Leo Tolstoy, or Count Lev Nikolayevich Tolstoy (1828-1910), was a Russian writer widely regarded as among the greatest of novelists for his masterpieces War and Peace and Anna Karenina. Tolstoy's further talents as essayist, dramatist, and educational reformer made him the most influential member of the aristocratic Tolstoy family.
Translated by Aylmer Maude, V. Tchertkoff, and A.C. Fifield.
The soul-searching book that inspired Gandhi to embrace the concept
of passive resistance, Tolstoy's 1894 polemic outlines a radical,
well-reasoned revision of traditional Christian thinking. The
revered novelist and political thinker denounces violent
revolution, calling upon readers to rely upon their inner divinity
for the strength to effect social change.
Ivan Ilyich Golovin, a high court judge in St. Petersburg with a wife and family, lives a carefree life and like everyone he is aware of, he lives a life spent almost entirely in climbing the social ladder, and his life begins to amass more hypocrisy as it goes on. Enduring life with a wife whom he often finds too demanding, he works his way up to be a magistrate focusing more and more on his work as family life becomes more miserable.
Described by Dostoevsky as "flawless" and by Faulkner as the best novel ever written, Anna Karenina is Tolstoy's classic tale of infidelity and vengeance. Set against the backdrop of high society in in 19th-century Moscow and Saint Petersburg, it portrays the doomed love affair between sensuous and rebellious Anna and the dashing Count Vronsky. In Anna Karenina, Tolstoy brought to perfection the novel of social realism, creating a masterpiece that bares the Russian soul. As Matthew Arnold wrote, "We are not to take Anna Karenina as a work of art; we are to take it as a piece of life." Anna Karenina is a big book, and most publishers try to pack it into small newsprint pages with tiny, nearly unreadable type. This edition, on the other hand, has been newly designed and printed on large-format, high-quality paper with easy-to-read type, making it a deluxe volume at a still-reasonable price.
"Tolstoy's lavish and always graphic use of detail," wrote John
Bayley, "together of course with its romance and exotic setting . .
. has made "The Cossacks the most popular of all his works." This
vibrant new translation of Tolstoy's 1862 novel, by PEN Translation
Award winner Peter Constantine, is the author's
semiautobiographical depiction of young Olenin, a wealthy,
disaffected Muscovite, who joins the Russian army and travels to
the untamed frontier of the Caucasus in search of a more authentic
life. Quartered with his regiment in a Cossack village, Olenin
revels in the glories of nature and the rough strength of the
Cossacks and Chechens. Smitten by his unrequited love for a local
girl, Maryanka, Olenin has a profound but ultimately short-lived
spiritual awakening. Try as he might to assimilate, he remains an
awkward outsider and his long search for a more enlightened and
purposeful existence comes to naught. "From the Hardcover edition.
La obra de Tolstoi reflejo toda una epoca de la vida de Rusia: para el "la novela tiene como finalidad la descripcion global de la vida humana"; y los sucesos que se desarrollan en Anna Karenina revelan una observacion atenta y directa de un ambiente del que el propio autor fue participe. Aunque desde su aparicion fue acogida como una reaccion contra el movimiento naturalista frances, sigue en esta obra los modelos del naturalismo hasta superarlos.
