Lev Tolstoy has held the attention of mankind for well over a
century. A supremely talented artist, whose novels and short
stories continue to entrance readers all over the world, he was at
the same time a fearless moral philosopher who explored and
challenged the fundamental bases of human society-political,
economic, legal, and cultural. Hugh McLean, Professor Emeritus of
Russian literature at the University of California, Berkeley, has
been studying and writing about Tolstoy for many years. In these
essays he investigates some of the numerous puzzles and paradoxes
in the Tolstoyan heritage, engaging both with Tolstoy the artist,
author of those incomparable novels, and Tolstoy the thinker, who,
from his impregnable outpost at Yasnaya Polyana, questioned the
received ideas and beliefs of the whole civilized world. In two
concluding essays, "Tolstoy beyond Tolstoy," McLean deals with the
impact of Tolstoy on such diverse figures as Ernest Hemingway and
Isaiah Berlin.
