In Which We Discuss War and Peace, Part 10, Chapter 21

Chapter 21


Pierre climbs up a hill to see the entire battlefield, but is disappointed because it looks nothing like the battlefields in his head.  It's just full of fields, meadows, troops, woods, campfires, villages, and so on - no identifiable military positions or anything.



He thinks he must be looking at the wrong thing, so he asks an officer to point things out.  It does not help.


He watches as an icon is brought and an impromptu religious service begins.  Kutuzov arrives halfway through.
