The magnificent banquet honoring General Bagration was held in Moscow on March 3, 1806 at the English Club, a great marble hall with a series of smaller saloons. This celebration is remembered for its fervor amidst defeat. A source Tolstoy used for this was the first-hand account by the English writer & diplomat, Robert Ker Porter, who ironically notes that by 1806, there were not three English members of this social club.  Tolstoy has all the rooms humming with conversation, like bees swarming in Spring. Many guests were elderly and respected personages who could be found at their usual places. A smaller set were younger, some returning from Austerlitz. This is symbolized by Denísov, Rostov and Dolokhov— the latter who is said to be having an affair with Pierre's wife. The faces of youth expressed “We honor and respect you, our elders, but remember, the future belongs to us.” Pierre was surrounded by subservience to his wealth. He now belonged to a class he quickly grew contemptuous of. He was no longer that vibrant clumsy character when he had little to his name. He was fashionably dressed but appeared sullen. At his wife's insistence, he let his hair grow and abandoned his spectacles. Many of the historic figures at the event rationalized the loss at Austerlitz.  The night was filled with a passion for revival with much of the zeal directed toward Bagration. It was the most animated Porter ever recalled seeing aristocrats of Europe get.  Count Rostov is presented as having the honor of hosting this event and he enthusiastically greets all who attend. His son was accompanied by Dolokhov, whose acquaintance Nicholas had come to value. When Bagration arrived, bells rang, servants rushed around and the better part of the 300 guests crowded to witness the arrival. Bagration was described as short and with a dark complexion, indicative of the warm climates he had served in. His face was perfectly Georgian and expressed an affability and sweetness. He was dressed in a green uniform covered with various awards.Bagration had the honor of entering the dining area first and walked reticently. He would look more comfortable in a field under fire. He was soon escorted by Count Rostov, who appealed for the guests to make way. Ilya carried a large silver tray, on top of which lied written verses that were read aloud and continued through the dinner announcement. The sentiment expressed was: You Bring Glory to Alexandr's Reign; You are a Dreaded Foe, which Napoleon has Learned So Well; You carry the Wisdom and Tactics of Caesar; You are a Rhipheus (hero of Troy); But are in essence, a Good and Kind-Hearted Man.The guests grew hungry and found their seats, which corresponded to their rank and importance. The Count with a few choice peers sat facing Bagration. Ilyá presented his son to Bagration and was filled with joy when the two chatted.  Nicholas, Denísov and Dolokhov sat almost at the middle of the table. Facing them were Pierre and Prince Nesvitski,Every selection at dinner was splendid. Between the courses was a stream of toasts. At one point, the Host shouted, “To the health of our Sovereign, the Emperor!” The band immediately struck up a traditional patriotic song, which led all to rise and shout “Hurrah!” Young Rostov's ecstatic voice could be heard above the rest during his own toast to Alexandr. He emptied his glass at one gulp he thrashed it on the floor. Many followed the example and it was the job of the footmen to clean up the mess.  Various officers were then toasted and the glasses continued to shatter.As I have been stressing, Bagration was embraced as National Hero and redeemer. However, Bagration did have his own embarrassments, which Tolstoy knew of and some scholars believe the author addresses indirectly.  Notably, Bagration was shamed by his wife, the alluring Ekaterina, who carried the nickname, le Bel Ange Nu, the Beautiful Naked Angel, for her revealing and often translucent attire. They separated in 1805 and she was renowned for her liaisons. This included a long-term relationship with Clemence Von Metternich, the Austrian diplomat, by whom she bore her only child, Marie. Metternich informally adopted the child, allowing Marie to live with his family.  Ekaterina remained married and Marie was raised with Bagration's name – as mandated by Czar Alexandr, who was also said to have relations with Ekaterina years later.These the widely known affairs of Ekaterina appear to be thrust upon the fictional Hélène, Pierre's wife. Rumors are swirling that Hélène is making a fool of Pierre, who is in many senses, is Tolstoy's hero of the novel.  In this chapter, we have Pierre present, stewing in anger and seated across from his new rival, while the historic hero, who had a similar problem, is honored.

