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. But the reader should please bear in mind that all but the last two dozen pages of the book were written and published while Tolstoy was still alive.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
