Excerpt from Languages for War and Peace The man who speaks another language besides his own has another string to his bow. In war, if he knows the language of the enemy; he may be able to avoid capture, or, if taken prisoner, to make his escape far more easily; he can question prisoners and obtain from them valuable information, or glean such information from their notebooks and letters; he may even derive it from a military sign-post in the enemy's language. He can com municate directly with the allies whose language he knows, make things infinitely more comfortable for himself and his unit when billeted in an allied or enemy country, give and re ceive directions, speak the language of friendship, of command, of common everyday needs. Striking examples of the way in which linguistic training can be put to military uses appeared in the early days of the war, when German parachutists came down in Holland equipped not only with Dutch uniforms, but also with a command of the Dutch tongue, and German motor cyclists, disguised as French soldiers, swept across Belgium and northern France spreading disorder and panic in excel lent French.

Excerpt from Peace and War in Europe Fundamentally, therefore, the two questions that are pressing upon me, as upon all of you, are, What is our duty during the war? What is our duty in the making Of peace? In the simplest language, I may say that our duty during the war is to make war Victoriously; our duty in the making of peace, to make peace permanently. This, however, only provokes the further question, How can we make war victoriously? How can we make peace permanently? The first of these questions is essen tially one for the naval and military chiefs, and for the financial and diplomatic heads of the State. The second one is emphatically a question for the historian and the sociologist, and to deal with it demands that preliminary scientific study of the forces for war and peace which I have desired to take part in. The forces that work for war or for peace between nations seem to me to be capable of being classified under four different heads. Firstly, there are the biological forces which generated wars in early times, and which, to a certain extent, underlie war in the present day; and the somewhat cognate economic forges which are brilliantly but not adequately dis cussed by Mr. Norman Angell in The Great Illusion. Secondly, there are forces arising out of conflicts of religions, and out of the inculcation Of militarist and warlike ideals in the name Of religion.

“This lively appreciation of one of the most intimidating and massive novels ever written should persuade many hesitant readers to try scaling the heights of War and Peace sooner rather than later” (Publishers Weekly). Considered by many critics the greatest novel ever written, War and Peace is also one of the most feared. And at 1,500 pages, it’s no wonder why. Still, in July 2009 Newsweek put War and Peace at the top of its list of 100 great novels and a 2007 edition of the AARP Bulletin included the novel in their list of the top four books everybody should read by the age of fifty. A New York Times survey from 2009 identified Warand Peace as the world classic you’re most likely to find people reading on their subway commute to work. What might all those Newsweek devotees, senior citizens, and harried commuters see in a book about the Napoleonic Wars in the early 1800s? War and Peace is many things. It is a love story, a family saga, a war novel. But at its core it’s a novel about human beings attempting to create a meaningful life for themselves in a country torn apart by war, social change, political intrigue, and spiritual confusion. It is a mirror of our times. Give War and Peace a Chance takes readers on a journey through War and Peace that reframes their very understanding of what it means to live through troubled times and survive them. Touching on a broad range of topics, from courage to romance, parenting to death, Kaufman demonstrates how Tolstoy’s wisdom can help us live fuller, more meaningful lives. The ideal companion to War and Peace, this book “makes Tolstoy’s characters lively and palpable…and may well persuade readers to finally dive into one of the world’s most acclaimed—and daunting—novels” (Kirkus Reviews).

Many consider ‘Anna Karenina’ to be the greatest novel of all time. A profound and exhaustive exploration of Russian life and the human condition. Tolstoy creates one of the most complex heroines in literature as he details Anna falling a conscious victim to her own passion. The dramatic scope of the story, the memorable characters, and the wealth of emotions that Tolstoy displays render ‘Anna Karenina’ much more than a novel, but rather an unmissable chronicle of the human condition that transcends both space and time. A perfect delve into Russian literature for those who enjoyed Christy Lefteri’s ‘The Beekeeper of Aleppo’. Leo Tolstoy (1828-1910) was a Russian author. His focus was novels, but he also wrote many short stories, alongside essays and plays in his later life. Deemed the master of realistic fiction, his novel ‘Anna Karenina’ (1875-77) is considered to be the greatest novel of all time. Some of his other notable works include ‘War and Peace' (1865-69), ‘The Kingdom of God is Within You’ (1894), and his final novel ‘Resurrection’ (1899). His frank examinations of the world around him are unmissable for fans of Fyodor Dostoyevsky, Anton Chekhov, and Virginia Woolf, who was openly inspired by Tolstoy’s ideas about social class.
