War and Peace and Blog
Are you interested in what a bunch of high school seniors have to say about War and Peace? Well, on the off chance that you are, my English class has a blog that we’re using to document our journey through Tolstoy’s epic. I haven’t actually posted anything yet, seeing as I’ve only finished Volume I (out of four, which is roughly 300 of 1200 pages). But the book actually is as good as advertised and, not too surprisingly, it has a lot to say about the political and cultural moment in which we find ourselves. So, feel free to comment or just lurk, or even better, read the book. If you go 20 pages a day, you can finish it in just about. But even more importantly, you get to be able to say you’ve actually read War and Peace.
UPDATE: After alerting y’all to the blog, I was inspired to produce some content. Here’s my first post, it looks at the tensions between Tolstoy’s admiration for Lincoln and his view of history as expressed in War and Peace.
