Excerpt from Tolstoy on Art The title of this book calls for some explanation. What is of value in it all belongs to, or derives from, Tolstoy. Why then is it not issued simply as a translation of Tolstoy's essays on art? The case is this: When Tolstoy's What is Art? (his chief work on the subject) appeared in 1898, it gave rise to extensive controversy. Several critics maintained that his propositions were incomprehensible or ridiculous. I...

Excerpt from The Life of Tolstoy: Later YearsIH this edition I have made a few slight alterations in the text, and have added an account of Tolstoy's last illness and death.
