Book excerpt: "Tolstoy On Shakespeare: A Critical Essay On Shakespeare" is a non-fiction work by the renowned Russian writer Leo Tolstoy, published in 1906. In this essay, Tolstoy presents a comprehensive critique of the works of William Shakespeare, arguably the most celebrated playwright in the English language. Tolstoy's assessment of Shakespeare's plays is characterized by both admiration and criticism. While he acknowledges Shakespeare's literary genius and the universal appeal of his works, Tolstoy also questions their moral and artistic value. One of Tolstoy's main criticisms of Shakespeare is centered on what he perceives as the lack of moral clarity and coherence in his plays. Tolstoy argues that Shakespeare's characters and plots lack moral integrity and fail to convey a clear moral message. He accuses Shakespeare of promoting moral relativism and portraying human behavior in a morally ambiguous light, which he views as detrimental to society. Furthermore, Tolstoy criticizes Shakespeare's portrayal of life as a series of chaotic and meaningless events, devoid of any higher purpose or moral order. He contrasts this with his own belief in the importance of moral principles and the pursuit of a meaningful life guided by moral ideals. In addition to his moral objections, Tolstoy also critiques Shakespeare's writing style, particularly his use of complex language and intricate plots, which he finds excessive and unnecessary. Tolstoy advocates for simplicity and clarity in literature, arguing that Shakespeare's verbosity and ornate language detract from the true essence of his characters and themes. Despite his criticisms, Tolstoy acknowledges Shakespeare's immense influence on world literature and culture. He recognizes the enduring popularity of Shakespeare's plays and the profound impact they have had on subsequent generations of writers and artists. Overall, "Tolstoy On Shakespeare" offers a thought-provoking analysis of Shakespeare's works from the perspective of one of the greatest writers of the 19th century. Tolstoy's essay reflects his own moral and aesthetic principles, as well as his profound engagement with the philosophical questions of human existence and the nature of art.

Book excerpt: Lev Nikolayevich Tolstoy (September 9, 1828 - November 20, 1910) was a Russian writer who primarily wrote novels and short stories. Later in life, he also wrote plays and essays. His two most famous works, the novels War and Peace and Anna Karenina, are acknowledged as two of the greatest novels of all time and a pinnacle of realist fiction. Many consider Tolstoy to have been one of the world's greatest novelists. Tolstoy is equally known for his complicated and paradoxical persona and for his extreme moralistic and ascetic views, which he adopted after a moral crisis and spiritual awakening in the 1870s, after which he also became noted as a moral thinker and social reformer.-wikipedia

Book excerpt: Count Lev Nikolayevich Tolstoy (1828-1910) commonly referred to in English as Leo Tolstoy, was a Russian writer - novelist, essayist, dramatist and philosopher - as well as pacifist Christian anarchist and educational reformer. He was the most influential member of the aristocratic Tolstoy family. His first publications were three autobiographical novels, Childhood, Boyhood, and Youth (1852-1856). They tell of a rich landowner's son and his slow realization of the differences between him and his peasants. As a fiction writer Tolstoy is widely regarded as one of the greatest of all novelists, particularly noted for his masterpieces War and Peace (1869) and Anna Karenina (1877). In their scope, breadth and realistic depiction of 19th-century Russian life, the two books stand at the peak of realist fiction. As a moral philosopher Tolstoy was notable for his ideas on nonviolent resistance through works such as The Kingdom of God is Within You (1894). During his life, Tolstoy came to the conclusion that William Shakespeare is a bad dramatist and not a true artist at all. Tolstoy explained his views in a critical essay on Shakespeare written in 1903.
