Opis

Tolstoy's fame as one of the world's greatest novelists has never been in doubt, but the importance of his views on the social, moral and religious issues of his time is not so widely recognised. This study presents an introduction to the historical and cultural background of Tolstoy's lifetime, then going on to consider the major events of his developing personality as a writer and reformer.
