Olenin was a youth who had never completed his university course, never served anywhere (having only a nominal post in some government office or other), who had squandered half his fortune and had reached the age of twenty-four without having done anything or even chosen a career. He was what in Moscow society is termed un jeune homme. But he did find a career -- he took a post as a Cadet in the army, and ended up assigned to Transcaucasia. This is the place -- here among the Tatars, the Chechens, and the Old Believers -- this is the place where Olenin will find love in the arms of a beautiful Cossack girl -- a young woman who is promised to a Cossack warrior.

War and Peace is a novel by Leo Tolstoy, first published from 1865 to 1869 in Russkii Vestnik, which tells the story of Russian society during the Napoleonic Era. It is usually described as one of Tolstoy's two major masterpieces (the other being Anna Karenina) as well as one of the world's greatest novels.War and Peace offered a new kind of fiction, with a great many characters caught up in a plot that covered nothing less than the grand subjects indicated by the title, combined with the equally large topics of youth, marriage, age, and death. Though it is often called a novel today, it broke so many conventions of the form that it was not considered a novel in its time. Indeed, Tolstoy himself considered Anna Karenina (1878) to be his first attempt at a novel in the European sense.

Anna Karenina tells of the doomed love affair between the sensuous and rebellious Anna and the dashing officer, Count Vronsky. Tragedy unfolds as Anna rejects her passionless marriage and must endure the hypocrisies of society. Set against a vast and richly textured canvas of nineteenth-century Russia, the novel's seven major characters create a dynamic imbalance, playing out the contrasts of city and country life and all the variations on love and family happiness.

Posdnyschew, Mörder seiner Frau, frühzeitig ergraut, mit blitzenden Augen und nervösem Gebaren, hört auf einer längeren Zugfahrt, wie die Reisenden über Liebe als Grundbedingung für eine glückliche Ehe diskutieren – eine Ansicht, die vor allem von einer nicht mehr jungen, häßlichen, rauchenden Dame vertreten wird. Ein alter Kaufmann dagegen vertritt rigoros patriarchalische, antiquiert anmutende Ansichten. Endlich, nachdem die meisten ausgestiegen sind, erzählt Posdnyschew seine Geschichte: Als junger Mann, nach Jahren des Alleineseins beschließt er zu heiraten. Obwohl er körperliche Begehrlichkeiten als „tierisch“ ablehnt, ist er von der Sinnlichkeit seiner Frau angezogen und fasziniert, sie bekommen fünf Kinder. Seine Gattin – sie ist eine nun dreißigjährige Schönheit – erfährt, dass sie aus gesundheitlichen Gründen keine Kinder mehr bekommen darf, damit ist jede körperliche Beziehung zu Ende. Sie widmet sich nun ihren persönlichen Neigungen, besonders dem Klavierspiel. Posdnyschew argwöhnt, dass sie nach einer neuen Liebe Ausschau hält, und er vergeht vor Eifersucht, wenn sie in dem gemeinsamen Haus mit einem Geiger musiziert (die „Kreutzersonate“). So kommt es zur Zuspitzung des Ehekonflikts, er tötet die vermeintliche Ehebrecherin.
