Answer 1

This question originated from a novel, War and Peace. The novel War and Peace was a long novel written by Tolstoy in Russia and completed in 1886. The novel tells the story of a Russian noble family in the early 19th century and explored the impact of war on the people. In the novel, the rich and the rich launched a war and the poor died. This reflected the gap between the rich and the poor in society at that time.
