| Introduction | I'm reading War and Peace now, and Nikolai Bolkonsky is my favorite character, an old quirky aristocrat, that spends his days busy with physical and intellectual work. He inspires me; I'm not that quirky, and even less organized, -I wish I was more organized, though probably not to the level of the count-, but I relate to his way of finding pleasure in being busy with productive work. Since I'm talking about characters, here goes a list, very personal, of some of my favorites: Marmeladov (Crime and Punishment, the drunk in the first chapter(s)?), Bishop Myriel (book one of Les Misérables), Cándido, Odysseus. |
