I guessed correctly but only because War and Peace was the only novel I could think of about the Napoleonic Wars

Great Answer for Final Jeopardy!! It stumped the contestants.

@erichremiker7923 3 місяці тому

Fun fact: [QUESTION] was originally intended to be about the Decembrists, but [AUTHOR] realized he couldn't tell the story of the Decembrists without first giving the background of the Napoleonic wars. That slowly ballooned until [QUESTION] became a stand-alone book. A book about the Decembrists was started but never finished.

I watched the Russian production on television, back in the 1960's. I think it ran for four nights. I can't remember if it was dubbed voices or closed captioned, just that it was beautiful.

@thomasrockhoff 3 місяці тому

I couldnt remember where the Decemberists were from so in my head made a Russian, French, and English and it was literally these 3. If I had HAD to pick, I wouldve guessed right but by total luck.

@CharlesLumia 3 місяці тому

@kali3665 3 місяці тому

Alec looked so relieved - he may have been guessing, and it turned out correct. I SHOULD have thought of that. but first question out of my head was What Is Les Miserables. I didn't think of the big clue of the Decembrists. Ah well.

@hsupower 3 місяці тому

I had the same reaction, too. I had my response down two possibilities. I thought about Oliver Twist. Then, I was thinking it could not be a Dickens novel. With about 7 to 8 seconds left, I went with "What is War & Peace?" I then said, "Try it." I was shocked that I got the right response tonight.

@ZdzichuWiertara96 3 місяці тому

I also should've thought of that. I knew Decembrists were in Russia, but I never got to like their literature - be it Tolstoy, Dostoyevsky or anyone else, I couldn't even force myself through any.

@craigkatz1018 3 місяці тому

War and Peace didn't even cross my mind. First ones I thought of were Les Mis, The Tale of Two Cities and even The Man in The Iron Mask. But once the correct response was revealed it dawned on me that the Decembrists were the name of the revolutionaries in Tzarist Russia

@Driven2Beers 3 місяці тому

I remember Benny Hill referring to A Sale of Two [censored]!

@judith_thordarson 3 місяці тому

I made an incorrect guess. What helped me with my wrong response was the fact that I never check the publishing dates on books that I read. Oh, and the fact that I never read the novel that was revealed as the correct response. * this comment is strictly a means of helping to bury the spoiler comment from Commander McBragg.

@lordburgendy6108 3 місяці тому

I saw Decemberists and thought, "Russia," but then I saw Napoleon and thought, "Well, maybe there were Decemberists in the French Revolution?" So I guessed Tale of Two Cities. Should've gone with my gut and knew it was Russian literature.

@johngreen6783 3 місяці тому

I picked the right answer too - but only because that was the only novel I could think of involving Russians in the time of napoleon

@andrewklang809 3 місяці тому

The Decembrist Revolt is something worth looking into, and never gets talked about (even the winner here seemed to have guessed it). It was an early attempt to limit absolute rule in Russia, almost a century before the big Russian Revolution(s). The kind of government they wanted to create was arguably more liberal than what Russia has nowadays. For 200 or 300 years, Western reformers vs Orthodox absolutists have been fighting over the form of government for Russia. Back and forth, back and forth, but always remaining/returning to a dictatorship headed by an autocrat. No wonder the country's been so screwed up for so long. The Decembrists represented probably the earliest "What If?" of Russia becoming more representative like the West.

I had this! And I'm stupid!

@kurtjohnson4816 3 місяці тому

Ya get older, so many factoids running around in your head, memory is faulty, brain works a bit slower. The Decembrists was the clear clue, but I got them confused for a few secs with French revolutionaries. And that's the difference between a winner, and an embarrassment to friends, family, former classmates and teachers. I'm sorry I became such a disappointment.
