  • Cyclical stories on Caucasus and Sebastopol Sketches, including War and Peace, have generally been said as masterpieces dealing with the theme of war in Leo Tolstoy's literature. Among them, it is no doubt that War and Peace is absolutely the best one describing the grand panorama of people's lives and war itself. The plot of this novel consists of the so-called Napoleonic War of 1812 and of diverse lives both from the upper class and lower class, more essentially it dramatically presents how these pictures made all literary participants experienced their destiny and lives. Throughout these texts, war, including of its cause and effects and participants, re-considers and re-evaluates all of each features. The most important themes in War and Peace is war itself as the novel's title says. Rather than a just backdrop to the novel, the war plays a significant role in providing the reader with various realistic, philosophic, moral and existentialist perspectives. Moreover, War and Peace for the writer shows contradictory two views about war; he severally criticizes the Napoleonic war of 1812 in the sense that it violets people's reason and nature. At the same time, however, Tolstoy considers that the war as liberation is justified and necessary for guarding people's nation, otechestvo in Russian. What the writer attempts to show from this novel, however, goes beyond the simple descriptions which were done above. Leo Tolstoy successfully offers and what he tries to show in the long run is that how people go through all kinds of sufferings and hardship and their spiritual resurrection, thereby leading to the vital force making history. For the writer, the essential force that makes history and people's lives is not heroic military leader like Napoleon, but those common people. And the novel serves a wonderful prelude expecting the Decembrist revolt in 1825, because all of the vital and active streams that Tolstoy emphasizes turn out true in Russian history.

  • This article examines the historical view of Benito $P{\acute{e}}rez$ $Gald{\acute{o}}s$ in his historical novel named "Zaragoza" and "$C{\acute{a}}novas$" by comparing with Numancia of Cervantes. In front of the national survival crisis, $Gald{\acute{o}}s$ recognizes that it is necessary that Spain should recover humanity and morality on basis of the krausist ideal. The krausists warned subjective idealism, stressing on free-will and moral conscience in a harmonious balance of rationality. Without refusing patriotism, they warned egoistic patriotism deformed by national selfishness or nationalism. Giner de los Ríos insisted on a necessity of harmonizing national inclination and universal one. $Gald{\acute{o}}s$ emphasizes that the identity of Spain is not possession of privileged class but sweat and tears of the mass of people in daily life. He represents Efemera as the ideal history on the basis of Unamuno's 'intrahistoria', by which, instead of $Luk{\acute{a}}cs^{\prime}$ progressive history, we can peep into a historical poetics of human free nature and vividness of discontinuous and endless shifting. According to the sub-history, we come to the conclusion that $Gald{\acute{o}}s$ and Cervantes would lay emphasis on sub-history, aiming to essence of Spanish soul originated from national landscape and people's daily life.

  • 이 논문은 프랑스 포슈 장군의 군사사상을 분석·규명하여 현실전의 최선방책을 제시하기 위한 것이다. 1. 포슈의 생애: 보불전쟁 패전으로 프랑스 명예회복을 인생목표로 삼아 군문에 들어선 후 육군대학 교수로서 실전의 지휘관으로서 1차대전의 연합군총사령관으로서 필승의 정신전력을 강조하며 대전을 승리로 종결짓는데 공헌하였다. 2. 포슈 활동기의 시대적 배경: 나폴레옹 실각이후 야기된 일련의 혁명은 유럽에 파급되어 근대국민국가 탄생을 위한 독립 및 통일전쟁의 격화와 해외식민지쟁탈전 심화를 초래하여 포슈 활동기의 유럽은 전 분야가 총체적인 위기일발의 상황이었다. 3. 포슈의 군사사상: 클라우제비츠의 전쟁론 심층연구를 통하여 기술존중과 전승을 위한 공격적 전투수행의지가 담긴 정신전력의 절대 중요성을 강조한다. 4. 포슈 사상의 현대적 함의 : 전투정신이 실추된 군대에게 필승의 정신전력의 중요성을 각인시키는 것은 전장에서 대단히 중요한 일이고 높이 평가되어야 한다. 5. 결론 : 정신전력 등 무형전력의 중요성을 강조하는 포슈의 군사사상은 높이 평가하여 현대전은 필승의 정신전력과 최신의 정예무기활용의 균형적 조합이 최선의 결과를 초래한다는 교훈이 간과되어서는 안 된다.
