BOOK ONE: Part 2, Chapter 1-5

So... Tolstoy took a little side trip here to talk about a character that is not even mentioned in the 'Character list' in the front of the book. I think that Tolstoy is maybe just trying to prove a point about Nationalism and what 'the army' and society can mean to people.. because these chapters have nothing to do (so far as I can see) with the plot so far (I mean besides the obvious part that they are about the Russian army in the Nepo war).

There was a really awesome quote in chapter 4 spoken by Denisov  "we sleep when we don't love. We are children of the dust...but when one falls in love and one is a G-d one is pua' as on the first day of creation..."

So Me= 0 Tolstoy=1
