A century after Leo Tolstoy's death, the author of War and Peace is
widely admired but too often thought of only with reference to his
realism and moral sense. The many sides of Tolstoy revealed in
these essays speak to readers with astonishing force, relevance,
and complexity. In a lively, challenging style, leading scholars
range over his long life, from his first work Childhood to the
works of his old age like Hadji Murat, and the many genres in which
he worked, from the major novels to aphorisms and short stories.
The essays present fresh approaches to his central themes: love,
death, religious faith and doubt, violence, the animal kingdom, and
war. They also assess his reception both in his lifetime and
subsequently. Setting new agendas for the study of this classic
author, this volume provides a snapshot of more current scholarship
on Tolstoy.
