Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'A Possession for ever.' That is how Sir William Hayley described this two volume edition of Tolstoy's letters when it was first published in 1978. It well merits this accolade. Leo Tolstoy was unquestionably the most prolific letter-writer of all the great Russian novelists of the nineteenth-century. Over 8500 of his letters have been published. Professor Christian selected and translated 608 of them. As he explains, 'When I began to consider how many letters to translate and on what basis to select them, it soon became apparent that the great majority fell roughly into one of three main categories. First there were those to do with Tolstoy the writer, his views about his own work and the works of other writers. Secondly there were those which concerned Tolstoy the thinker in a broader sense, and expressed his attitude to the times he lived in, contemporary social problems, rural life, industrialisation, education and more especially in later life, religious and spiritual questions. Thirdly there were the letters which were more loosely to do with Tolstoy the man, the main stages of his biography, his relations with his family and friends, and the growth and development of his own personality. ' Volume 1 is divided into five sections, running from 1828 to 1879. Volume 2 is divided into four sections, running from 1880 to 1910. Each section is enriched by a short introduction by Professor Christian. The two volumes do indeed constitute 'A Possession for ever.' 'Professor Christian's selection is a major act of scholarship and publication.' George Steiner, "Sunday Times" "" 'both scholarly and easy to read . . . exceptionally rewarding.' Raymond Williams, "The Guardian" "" 'Professor Christian has done an excellent job.' John Bayley, "New Statesman" "" 'This country's leading Tolstoy scholar has selected, edited and translated a twp-volume set of Tolstoy's Letters, which represents academic publishing of the highest kind. The editing and translating are immaculate . . .C.A Johnson, "Yorkshire Post" "" '. . . enthralling and deeply moving . . . They are a true a cross-section as could be desired. In his editing, his brief linking summaries, his always pertinent notes showing an incredible mastery of his subject, he is concerned only to set the scene and introduce the cast . . . Professor Christian's volumes do Tolstoy the immeasurable service of providing self-justification by self-revelation. English Tolstoyans will not be extravagant if they attach to this work Thucydides' epigraph ''A Possession for ever''. Sir William Hayley, "The Times" "" 'Nothing remotely comparable to this superb edition of Tolstoy's letters has ever been published before in English.' William B. Edgerton, Indiana University 'the most important Tolstoy publication in English in several decades . . . Together with Professor Christian's helpful and knowledgeable commentary, the letters open up an unequalled panorama of the man, his evolving outlook and the age in which he lived.' Simon Karlinsky, "New York Times Review. "

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.

Download or read book Tolstoy and the Religious Culture of His Time written by Inessa Medzhibovskaya and published by Lexington Books. This book was released on 2009-07-15 with total page 451 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first book-length study on the subject in any language, Tolstoy and the Religious Culture of His Time treats Tolstoy's experience as a massive philosophical and religious project rather than a crisis-laden tragedy. Inessa Medzhibovskaya explains the evolution of Tolstoy's religious outlook based on his ongoing dialogue with the tradition of conversion in Europe and Russia, as well as on the demands of his own heart, mind, and spirit. The author contextualizes Tolstoy's conversion, comparing his pattern of religious conversion with that of other notable religious converts-Saint Paul, Saint Augustine, Luther, Pascal, Rousseau-as well with that of Tolstoy's countrymen-Pushkin, Gogol, Chaadaev, Stankevich, Belinsky, Herzen, and Dostoevsky. Stressing the importance of the religious culture of his time for Tolstoy, this study investigates the nineteenth century debates that inspired and repelled Tolstoy as he weighed arguments for or against faith in his dialogues with the culture of his time, covering widely differing fields and disciplines of experimental knowledge. The author considers German Romantic philosophy, the natural sciences, pragmatist religious solutions, theories of social progress and evolution, and the historical school of Christianity. Medzhibovskaya stresses the fact that influential intellectual currents were as important to Tolstoy as believers and nonbelievers were from and beyond his immediate environment. The author argues that, in this sense, Tolstoy's conversion emerges as deeply intertextual, and this surprising discovery should not diminish our trust in Tolstoy's sincerity during his religious evolution, which occurred both spontaneously as well as deliberately. The polyphony of discreet spiritual moments that Tolstoy created by fusing in his narratives of conversion religious and artistic realms is arguably his greatest contribution to spiritual autobiography.
