Leo Tolstoy s Colonel Sarty Snopes
For my dinner party, I am going to invite William Faulkner, Victor Hugo, Leo Tolstoy, and the
character Colonel Sarty Snopes. I have chosen these guests because of their connection with
revolution. Leo Tolstoy writes about the revolution one takes at the scariest moment of one s life,
death. According to The Norton Anthology of Western Literature, What, Tolstoy asks us, is the
