1910. Maude was a translator of many of Tolstoy's works and the
writer of his biography, of which this is the second volume.
Tolstoy is considered one of the greatest of all novelists with his
collected works numbering 90 and War and Peace and Anna Karenina
being counted as his two masterpieces. After finishing Anna
Karenina Tolstoy renounced all his earlier works and wrote
Conversion to explain his doctrines. Resurrection was his last
major novel. By this time, Tolstoy started to himself more as a
sage and moral leader than an artist. In 1901 the Russian Orthodox
Church excommunicated the author. Tolstoy became seriously ill and
he recuperated in Crimea. He then left his estate to his disciple
Vladimir Chertkov so as to follow the urge to live as a wandering
ascetic, Tolstoy died of pneumonia on November 20, 1910, at a
remote railway junction. Contents: The Transition Stage; Theology
