Summary

In Book 5 of War and Peace, the looming threat of Napoleon’s invasion casts a shadow over Russia. Pierre Bezukhov, struggling with his newfound wealth and identity, becomes entangled in societal intrigues and a disastrous marriage to Helene Kuragin. Prince Andrei Bolkonsky, disillusioned with love after Natasha’s betrayal, seeks redemption through military service, rejoining the army as war approaches. The Rostov family faces financial strain and personal challenges, yet their spirit remains unbroken. Tolstoy contrasts grand historical events with intimate human struggles, exploring themes of fate, honor, and the search for meaning. As tensions escalate, characters grapple with their roles in an unfolding destiny.
