Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Life of Tolstoy: First Fifty Years The reason I have written this work is because so many among us are interested in Tolstoy and so few seem to under stand him. It would seem therefore that an English Life of Tolstoy is needed, and having lived in Russia for twenty three years, known Tolstoy well for several years, visited him frequently in Moscow, and stayed with him repeatedly at Yasnaya Polyana, I am perhaps as well qualified as any one to write it, especially as I have long made a careful study of his views. My wife and I have translated several of his works, have known people closely connected with him, and some ten years ago we took part in an unsuccessful 'tolstoy' Colony; besides which 1 went to Canada at his wish to make arrangements for the Doukhobor migration, of which I subsequently wrote the history. Moreover, I am impartial. That is to say, I have taken pains to understand Tolstoy's views, and to see the good there is in them but being a Westerner, I see'also certain things Tolstoy overlooks, and I know that these things knock big holes in some of his most cherished 'principles.'

Book excerpt: No Englishman was better placed to write a biography of Leo Tolstoy, than Aylmer Maude (1858-1938). Maude met Tolstoy in Russia in 1888 and was a frequent visitor to Tolstoy’s home in Moscow and his estate at Yasnaya Polyana. After returning to England in 1897, Maude maintained regular correspondence with Tolstoy. With the aid of his wife, Louise, Maude began the task of translating Tolstoy’s works into English and the twenty-one volumes of the Tolstoy Centenary Edition is one of the monumental achievements of modern translation. It was Tolstoy himself who authorised Maude to write his biography and The Life of Tolstoy, published here in the revised edition of 1930, remains the best introduction to the great novelist’s life and works.

CHAPTER VIII THE SCHOOL Yasno-Polyana School. Freedom in class. Natural laws. A fight. Theft and punishment. A walk and talk on art. Peasants' opinion of the school. Gymnastics. Reading. The Bible.

A contrast. As already mentioned, Tolstoy's magazine, besides its theoretical articles, contained others describing the work done at the Yasno-Polyana school, and from these we learn in his own words, how Tolstoy and his pupils, and the masters (including the young German, Keller, whom he had brought back with him from abroad) were occupied in November and December 1861. The following passages are part of his description of the school: No one brings anything with him, neither books nor copybooks. No homework is set them. Not only do they carry nothing in their hands, they have nothing to carry even in their heads. They are not obliged to remember any lesson, nor any of yesterday's work. They are not tormented by the thought of the impending lesson. They bring only themselves, their receptive nature, and an assurance that it will be as jolly in school to-day as it was yesterday. They do not think of their classes till they have begun. No one is ever scolded for being late, and they never are late, except perhaps some of the older boys whose fathers occasionally keep them at home to do some work. In such cases the boy comes to school running fast and panting. Until the teacher arrives, some gather at the porch, pushing one another off the steps or sliding on the ice-covered path, and some go into the rooms. When it is cold, while waiting for the...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A master of realistic fiction, Leo Tolstoy is widely regarded as one of the world’s greatest novelists. He is best known for his two longest works, ‘War and Peace’ and ‘Anna Karenina’, commonly regarded as among the finest novels ever written. During his later years, Tolstoy also achieved world renown as a moral and religious teacher. His doctrine of non-resistance to evil had an important influence on Gandhi. Some viewed him as the embodiment of nature and pure vitality, others saw him as the incarnation of the world’s conscience, while all regarded him as a living symbol of the search for life’s meaning.
