ANNA KARENINA

En 1855, Léon Tolstoï participa à la défense de Sébastopol, dont la chute mit fin à la guerre de Crimée. Quinze ans plus tard, il écrira la vaste fresque de «Guerre et Paix». Ces «Récits de Sébastopol» en sont la préfiguration. On y trouve déjà la tonalité et le rythme du grand roman à venir. On y discerne aussi le même mélange de scènes guerrières et de tableaux intimes.
