Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Tolstoy The purpose of this book is to give a connected view of Tolstoy's many-sided literary work, with such facts as to his life as may serve to shed light on that Work and on the personality of the man who produced it. The book does not attempt to chronicle in detail the events of Tolstoy's life, or to furnish information as to each of his minor bits of writing; it avoids digressions on the mem bers of his family and other persons associated with him.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Tolstoy: His Life and Works This book contains completed studies of the life and work of Leo Tolstoy, the product of several years of intimate relations of principle, and of personal friendship and correspondence, with him.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Last Days of Tolstoy Some Of us in Great Britain feel that the time has come when it is highly desirable that we should hear the story of the tragedy which beset the last years of Leo Tolstoy's life, from one who was in its scene. We can understand and respect your reticence up to this point. But now so many rumours, derogatory to Tolstoy, and therefore likely to diminish the weight of his teaching, are spreading over the world, and seem to be the subject Of a very active propaganda even in this country.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Demands of Love and Reason: From Recent Published and Unpublished Writings of Leo Tolstoy One would think no kind of life could be better. But, nevertheless, this life will be hell, or will become hell, if these people are not hypocrites and do not lie, i.s., if they are really sincere. If these people have renounced the advantages and pleasures of life which town and money gave them, they have done so only because they acknowledge all men to be brothers equals before their Father. Not equals in ability, or, perhaps, in worth; but equals in their right to life, and to all that life can give.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Life of Tolstoy: Later Years In this edition I have made a few slight alterations in the text, and have added an account of Tolstoy's last illness and death. But the reader should please bear in mind that all but the last two dozen pages of the book were written and published while Tolstoy was still alive. With reference to the statement of his religious views he wrote to me: 'I have just read your presentation of my religious views, and have found it quite good. Here and there I have pencilled remarks on it. It is for you to decide whether you agree with them and accept them.' They were all adopted. 'For my own part, I repeat that the presentation of the whole is very good, and I heartily thank you for it.' That the events of his life as set forth in this volume are accurate, is guaranteed by the fact that his wife, the Countess S. A. Tolstoy, most kindly rendered me the very valuable assistance of reading and correcting it, chapter by chapter. The material collected in the Russian edition of Birukof's Biography of Tolstoy (which as yet reaches only to the year 1884) was of great use to me in writing this book. On several important matters our conclusions differ, but that in no way diminishes my obligation to him. Of the other numerous sources from which I have drawn, acknowledgment is made at the end of each chapter.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Leo Tolstoy Resurrection, Vol. 2 In the corner of the room stood an antique inlaid arm chair, and the sight of this old chair which he re membered seeing in his mother's bedroom suddenly evoked in Nekhliudov's soul an entirely unexpected feel ing. He began to feel sorry for the house that would go to wreck and ruin, and for the garden that would be neg lected, and for the woods that would be exterminated, and for all those cattle pens, stables, implement sheds, machines, horses, cows, which, he knew, cost so much trouble and effort to instal and to maintain, though the trouble and effort had not been his own. It had seemed before such an easy thing to renounce all this, but now he regretted not only this, but also the land and the loss of half the revenue, which might now prove so useful. And instantly there were at his beck and call many spe cions arguments which showed that it was not sensible or proper to give up the land to the peasants and to destroy his property.

Download or read book The Life of Tolstoy First Fifty Years Classic Reprint written by Aylmer Maude and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-04-23 with total page 494 pages. 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.'

Download or read book Tolstoy written by Rosamund Bartlett and published by HMH. This book was released on 2011-11-08 with total page 581 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This biography of the brilliant author of War and Peace and Anna Karenina “should become the first resort for everyone drawn to its titanic subject” (Booklist, starred review). In November 1910, Count Lev Tolstoy died at a remote Russian railway station. At the time of his death, he was the most famous man in Russia, more revered than the tsar, with a growing international following. Born into an aristocratic family, Tolstoy spent his existence rebelling against not only conventional ideas about literature and art but also traditional education, family life, organized religion, and the state. In “an epic biography that does justice to an epic figure,” Rosamund Bartlett draws extensively on key Russian sources, including fascinating material that has only become available since the collapse of the Soviet Union (Library Journal, starred review). She sheds light on Tolstoy’s remarkable journey from callow youth to writer to prophet; discusses his troubled relationship with his wife, Sonya; and vividly evokes the Russian landscapes Tolstoy so loved and the turbulent times in which he lived.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Life of Tolstoy The events following his leaving Yasnaya Polyana, and his illness at Astapovo, only increased the deep public interest. His death came as the inevitable epilogue of an act for the continua tion of which his strength was not sufficient. It was a majestic conclusion to a great life, which had been one incessant struggle for truth, reason, and love. This short biographical sketch is an attempt to give the reader a simple enumeration of the chief events of Tolstoy's wonderful life, and an indication of the inner, spiritual development of his great soul.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Diaries of Leo Tolstoy: Youth, 1847 to 1852 When the records oi a great man's life are in question it is not so much the culmination - a matter of common knowledge - which interests one, but rather the first steps, the early indications of what he was eventually to prove himself. Of Tolstoy's Diaries, of which only a portion relating to his latter years has hitherto been published, it may be said that the good wine has been kept till now. The vintage Of Tolstoy's youth holds in a rare degree the essence of his matured philosophy. The Diaries, of which the first pages were written in 1846, were, from the beginning, Diaries of thoughts rather than of actions. They express many of the ideas which he was afterwards to expand in his polemical works, and they owe their vital quality not only to intimate, self-revealing touches, but because they voice the cry of Youth in all' climes and ages - Youth which is ever in spiritual conflict between the external laws of life and the needs of the inner being. It was a subject upon which Tolstoy wrote and pondered much in the course of his long life. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
