Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Novels and Other Works of Lyof N. Tolstoï, Vol. 4: War and Peace Toward the end of the year 1811 began a mobilization and concentration of forces in Western Europe; and in 1812, these forces - millions of men, counting those who were concerned in the transport and victualing of the armies - were moved from West to East toward the borders of Russia, where the Russian forces were drawn up just as they had been the year before. On the twenty-fourth of June, the forces of Western Europe crossed the Russian frontier, and war began: in other words, an event took place opposed to human reason and human nature. Millions of men committed against one another a countless number of crimes, deceptions, treacheries, robberies, forgeries, issues of false assignats, depredations, incendiary fires, murders, such as the annals of all the courts in all the world could not equal in the aggregate of centuries; and yet which, at that period, the perpetrators did not even regard as crimes. What brought about this extraordinary event? What were its causes? The historians, with naive credulity, say that the causes of this event are to be found in the affront offered to the Duke of Oldenburg, in the disregard of the "Continental System," in Napoleon´s ambition, Alexander´s firmness, the mistakes of diplomatists, and what not.
