Leo Tolstoy
John Bayley concentrates in this short introductory study on Tolstoy's two great works and the ancillary texts and tales that relate to them.
War and Peace
Reproduction of the original: War and Peace by Leo Tolstoi
Resurrection
Resurrection by Leo Tolstoy follows Prince Dmitri Ivanovich, a nobleman who seeks redemption after discovering that Katerina Maslova, a woman he seduced and abandoned years earlier, is now a prisoner wrongfully accused of murder. Overwhelmed with guilt, Dmitri dedicates himself to helping her, following her through the injustices of the Russian legal and penal systems. Maslova, initially resentful, gradually experiences her own spiritual awakening. While she ultimately rejects Dmitri’s marriage proposal, Dmitri finds purpose in his commitment to justice and moral transformation. The novel critiques societal hypocrisy and emphasizes themes of redemption and spiritual renewal.

A Calendar of Wisdom
This collection of daily thoughts to nourish the soul from the world’s sacred texts by Leo Tolstoy feature gems of inspiration and wisdom—author Thomas Keneally calls this book “transcendent, and that we are grateful he lived long enough to endow us with his grand inheritance.” This is the first-ever English-language edition of the book Leo Tolstoy considered to be his most important contribution to humanity, the work of his life's last years. Widely read in pre-revolutionary Russia, banned and forgotten under Communism; and recently rediscovered to great excitement, A Calendar of Wisdom is a day-by-day guide that illuminates the path of a life worth living with a brightness undimmed by time. Unjustly censored for nearly a century, it deserves to be placed with the few books in our history that will never cease teaching us the essence of what is important in this world.

Yet among literary critics and rival writers, it has become a commonplace to disparage Tolstoy's “thought” while praising his “art.” In this Very S...

Detailed documentation of Tolstoy's life.
Leo Tolstoy
Over a hundred years ago something outrageous happened in Yasnaya Polyana. Count Leo Tolstoy, a famous author eighty two years of age at the time, took off, destination unknown. Since then, circumstances surrounding the writer’s whereabouts during his final days and his eventual death bred many myths and legends. Russian popular writer and reporter Pavel Basinsky picks into archives and presents his interpretation of facts prior to Leo Tolstoy’s mysterious disappearance. Basinsky follows Leo Tolstoy throughout his life up to the very end. Reconstructing the story from historical documents, he creates a visionary account of events that led to the Tolstoy family drama. Flight from Paradise is of special interest to international researchers of Leo Tolstoy’s life and work, and is recommended to a wider audience worldwide.
