[woundedwizard]

He closed his eyes, and immediately a sound of cannonading, of musketry and the rattling of carriage wheels seemed to fill his ears, and now again drawn out in a thin line the musketeers were descending the hill, the French were firing, and he felt his heart palpitating as he rode forward beside Schmidt with the bullets merrily whistling all around, and he experienced tenfold the joy of living, as he had not done since childhood.

He woke up...

“Yes, that all happened!” he said, and, smiling happily to himself like a child, he fell into a deep, youthful slumber.

Fascinating reaction to having war memories

[simplicius-simplicissimus]

Pierre was right when he said that one must believe in the possibility of happiness in order to be happy, and I now believe in it. Let the dead bury the dead, but while I’m alive, I must live and be happy.

-Leo Tolstoy, Prince Andrew Bolkonski, War and Peace

[drjohannn]

Name: Andrei Nikolayevich Bolkonsky Weapon name: Austerlitz EGO: The same oak tree Details: Delusions of grandeur, Hatred of society Age: 32 Height: 185 cm Marital Status: widower Biography: Andrew was born into the family of Colour Fixer - Emerald Crone. From his early childhood, the boy, along with his sister Marya, was raised only by a strict but loving father, as his mother died shortly after his birth. He grew up to be a noble and respectable young man. He does not usually go out in public, as he dislikes people for their hypocrisy and emptiness, but for the sake of his pregnant wife Liza he comes to various meetings, at one of which he meets Pierre Bezukhov - he had not long ago moved away and, like Bolkonsky, was fascinated by the activities of one of high-ranking Fixer Napoleon. Deciding that he wanted a break from his tiresome family life, he applied for service in a subsidiary Office, opposing the one Napoleon was in. Seriously wounded, he is taken to an enemy hospital, but he still manages to return home. There he catches his wife's difficult labour, during which she dies before Andrei's eyes and he is left to bring up his son Nikolenka alone, with the help of his father and Marya. For several years he lives away from society and builds up a bond with Pierre, finally softening up and coming out in public. At one of the meetings he meets Natasha Rostova and falls in love with her, but asks for the sake of his father to wait for a decision on marriage for some time. The girl can not stand the wait and gets involved in an affair with Kuragin, for which Andrei breaks off the engagement and goes to the company Limbus. Character: Andrei is honest, decent, brave, responsible and noble man, but he is also not without a lot of minuses. Even among the team, he is known for his selfishness and arrogance, which are still downplayed if his colleagues really need help. Also, his connection with others is hindered by his tendency to introspect and his love of being alone - he often hovers in the clouds and tries to be away from various "gatherings". Nevertheless, some have still managed to find common ground with him and become great friends, for which he interacts with them much more gently in return. Facts: -His wife Lisa was the niece of Mikhail Kutuzov, the head of the subsidiary Office. -The oak tree that stands in the backyard of the Bolkonsky home is displayed on their family emblem. -He always carries a pocket watch with the family emblem and a picture of the family. -His father was a participant in the attempted attacks on one of the filial of the Lobotomy Corporation for valuable data, so he wants to find this place and try to save the remaining employees there. -Source: Leo Tolstoy - "War and Peace"

[storkmuffin]

How many times is Andrei Bolkonsky going to be reported as dead and turn out not to be? He's really not as lovable or important to me as Tolstoy seems to think he is, so I really wish he would either shit or get off the potty with this one, now that I've had to encounter a second in-canon misreporting of his death in war.

(War and Peace, Vol 3, Part 3, Ch. XIV, where there's a reveal that the VIP wounded person brought into the Rostov household is Prince Andrew Bolkonsky)

[sxnyarostova]

andrew bolkonsky is a white boy who goes shirtless at the beach and wears shells around his neck

andrei bolkonsky is a depressed fucker who listens to mcr

[intj-greenwords]

Rostóv had no idea that the village he was entering was the property of that very Bolkónski who had been engaged to his sister.

