Download or read book Tolstoy on Screen written by Lorna Fitzsimmons and published by Northwestern University Press. This book was released on 2015 with total page 351 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Scholarship on screen adaptation has proliferated in recent years, but it has remained largely focused on English- and Romance-language authors. Tolstoy on Screen aims to correct this imbalance with a comprehensive examination of film and television adaptations of Tolstoy’s fiction. Spanning the silent era to the present day, these essays consider well-known as well as neglected works in light of contemporary adaptation and media theory. The book is organized to facilitate a comparative, cross-cultural understanding of the various practices employed in different eras and different countries to bring Tolstoy’s writing to the screen. International in scope and rigorous in analysis, the essays cast new light on Tolstoy’s work and media studies alike.
Download or read book Tolstoy s Major Fiction written by Edward Wasiolek and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 1978 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Edward Wasiolek, after much valuable work on Dostoevsky, has now written one of the best books on Tolstoy in recent decades. This may be in part because of his preoccupation with Tolstoy's most challenging contemporary, and the resulting sense of their unlikeness in a common pursuit. But there are other, unspeculative reasons. Few studies of Tolstoy have been so carefully pondered and so firmly organized to convince; and not so many show the flexibility and variety of its approach. Wasiolek proposes an essentially simple and consistent reading, but he advances it with subtlety and discretion."—Henry Gifford, Times Literary Supplement

"The Prisoner of the Caucasus" by Leo Tolstoy is a gripping short story that explores themes of captivity, identity, and cultural understanding. The story follows a Russian soldier, Shamil, who is captured by Chechen rebels during the Caucasian War. While Shamil is held captive, he develops an unexpected bond with his captor, a Chechen woman, revealing a humanity that transcends the boundaries of culture and nation.

Download or read book The Prose of the Mountains written by Aleksandre Quazbegi and published by Central European University Press. This book was released on 2015-09-01 with total page 267 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Prose of the Mountains contains three tales of the Caucasus by Aleksandre Qazbegi, one of the most prescient and gifted chroniclers of the Georgian encounter with colonial modernity. His stories offer an invaluable counterpoint to the predominantly Russian narratives that have hitherto shaped scholarly accounts of the nineteenth-century Caucasus. ?Memoirs of a Shepherd? poignantly chronicles the young author?s decision to pass seven years of his life as a shepherd with Georgian mountaineers. ?Eliso? (the name of a Chechen girl) offers one of the most searing accounts on record of the forced migration of this people from their homeland to Ottoman lands. Set in the sixteenth century, ?Khevis Beri Gocha? (the name of a Georgian village chief) classically chronicles a tragic misunderstanding between a severe father and his loving son.

Download or read book Tolstoy written by Ernest Joseph Simmons and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-08-27 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tolstoy’s fame as one of the world’s greatest novelists has never been in doubt, but the importance of his views on the social, moral and religious issues of his time is not so widely recognised. This study, first published in 1973, presents an introduction to the historical and cultural background of Tolstoy’s lifetime, then going on to consider the major events of his developing personality as a writer and reformer. As well as considering the famous novels and literary criticism, Simmons treats his educational theories and practice, famine relief work, spiritual crises and religious, social and moral beliefs, as reflected in controversial writings such as What I Believe, What Then Must We Do? and The Kingdom of God Is Within You. He also investigates Tolstoy’s involvement in government, war and revolution, and the relevance of his reformist views in the contemporary world.
