Thank you for these fresh and vital takes on War and Peace which is a different and more enriching book with every read. Thank you, too, for another year of the brilliant Frugal Chariot.

What a delight to wake up to this essay this morning! I wish I’d known about the War and Peace study group this autumn - it passed me by. But thank you for sharing your thoughts about W&P and the environment. Tolstoy was an early environmentalist, and deserves to be read that way (as well as all the other ways in which we can look at his great work).

To add to your small list of political leaders who don’t treat power as a bilboquet: Jacinda Ardern, and the late great Nelson Mandela.
