Savaş ve Barış 4. Cilt

When is a book finished? When the last page is finished?

You will see that War and Peace does not end, it continues to live with you. Anything Nikolay said one day or another will suddenly come to life in your mind. Natasha's flowing lace dresses and endless joy will be reflected in your laughter. You will realize that you are looking at an oak tree through Andrey's eyes. A piece of biscuit crumb will remind you of Petya. You will compare every beautiful woman you see with Elen, and the splinters of life that sting you will make you love Pierre more. You will know that there are not only cannons and cannonballs on the battlefield, but also horses and stray dogs, and perhaps, like Platon Karatayev, you will think that loving a living being is right there.

When is a book finished? When you put it on the shelf?

When you re-read War and Peace , you will have new heroes and notice brand new details. A page you open randomly will make you smile and maybe you won't be as angry with the Old Prince as you used to be. Those 2048 pages, which frightened you before you even started reading, will now seem too few for you. You will see that you start telling the novel to everyone around you, and maybe you will not be satisfied with that and give it as a gift. You will eventually become convinced that War and Peace is a living organism; It changes with every look you take, with every age... You will miss it until you read it again.

Some books are never finished. Don't let it end anyway.
