn't worry, though." "Suffer an hour, live for an age." "That's the way it goes, my dear." " Who are you?" "A soldier?" " Yes, from the Apsheron regiment." "I was dying of fever." "Twenty of us were sick." "No one expected this." "Here she is, the hussy." "She remembers me!" "Here, you taste this, sir." "At dinner we had soup." "But the potatoes are first rate!" "No, no, not that way." "Here, let me show you." "You taste them like that." "First-rate potatoes!" "Why did they kill those poor men?" "That last boy was barely twenty." "Sins, sins..." "Where there's law, injustice will follow." "Have you been here long?" "It was Sunday they took me out of the hospital in Moscow." "My name's Platon, surname's Karatayev." "In the regiment they called me "the little hawk"." "Aren't you miserable here?" "Miserable, to be sure." "Moscow, she's the mother of cities." "One must be miserable to see it." "Well, though it's the worm that gnaws the cabbage, it's first to die." "What was that you said?" "I say it's not by our wit, but as God thinks fit." "Oh, I think you must be getting sleepy, eh?" "Why, the little hussy, you're warm, child of the bitch!" "Lord, lay me down like a stone and raise me up like new bread." "Prince Andrei not only knew that he was going to die, but he felt that he was dying, that he was already half dead." "It was the last moral struggle between life and death, in which death gained the victory." "Without anguish, he was awaiting what was yet to come, that grim, eternal, unknown and remote something." "You're not asleep?" "No." "I have been looking at you a long while." "Natasha..." "I love you far too much." "More than anything else in the world." "And I?" "Why too much?" "Why too much?" "Tell me, what do you feel, deep in your heart?" "Within your soul?" " Am I going to live?" " Yes, I'm sure!" "It would have been so good." "You haven't slept at all." "Please, try to get some rest." "Yes, that was death." "I died." "I woke up." "Yes, death is awakening." "Maria?" "How did you get here?" "And you brought Nikolushka?" "Are you crying for Nikolushka?" "You mustn't cry here." "I'd be cursed by posterity if I were regarded as the first instigator of any sort of settlement." "The people of my country feel that way." "He was making peace overtures, but either he received negative answers, or received no answer at all." "With every fiber of his being, Kutuzov sensed that the staggering blow dealt the enemy at Borodino, into which he and the entire Russian people had put their whole strength, must have been a mortal blow." "But still proofs were needed." "From Alexei Petrovich Dokhturov." "Come closer." "What news have you brought me?" "Napoleon has left Moscow, has he?" "Is it truly so?" "Napoleon has left Moscow, Your Highness." "His advance troops are already in Fominskoye." "Lord, my Creator!" "Thou hast heard our prayer!" "Russia is saved." "There you are." "Where's Platon?" "They began to look." "Where's that little old man who has been suffering in vain?" "But God had already forgiven him." "He was dead." "That is life!" "That is how it is with Karatayev;" "he is absorbed and has disappeared." "How simple it is and how clear." "How was it I didn't know it before?" "Life is everything." "That soldier wouldn't let me pass." "They have taken me, shut me up." "They keep me prisoner." "Who, me?" "Me!" "Me!" "My immortal soul!" "And all that is mine!" "It's all within me!" "I am all that!" "From the general." "I'm sorry." "It isn't quite dry yet." "But who is this?" "A prisoner?" "May I speak to him?" "Rostov!" "Petya!" "Why didn't you say who you were?" "Is it all right if I stay a day or so?" "I was told to find out things." "That way I will find out." "But let me go into the thick of things." " I want to go..." "...to the thick of things." "Won't you put me in command for once?" "Why, what would it be to you?" " You want a knife?" " Mighty good knife." "Keep it." "I have many like it." "Oh, I almost forgot..." "I have some capital raisins with me, seedless raisins." "I bought ten pounds." "I'm used to sweet things." "Gentlemen, help yourselves." "Don't you need a coffee pot?" "I got one from our canteen-keeper." "He has nice things for sale." "And he's very honest." "I'll surely send it to you." "Might I call that boy who was taken prisoner?" "Perhaps we'll give him something to eat?" "Yes, I really pity the lad." "Fetch him!" " I'll call him." " Vincent's his name." "Ah, how jolly it is!" "How splendid!" "A Rostov!" "Blood will always tell." "Well, Karabakh, we'll see some action tomorrow." "Why are you still up, sir?" "Ah, Likhachev, isn't that your name?" "The night before a big battle, I don't sleep." "You wouldn't need any flint for your pistol, would you?" "No, thank you." "I brought along some flints." "Don't you want any?" "Some people don't look ahead and then