The army of the allies, which were the Russian and Austrian emperors, commanded by M. I. Kutuzov, an army of French – the Emperor Napoleon, so the battle there is another historical name: “Battle of the three emperors".
Despite the objections of Kutuzov, the monarch Alexander I insisted that the Russian army had ceased to retreat, and without waiting for still not coming up army Buxhowden, joined in the battle of Austerlitz with the French. The allied forces suffered in this serious defeat and were forced to retreat in disarray.
The battle of Austerlitz was used by the writer Leo Tolstoy as a key episode of the first volume of the novel "War and peace». It has a great and very important for disclosure of characters of heroes load.
One of the main characters of the novel (Andrei Bolkonsky) imposes on the upcoming battle of Austerlitz hopes, he thinks about him as “your Toulon”, by analogy with the early military career giddy current enemy – the Emperor of France. The desire of glory and human recognition is the only purpose of his life, and he wants to meet on the battlefield of his idol-Napoleon. The Prince admired him, the life of the former corporal, who became Emperor, served as proof that personality can have a significant impact on the course of history.

The Writer is psychologically true to the inner state of a person in a deadly situation. During the heroic attack, the Prince sees not absolutely sublime, and a domestic fight scene between officer and soldier for the swab. Following this, Andrew finally felt wounded and falls. In the fall fight scene was suddenly replaced by a pattern of high, piercing the boundless blue sky with clouds creeping quietly. It was so much fascinated and completely captured his attention, that drove the French Emperor took him for heroically died.
The Emperor Napoleon always went round the battlefield to enjoy the victory and his own greatness. He could not help but notice the lying Prince Andrew heard the Emperor's words about a glorious death, but took them as empty and annoying sound. In one second in the mind, everything changed, it became clear the pettiness and the insignificance of fame, recognition, greatness, no longer interested in the outcome of the battle. Everything happening was so far away from everything I dreamed of Prince Bolkonsky, calm, deep, clear and eternal sky made him realize the futility and vanity of earthly battles, fleeing and what he dreamed the night before.
The sky of Austerlitz, the hero started a new life, it became a symbol of renewal and has become a cliché for him, cold and unattainable ideal.
The Description of the battle of Austerlitz – one of the plot-compositional nodes of the novel, its first volume. The battle plays an important role in the lives of all the main characters, their lives change. The most radical changes happen in the life of Andrei Bolkonsky: the death of his wife, the birth of a son, attempt to make a career in the civil field, the love of Natalia Rostova. All these troubles lead him to the main event in the life – participation in the battle of Borodino, in which he was destined to make a real, not romantic, heroic, and not for ephemeral greatness, and the glory of the Motherland and of life on Earth.
