"War and Peace" is one of the classics that China teenagers must read. The story centers on the Russian Great Patriotic War in 18 12, and reflects the major events from 1805 to 1820. By describing the thoughts and behaviors of Andre, Pierre and Natasha in the environment of war and peace, it shows the face of Russian society at that time.
The Hall of Silence and War and Peace From the perspective of the structure of the book, the Hall of Silence is not rigorous in its structural treatment, especially the second and third volumes, which are loosely dragged and inserted with many contents unrelated to the main plot, such as the stories of revolutionaries Bonchuk and Anna, while the protagonist Gregory was almost submerged until the fourth part. Therefore, from the perspective of artistic structure, Tolstoy is better.
Judging from the achievements of characterization, on the surface, the achievements of the two people are similar, and the main characters are distinct. But after careful understanding, I think sholokhov is better. The characters depicted in War and Peace have obvious traces of "affectation".
Any artistic image must infect the audience and make the image truly "live" and become a classic. This is why many works that have created immortal artistic images are finally preserved, because times can change and stories can be repeated, but the charm of unique "people" will not decay. People in different times can observe their lives through the interpretation of artistic images. The Silent Don is more deeply rooted in people's hearts than War and Peace. Perhaps it is in this sense that it shows its sincerity.
