Tolstoy War and Peace [SEC=PERSONAL]

[June Farris]

It's Book 10, Chapter 36 (Battle of Borodino, Prince Andrei, hit by a shell...)

Online English translation:
Prince Andrew hesitated. The smoking shell spun like a top between him and the prostrate adjutant, near a wormwood plant between the field and the meadow.

"Can this be death?" thought Prince Andrew, looking with a quite new, envious glance at the grass, the wormwood, and the streamlet of smoke that curled up from the rotating black ball. "I cannot, I do not wish to die. I love life- I love this grass, this earth, this air...." He thought this, and at the same time remembered that people were looking at him.

Friends,

In War and Peace there is a scene in which one of the main protagonists is confronted with an artillery bomb which is about to explode and the internal monologue represents the protagonist thinking about his death. Can you please help me find in which volume  of the War and Peace the scene occurs.

Thanks and best wishes

Subhash
