Today’s Final Jeopardy

An early version of this novel was first published as a serial under the title “The Year 1805”

Final Jeopardy Answer

The Final Jeopardy Answer is: War and Peace

Final Jeopardy Explanation 

The novel referred to is “War and Peace” by Leo Tolstoy. An early version of this epic novel was first published as a serial under the title “The Year 1805.” Tolstoy began writing the work in 1863, and it was serialized from 1865 to 1867 before being published in its entirety in 1869. The title “The Year 1805” reflects the initial focus of the novel, set against the backdrop of the Napoleonic Wars, particularly the events surrounding the year 1805 when the French Empire under Napoleon made significant advances into Europe, including the Battle of Austerlitz. “War and Peace” later expanded in scope and depth, exploring a broader range of characters and themes beyond those initial chapters.
