The Life of Tolstoy: First Fifty Years

By: Maude, Aylmer

"The reason I have written this work is because so many among us are interested in Tolstoy and so few seem to understand him. It would seem therefore that an English Life of Tolstoy is need-ed, and having lived in Russia for twenty-three years, known Tolstoy well for several years, visit-ed him frequently in Moscow, and stayed with him repeatedly at Y snaya Poly na, I am perhaps as well qualified as any one to write it, especially as I have long made a careful study of his views. My wife and I have translated several of his works, have known people closely connected with him, and some ten years ago we took part in an unsuccessful 'Tolstoy' Colony; besides which I went to Canada at his wish to make arrangements for the Doukhob r migration, of which I subse-quently wrote the history."
