Leo Tolstoy tells a masterful story that encompasses all of life—marriage, war, old age, birth, coming of age, and death. Tolstoy did not believe that history was caused by the actions of great men or by great forces, but by the innumerable actions of individuals. Here he chronicles the French invasion from the eyes of both the great man himself and of the many nameless whose lives were shaken by him.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-sheets-value=\"{\u0026quot;1\u0026quot;:2,\u0026quot;2\u0026quot;:\u0026quot;Ishmael has always been a wanderer, but as soon as he meets the mysterious harpooner Queequeg, he is drawn aboard the Pequod and under the sway of the one-legged Captain Ahab.
