Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Life of Tolstoy: Later Years In 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. With reference to the statement of his religious views he wrote to me: ´I have just read your presentation of my religious views, and have found it quite good. Here and there I have pencilled remarks on it. It is for you to decide whether you agree with them and accept them.´ They were all adopted. ´For my own part, I repeat that the presentation of the whole is very good, and I heartily thank you for it.´ That the events of his life as set forth in this volume are accurate, is guaranteed by the fact that his wife, the Countess S. A. Tolstoy, most kindly rendered me the very valuable assistance of reading and correcting it, chapter by chapter. The material collected in the Russian edition of Birukof´s Biography of Tolstoy (which as yet reaches only to the year 1884) was of great use to me in writing this book. On several important matters our conclusions differ, but that in no way diminishes my obligation to him. Of the other numerous sources from which I have drawn, acknowledgment is made at the end of each chapter.
