Requirements: Any epub reader, size: 2MB
Overview: Lev Nikolayevich Tolstoy (Russian: Лев Николаевич Толстой; commonly Leo Tolstoy in Anglophone countries) 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.

Tolstoy’s Diaries Volume 1: 1847-1894
These diaries were meticulously edited by R. F. Christian so as to reflect Tolstoy’s preoccupations as a writer (his views on his own work and that of others), his development as a person and as a thinker, and his attitudes to contemporary social problems, rural life, industrialisation, education, and later, to religious and spiritual questions. Christian introduces each period with a brief and informative summary of the main biographical details of Tolstoy’s life. The result is a unique portrait of a great writer in the variegation of his everyday existence.

‘As a picture of the turbulent Russian world which Tolstoy inhabited these diaries are incomparable – the raw stuff not yet processed into art.’ Anthony Burgess

‘A model of scholarship, one of the most important books to be published in recent years.’ A. N. Wilson, Spectator