Andrew Bolkonski and Natasha Rostov met in the Rostov house where Andrew stayed one time, he visited her home often, and they became engaged; Natasha went to Andrew’s home to visit Andrew’s sister and father – AND YET Natasha's sister Nicholas did not know that Bogucharovo was Andrew’s property. I thought that in those days the assets of a prospective husband would have been pretty thoroughly checked out and discussed, moreso I would have thought given the Rostov financial fragility. Perhaps Nicholas missed this discussion because he was away with the army? But still, don't members of a family talk about these things?

Nicholas had never met Maria (not surprising) but can anyone tell me if he had actually ever met Andrew? He was often at the Rostov house but perhaps Andrew was away on those occasions? Were Andrew and Nicholas part of the Pávlovna salon set? Can anyone remind me? (I tried googling it but too many spoilers started popping up.)

[hwestil]

No, I can't believe I've just suffered Andrew Bolkonsky not loving his son and Marius Pontmercy not loving his father on the same day----

[sneakydraws]

Six likes is enough for me!!!!!!

So like. Au where Andrey and Anatole meet while in the army (pre Natasha episode) and have a little military affair. Andrey has nothing but contempt for Anatole but like... if there's one person out there repressed and thirsty enough to, despite his better judgement, fuck Anatole kuragin, it's Andrey. And Anatole makes himself VERY hard to ignore. (Anatole doesn't deserve much but he does deserve to get shoved around by a strong dude and find out he likes it 2k23)

I have a positive deluge of content for this ship and it's 90% Anatole being bratty, getting what he wants and learning no lesson whatsoever. Whore rights <3

[woundedwizard]

andrew is a piece of shit husband

lise, you deserve better

[simplicius-simplicissimus]

The whole world is divided for me into two parts: one is she, and there is all happiness, hope, light; the other is where she is not, and there is dejection and darkness.

War and Peace (1)

I completed Book 1 of Volume 1 of War and Peace (tr. Louise and Aylmer Maude). Considering this as an accomplishment even though I have 900 more pages to read. The size of this book was really intimidating in the beginning and I was going slower than my usual pace. I was finding it difficult to keep track of the characters. This is my first book from Russian literature and some people told me that I shouldn't have chosen this as my first read. Anyways, here I am completely invested in the plot and the characters, and I hope I will start going faster now. The speed doesn't really matter as long as I am enjoying the book. Here are a few things that I wanted to talk about because I am really liking this book.

Pierre. This guy is really something. Returned from abroad, not used to social gatherings, doesn't know what to do in life, and takes part in tying a bear down with a policeman and throwing them in a river. I found his character quite interesting and hilarious, though I am yet to find out more about him and this is just kind of a first impression.

Anna Mikhaylovna. She is one determined and head strong woman. I found her really irritating in some parts, especially when she was begging Prince Vasili for Boris' transfer, but I have to admit that she, in no way, would leave what's hers, and would definitely go to extreme lengths to get what she wants.

Natasha Rostova. Charming. She is the one who lights up the room with her charm and without her any party would be boring. She is young and full of life.

Andrew Bolkonsky and his wife, Lise. He grew out of love after marriage. Why bro? I understand that he doesn't like women who like to gossip and enjoy parties but didn't he know that Lise was a typical society woman? He shouldn't project his hatred of societal norms towards women. Except for this aspect of his, I find him quite charming.

Andrew and Pierre. I want what they have. I want someone to look at me like Andrew looks at Pierre.

About the backdrop, there is a big part talking about the Napoleonic wars. There are many historical figures mentioned. I try to look up and read about them sometimes but it can be tiring as the incidents of the wars are mentioned quite frequently. Younger men are more driven towards European culture and like the war strategies played by Bonaparte while the older generation don't like him at all. Though the younger men idolize Bonaparte, their sense of nationalism and respectability that comes with fighting a war drives them to join the military.

The major plot twist that I found so far was Pierre getting the major share of Count Bezukhov's fortune while Prince Vasili getting none. I laughed so hard when it was revealed.
