Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from How Count L. N. Tolstoy Lives and Works About four o´clock in the afternoon, in the winter of 1892, I was sitting with my friends the A.´s, who had arrived in Moscow on the previous evening from their estate in the south. Several other guests besides myself were seated at the tea table engaged in a lively conversation about one of Lyeff Tolstoy´s latest works. Out of doors a fine snow was falling and in the room the twilight was gathering. Just as the discussion had reached its height, a gaunt old man, of medium stature and with the typical face of the Russian peasant, entered the room. He wore a short, sheepskin coat and tall felt boots. A.´s he entered he said, "Good-afternoon," removed his felt cap, and began to unwind from his throat a woolen scarf. From the table where we sat, we could not see the door plainly, and the A.s stared with curiosity and surprise at the newcomer. Suddenly the hostess´s face beamed with delight, and she said, in a drawling voice: "Lyeff Nikolaevitch !how do you do?" All rose to their feet. It was Count L. N. Tolstoy. He untied his scarf, and, with a brisk, youthful movement, threw off his fur coat, casting sharp glances about as he did so in search of a place to lay it. I beheld L. N. Tolstoy for the first time, and, involuntarily, riveted my eyes upon him. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
