Which classic novel opens with the line “Well, Prince…”? Correct
The correct answer is “War and Peace” by Leo Tolstoy. The novel opens with the line “Well, Prince, so Genoa and Lucca are now just family estates of the Buonapartes.” This iconic opening sentence sets the stage for the epic narrative that follows. In contrast, “David Copperfield” by Charles Dickens opens with “Whether I shall turn out to be the hero of my own life, or whether that station will be held by anybody else, these pages must show,” “The Little Prince” by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry begins with “Once when I was six years old I saw a magnificent picture in a book, called True Stories from Nature, about the primeval forest,” and “The Grapes of Wrath” by John Steinbeck starts with “To the red country and part of the gray country of Oklahoma, the last rains came gently, and they did not cut the scarred earth.” Each of these openings is distinct and belongs to a different classic novel, ruling them out as the correct answer.
