Book Synopsis Tolstoy's Diaries Volume 1: 1847-1894 by : Reginald F Christian
Download or read book Tolstoy's Diaries Volume 1: 1847-1894 written by Reginald F Christian. This book was released on 2015-01-29. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'An important and long-overdue contribution to our knowledge of Tolstoy.' D. M. Thomas, Sunday Times Volume 1 of Tolstoy's Diaries covers the years 1847-1894 and was 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

Book Synopsis Give War and Peace a Chance by : Andrew D. Kaufman
Download or read book Give War and Peace a Chance written by Andrew D. Kaufman. This book was released on 2015-02-10. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Considered by many critics to be the greatest novel ever written, War and Peace is also, at 1500 pages, one of the most feared. What it is not is outdated. A love story, a family saga, a war novel. Tolstoy's epic is, at its core, about human beings attempting to create a meaningful life for themselves in a country torn apart by social change, political divisiveness, and spiritual confusion. It is nothing less than a mirror of our times.
