War and Peace Volume 1 Book 3 Chapter 18

from The Tolstoy Library · host Leo Tolstoy

In which the young Rostóv, amid the chaos and desolation of the battlefield, searches in vain for the Emperor and illustrious commanders, confronting the sobering realities of war’s disorder and human fragility. He encounters the sovereign alone and pallid, yet hesitates to approach, while around them the shattered remnants of battle-clogged forces retreat across a narrow dam under relentless enemy fire and imminent peril.
