Tolstoy: The Man is a biography of the renowned Russian writer Leo Tolstoy, written by Edward Alfred Steiner and originally published in 1903. The book provides a detailed account of Tolstoy’s life, from his childhood in an aristocratic family to his later years as a social and religious reformer. Steiner explores Tolstoy’s literary works, including his famous novels War and Peace and Anna Karenina, and analyzes their themes and messages. He also delves into Tolstoy’s personal life, including his marriage to Sophia Behrs and his spiritual journey towards a simpler, more communal way of life. Through interviews with Tolstoy’s friends and family members, as well as extensive research into his writings and correspondence, Steiner paints a vivid picture of the man behind the literary genius. He highlights Tolstoy’s social and political activism, particularly his advocacy for pacifism and his critiques of the Russian Orthodox Church and the ruling class. Overall, Tolstoy: The Man is a comprehensive and engaging biography that offers a deep insight into the life and legacy of one of the most influential writers of the 19th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
