【英文原文】

Still Life, Moscow, Russia, 1986

"What's the use? What's going on in the world? War and Peace hero Count Pierre Bezukhov looked at Moscow society in 1811 and wrestled with his conscience. Like this character in his epic novel, Tolstoy questioned his own life; he eventually became a vegetarian and espoused religious views that drew fire from the Russian Orthodox Church and the government. He often visited the Kremlin, right, where he met and proposed to his wife, Sofia Andreyevna Behrs, a court doctor's daughter."

有什么用處？世界上發生了什么事？1881年，《戰爭與和平》的男主人公伯爵皮埃爾? 別祖霍夫看著莫斯科的上流社會，同自己的良知掙扎。正如他史詩般小說里的人物一樣，托爾斯泰對自己的生活提出了疑問；他最后成為素食者，并信奉從俄羅斯東正教會和政府中獲得光明的宗教觀點。他經常拜訪克里姆林宮，也正是在那里他遇見了宮廷醫師的女兒索菲亞?安德雷耶夫娜? 貝爾斯并向她求婚。