On his return as a lieutenant in a fancy military jacket laced with silver as well as possessing a St. George's Cross for bravery, Nicholas is treated magnificently. Nicholas gets used to it and develops an ego that leaves him open to being taken advantage of. The finances of his aristocratic family are brought out, noting how his affable father, Ilya, was bestowing a trove on his Prodigal son, as well as other celebratory events after remortgaging his estates. Illya purchased his son a fine horse that could enter races and also the most fashionable outfits. With his new look and demeanor, Nicholas would be seen at the elite social events. He also visited a woman on the boulevard…a fairly clear reference to a prostitute. He relished being home as a young man aware of the world.  He left behind childish things, such as once feeling disconcerted about sneaking around his mansion kissing Sonya. He also visited the historical English Club – a social institution started by English merchants around 1770 that gathered at various stately houses. Men used the Club to socialize, drink, gamble and make connections. Tolstoy, Pushkin and Nikolai Gogol were members. Gogol is a writer with Ukrainian roots, from a Cossack family, which both Ukraine & Russia claim as theirs. Like much of Moscow, Rostov's passion for the Czar cooled but he still expressed that there was something in his feelings for Alexandr that could not be understood by others. Rostov drifted even away further from Sonya, as Tolstoy expertly catches the nature of a young man who must have his freedom. He knew there were more women to know and Love would come later. It was now early March, and Ilya is arranging a dinner in honor of General Bagration at the aforementioned English Club. Ilya is presented as a long-time member.    This celebration for actually happened and it is important to recognize why. The reason was that Bagration was viewed as the saving grace of the recent war. Tolsoty reveals how the news of Austerlitz traveled. High Society had generally been accustomed to victories, especially from era of Catherine the Great & General Suvorov, where the triumphs were common over the Ottomans and Poles. On receiving news of the absolute defeat at Austerlitz – much of Moscow did not believe it or chose not to.  However, the truth could not be contained. When it spread, it had to be dealt with. Blame was cast on many, including Kutuzov. Many felt it was the general's age, health, and lack of ingenuity that led to defeat. More quietly blame was cast the Czar, by way of his youth, inexperience and trust in worthless advisors. Still, a good portion considered Alexandr as the “angel incarnate.” Most vocally, the Austrians were blamed.The public felt compelled to throw their support behind the army.  Some were singled out for having performed miracles of valor. The chief hero of was General Bagration, hailed for his effort at Schön Grabern and command of the rear-guard. It also helped that Moscow's new hero was a stranger to the City. Tolstoy has Shinshin (a quick wit and relative of the Rostovs) parody the master of satire, Voltaire by voicing, “Had there been no Bagration, it would have been necessary to invent him.” The original quote was “Had there been no God, it would have been necessary to invent him.” The Frenchman reached something profound in few words.   Tales of valor of numerous men were embellished and spread and characters like Rostov, Boris and Berg symbolized that wave. One may have saved a standard, another had reportedly killed five Frenchmen, while another was said to fight valiantly with an injury.There is a reference that nobody spoke of Andrei. Reports were that he was killed, leaving a pregnant wife with his eccentric father. Tolstoy references Andrei to symbolize the many, with such promise, who were wasted.This chapter plays up the elaborateness of the preparation for the event at the English Club, going through the choice of cook, food and entertainment. Nicholas jokes with his father that Bagration prepared less for battle at Schön Grabern. Ilya tells his son to go to Pierre's, invite him and obtain the best fruit – strawberries and pineapples, as they are not available anywhere else.  Anna Drubetskaya shows up and introduces the sordid affair that Pierre is affected by. There is a rumor that Dolokhov, who survived Austerlitz, is having an affair with Helene, Pierre's wife.  Helene, has always been presented as the type of woman who is a snare -- something of Delilah to the Biblical Sampson. She reveals that Pierre gave Dolokhov a place to stay upon his return and was betrayed. This has filled Pierre with a rage of biblical proportions.

Hey all! Just wanted to share some updates from living in Japan for nearly 6 months now! Check out this episode to hear what I've been up to, brief updates from Drew, the hard parts of living in a foreign country, and some encouragement for you!I've been asked a lot what I'm doing in Japan. At first I felt like I had to explain or prove myself; it took a while for me to learn that my value is not in working. Thankfully, I've been reminded that my value is in being loved by God and loving others. Now I'd like to share some things I enjoy getting to do here in Japan:SAHW - Especially with adjusting to living in a new country, it's such a gift that Drew & I can work together to tackle life tasks. We moved here for his job, and I try to make his life a little easier by taking care of things at home such as cleaning, cooking (learning Japanese recipes), dishes, laundry, groceries, running errands. Volunteer - I get to teach English conversation classes to local seniors, and help teach English to children with a friend of ours & help with English Club at Drew's school!Study Japanese  - compared to Spanish, it is an extremely difficult language. I was actually reading online about how it is the most difficult language to learn going from English to Japanese. Did y'all know there are like 3 alphabets?? At first I did not enjoy studying Japanese, it was a chore, a duty. But now?? I do enjoy it and I'm slowly understanding more & more when I listen to people talk. It's exciting to grow in Japanese because I can use it to connect with people more!Church - services & activities. We love our church and it's been great getting connected to our local community. we came to our church the first Sunday that we were in Japan. It was also the church we found online when we found out that we were placed in Kumamoto (also cool fun fact is that our pastor who did premarital counseling and was our officiant - he's Japanese and his family came from Kumamoto). It's an international church with a service for families and a service for young adults. Often all 6 inhabited continents are represented at church gatherings. Services are held in Japanese and English. I got to dance at the Christmas services and we get to help in some small ways, including leading an English bible study.Podcast - I'm trying to keep up with the podcast lol. It's cool seeing goodness, truth, & beauty reach people even when they're in rough situations. I also love getting to interview people & hear/share their stories both here in Japan and through video calls to the US.Bible study - I get to lead a Bible study with some ladies from church and Drew & I are connected to an online Bible study with Christians all over Japan.Hula classes - I can't not be dancing! Hula is such a beautiful, peaceful style of dance. We've been learning a few pieces to perform which is so fun!So very thankful for this season of not having to work a regular job, but getting to learn & serve in other ways. Check out this episode to hear more!

