This autobiography of Count Leo Nikolaevich Tolstoy's wife contains
much material with regard to Tolstoy which has not previously been
available for English readers. The question of Tolstoy's "going
away" and of his relations with his wife, Countess Sophie Tolstoy,
and other members of his family, has roused the most passionate
interest and controversy in Russia. This is partly due, no doubt,
to the dramatic and psychological interest of the whole story, but
is also due very largely to the fact that Tolstoy's actions were
bound up with his teachings, and his numerous disciples and
opponents were watching the struggle of the preacher to put his
principles in practice in his own life. The importance of this book
lies in the fact that in it for the first time Countess Sophie
Andreevna Tolstoy herself states here own case in full. The reader
should, however, remember that it is only one side of the case.
