- bmunro 15y agoWas War and Peace a side project or the main project? If it wasn't done as a side project then it isn't really relevant.
- the_decider 15y agoWar and Peace was the side project. Tolstoy's main project consisted of managing the land and peasents on his country estate.
- gruseom 15y agoTolstoy was one of the richest men in 19th century Russia. His situation isn't the least bit comparable to a middle class nuclear family of our time, where parents actually do the work of raising children and hold down jobs as well.