Today the English Club reads Gothikana, RuNyx's TikTok famous dark adacemia teacher student romance! Well, they read half of it. BUT, both read a different half, so together, they know the full story. How good do our hosts do at piecing together this chilling, bodice-ripping romance? ABOUT THE BOOK: An unusual girl. An enigmatic man. An ancient castle. What could go wrong? An outcast her entire life, Corvina Clemm is left adrift after losing her mother. When she receives the admission letter from the mysterious University of Verenmore, she accepts it as a sign from the universe. The last thing she expects though is an olden, secluded castle on top of a mountain riddled with secrets, deceit, and death. An enigma his entire life, Vad Deverell likes being a closed book but knowing exactly everything that happens in the university. A part-time professor working on his thesis, Vad has been around long enough to know the dangers the castle possesses. And he knows the moment his paths cross with Corvina, she's dangerous to everything that he is. They shouldn't have caught each other's eye. They cannot be. But a chill-inducing century-old mystery forces them to collide. People have disappeared every five years for over a hundred years, and Corvina is getting clues to unraveling it all, and Vad needs to keep an eye on her. And so begins a tale of the mystique, the morbid, the macabre, and a deep love that blossoms in the unlikeliest of places.

Something much more insidious. Music by Benjamin Davis.

This week we're discussing the second half of Burmese Days by George Orwell. The Tannerite has been lit and the explosion, rather than revealing the gender of a baby on the way, sends sharpnel of despair into the reader's eyes. For the first few chapters, Flory's star is rising. He has made up with Elizabeth by going hunting with her. On their hunt Flory and Elizabeth encounter a leopard which they successfully slay. Elizabeth is overcome with emotional whimsey and expects Flory to ask for her hand in marriage before the week is up. This is for sensible reasons as well - to preclude a life of absolute poverty and escape the grasp of her lecherous Uncle. Elizabeth's affection even gives Flory the courage to recommend Dr. Veraswami to the English Club, as a way to protect his friend from the machinations of U Po Kyin. But wait, the dashing, polo-playing, horse riding Lieutenant Verrall arrives and sweeps Elizabeth off her feet. She discovers Flory's “beastly” relationship with the Burmese woman Ma Hla May and her affections shift directions. But Verrall's poise is only matched by his debts, and he leaves Kyauktada without a word to Elizabeth or to his creditors. Like the gentle Burmese breeze, Elizabeth's attention now shifts back to Flory. The “crocodile” U Po Kyin executes a dastardly plan and fomented a fake rebellion, with the idea that if U Po Kyin were to stop the rebellion he would gain favor with the English. This faux rebellion morphs into a real one after reprisals and counter-reprisals. Eventually, a mob of Burmese villagers show up at the English Club to take revenge on the scoundrel Ellis, but Flory saves the day by both dispersing the mob and avoiding any unnecessary death. U Po Kyin seems to have been foiled, Elizabeth is smitten with Flory, and all seems right with the world, or Flory's world at least. However, the crocodile has another snap left in him. U Po Kyin recruits Flory's former mistress, Ma Hla May to demand money from Flory at a Sunday church service. Elizabeth in a characteristic fashion, responds with disgust towards Flory and rejects him once again. Flory makes his way home, shoots our most redeemable character, the dog Flo, and does himself in with a bullet to the chest. The final chapter gives us some insight into life after Flory's suicide. Verasami is sent out of Kyauktada, Elizabeth marries the outpostt military man McGregor, and U Po Kyin dies soon after.

This week we're discussing the first half of Burmese Days by George Orwell. The first half of the novel is an evocative, semi-autobiographical account of the man John Flory, an English timber merchant living in the Burmese imperial district of Kyauktada. Flory is a sensitive and depraved fellow, a person whose life did not play out exactly as he planned. Lacking other prospects, Flory secured a job at the timber company with the help of his parents, and was sent out to Burma in his early twenties. It has been fifteen years since that moment. He has not seen England since. He is a man with no friends and no prospects for them. The English imperial agents with their racist bravado does not appeal to him, and true friendship with the subjected Burmese is socially impossible. The closest Flory gets is with the striving Indian doctor Veraswami. The doctor is a loyal British subject, advocating for imperial virtues where Flory refuses to. Veraswami is also being targeted by the corrupt deputy U Po Kyin whom Verawswami refers to as the crocodile. Veraswami appeals to Flory for assistance in fending off U Po Kyin, but Flory's cowardly behavior stops him from doing so. The final chapters of this section introduce us to Elizabeth. She is the orphaned daughter of an overly optimistic businessman and a faux artist mother, coming to Kyauktada to live with her aunt and Uncle - Mr and Mrs. Lackersteen, two frequenters to the English Club. Flory falls for her almost immediately and hopes that she will be the friend and companion that he had been hoping for, but Elizabeth is perhaps more imperial than any of the other British subjects in Burma. Flory tries to introduce Elizabeth to different aspects of Burmese life - dances, bazzaars, the natives generally, but all Elizabeth can see is a beastly people below her as contrasted to the beautiful life of luxury she aspires to.
