Volume 3: Book 15 - Chapter 12

Characters Present:

Pierre Bezukhov

Location: 

Orël


As soon as Pierre arrives in Orël, he gets what the doctors call "bilious fever" for three months.   Despite being treated with medicine and ointments and being bled a lot, Pierre recovers. 

He finds that he has lost his aim in life, as he now has a closer faith in God.  Previously, he had faith that God would reveal what his aim should be. Now, Pierre now feels that what he had been looking for through a telescope was actually at his feet the whole time.
