Description

An important and long-overdue contribution to our knowledge of Tolstoy.' D.

M. Thomas, Sunday TimesVolume 2 of Tolstoy's Diaries covers the years 1895-1910.

These diaries were meticulously edited by R. F. Christian so as to reflect Tolstoy's preoccupations as a writer (his views on his own work and that of others), his development as a person and as a thinker, and his attitudes to contemporary social problems, rural life, industrialisation, education, and later, to religious and spiritual questions.

Christian introduces each period with a brief and informative summary of the main biographical details of Tolstoy's life.

The result is a unique portrait of a great writer in the variegation of his everyday existence. 'As a picture of the turbulent Russian world which Tolstoy inhabited these diaries are incomparable - the raw stuff not yet processed into art.' Anthony Burgess'A model of scholarship, one of the most important books to be published in recent years.' A.

N. Wilson, Spectator
