Tolstoy's art as represented in his greatest novels: War and Peace
and Anna Karenina continues to absorb, fascinate and delight modern
readers despite the lack of appeal of much of his later
convictions. His great works continue to exercise a profound
influence on the best imaginative writing. In our own time Vikram
Seth's A Suitable Boy, clearly inspired by War and Peace, has
deservedly become a world best seller. John Bayley concentrates in
this short introductory study on Tolstoy's two great works and the
ancillary texts and tales that relate to them. In elucidating the
power and originality which are alive in those masterpieces
Professor Bayley makes a compelling case for a return to the
originals which will continue to captivate readers and draw them
irresistibly into a uniquely spacious and complex world.