they're sorry." "I don't like it." "Yes, you're right." "Would you please sharpen my saber?" "It's dull." " Would you do that?" " Of course, why not?" " The men are all asleep?" " Some are." "Some aren't, like us." "And the French boy, Vincent?" "Vincenny?" "Oh, he's curled up in the entrance." "Oh yes, I must be dreaming." "It's only in my ears." "All ready, your Lordship." "You'll be able to cut a Frenchman in two with it." "One thing I beg of you, to obey me and not to put yourself forward." "The signal!" "Go around!" "Wait for the infantry!" "Wait?" "Hurrah!" " Done for!" " Killed!" "Petya!" "My son!" "No, it's not true!" "Natasha!" "It's not true!" "Leave me alone, all of you!" "It's not true!" "They killed him..." " Mama, darling..." " No, it can't be true." "Mama, darling, please..." "No, no, no, it's not true..." "Natasha, you love me?" "I want you to tell me the truth." "Mama darling!" "Napoleon had left his army and was returning to Paris, under a borrowed name of Prince Vitzenski." "Soldiers, I will keep all my promises." "I want you to see your Emperor surrounded by the grandeur and splendor that befit the sovereign of the first nation in the world." "Soldiers, thanks to you, those who had the insolent pretension of shattering my crown, are now beaten and annihilated, exemplifying the truth of my motto:" ""God gave it to me, woe to whomever touches it!"" "It's no longer our frontiers which must be defended, but the enemy states which must be invaded." "Soldiers, by promising peace to the French people," "I was your voice." "You conquered the Rhine, Holland and Italy and dictated peace beneath the walls of an astonished Vienna." "Soldiers, you wish to return to France only by the path of honor." "And we will return to our fatherland through arches of triumph!" "Soldiers, here is the battle for which you've yearned." "Henceforth victory depends on you." "It will give you abundance and a prompt return to your fatherland." "Behave as you did at Austerlitz," "Friedland, Vitebsk, Smolensk, and may your descendants say with pride of each of you:" ""He was in that great battle beneath the walls of Moscow!"" "Happy the people who, in the moment of trial, asks no questions how others would act by the rules in such cases, but with ease picks up the first cudgel that comes handy and deals blows with it till, in its heart," "resentment and revenge give way to a felling of compassion." "He says he's Captain Ramball's orderly." " We ought to make him warm." " Take the officer to the house." "Oh, my kind friends!" "These are good men!" "My kind friends." "Come on, drink up." "Teach it me." "I'll catch it in no time." "They're human too." "Even the weeds have their roots." "Oh, God!" "I never saw so many stars!" "That means a good harvest this year." "Bow its head." "Lower!" "There we are." "Hurrah, my friends!" "I want to thank all of you for your hard and loyal service." "Our victory is complete." "Russia will remember you." "Your glory shall live for all time." "And now, brothers, I know it's hard for you." "But there's no help for it!" "Be patient, it won't last much longer." "We will see our visitors off, and then we will rest." "It's hard for you, but still you are at home, while they..." "You see what they have come to?" "Worse than the lowest beggars." "While they were strong, we did not spare ourselves, but now we can even spare them." "They too are men." "Right, fellows?" "But after all is said and done, who asked them to come here?" "It serves them right." "To have their mugs in shit!" "It was only now that Pierre understood, not with his intellect, but with his entire being, with his life, that man was created for happiness." "He looked joyfully about him at life, eternally changing, majestic, incomprehensible and infinite." "Well, so this is how we meet." "Until the very last moment, he often spoke of you." "When I heard you were safe, it made me so glad." "It was the best piece of news that we had received in a long time." "Imagine, I'd never had any news of him." "So I thought he'd been killed." "What I did hear was generally hearsay, through strangers." "All I knew was he'd landed by a miracle at the Rostovs." "Strange thing, Fate!" "Don't you recognize her?" "If I were somebody else, good-Iooking, intelligent and the best of men, and if I were free," "I would be right now at your feet asking for your hand and for your love." "And hurrah for the whole world!" "And I say, let us all take one another's hand, all of us who believe in goodness, and let there be but one banner, that of active good will." "I only mean that thoughts that have important consequences are always simple." "All my thinking could be summed up with these words:" "Since corrupt people unite among themselves to constitute a force, honest people must do the same." "It is as simple as that." "The End"
