Editorial Review Book Description In the years before Leo Tolstoy wrote War and Peace, the great Russian writer founded and ran his own school on his estate at Yasnaya Polyana. Brimming with progressive ideas on schooling, he undertook to teach the peasant children at Yasnaya Polyana reading, history, arithmetic, and notably, imaginative writing. The school was a paradise for Tolstoy, and he published many articles about his teaching experiences during these years. This new collection features the most important of these articles--among them the famous essay, "Are the Peasant Children to Learn to Write from Us, or Are We to Learn from the Peasant Children?"--and two short stories by Tolstoy's students. Tolstoy as Teacher also includes an introductory essay that examines the role of the school in Tolstoy's life and work, an annotated bibliography, and an essay with ideas on how to use Tolstoy's fiction to inspire students to write imaginatively. This book will surprise and delight writers, teachers of imaginati!ve writing from elementary to college level, teachers of English and other subjects, and anyone interested in education or in Tolstoy's work and thought. |

A masterpiece in both scope and detail.........
The book tells the story, but the mystery remains
tolstoy reader
Enlightening!
Overly detailed and opinionated However, taken as a book to be read, not referenced, it has serious flaws. The main one, which I find inexcusable, is Troyat's comments throughout the book "explaining" Tolstoy to the reader, and being shocked at Tolstoy's inconsistencies. Troyat will show us a scene where Tolstoy lays down a plan for virtuous conduct in his diary, then breaks his own code. Troyat exclaims: "Paradox! Tolstoy is a strange man, breaking his own code". Well, Mr. Troyat, don't we all? Another related problem with this book is excessive documentation. We are witness to too many changes of opinion in Tolstoy. For, say, his doubts about his feelings for Sofya Bers, this is revealing, but we are subjected to the same ceremony for each acquaintance made by Tolstoy. The point was well taken from the beginning: Tolstoy changed his opinion of himself and others very often. And again, I don't see this as strange: many people are like that. But by the fourth time I saw Tolstoy meet someone, then write on successive days "Excellent" "Superficial" "Vain" "Far superior to me" etc. I was about to give up on the book. In contrast, we don't see enough of what others thought of Tolstoy, and that is a pity, especially since the book's excessive focus on Tolstoy's inner struggle makes it grey and humorless. To sum it up: can serve well as a reference book, but not as a novel. Read Tolstoy himself, he is more revealing. ... Read more |

Stimulating reading from the whole of Tolstoy's life First, the caveat.If you already own a lot of Tolstoy's short fiction, you should preview this book to decide whether it offers enough new material to warrant buying.This anthology includes a number of familiar classics (mentioned in the other reviews), but you may decide it's still worth purchasing for the less common and early works. Now for the complaints._Kreutzer_Sonata_, or _Father_Sergius_?If I had to make an either-or choice, I think I would choose _Father_Sergius_.The editor chose _Kreutzer_Sonata_.A defensible choice, but not my preference. A more serious complaint I have regards an omission.I would think that a Tolstoy anthology with "courage" and "conflict" in the subtitle would have to include _Hadji_Murat_.Its absence seems an oversight to me. Despite these minor criticisms, I'm still giving this collection 5 stars on the merits of the works themselves.You will never regret time spent reading Tolstoy.
A Good Collection of Tolstoy's Career Some of hisgreatest short works are here."The Recollections of aBilliard-Marker" is one of the early writings, and one of the betdescriptions of the effects of addiction (in this case an addiction togambling) I have ever read.The Sevestopol Sketches (there are three ofthem) give one of the closest descriptions of men in war possible (thedefense of Sevestopol during the Crimean War, which fell to the British andFrench).A group of religious parables."The Death of IvanIlyitch" is a fantastic description of the internal battles waged whenfighting with death.And "The Kreutzer Sonata" is a discussionof the place of men and women in society that should be required reading byanyone who thinks they understand the opposite sex. There is enough inthese stories to give the reader a chance to understand the author beforeattacking the larger and more famous major works.
Masterful Fiction by the Master of Fiction These stories span aperiod of over forty years, from "The Invaders" (1842) to"Walk in the Light While There is Still Light" (1893).We get achance to not only read great stories, but to see the growth of a talentthat started out better than most ever achieve. "Recollections of aBilliard-Marker" (1855) is a less well known example of Tolstoy'sability to show the degeneration of a character.In this case it is byaddiction to gambling that destroys a man, and the boy who works in abilliard hall who narrates.If this was the only story in the book, itwould be worth buying, but it is not.It's not even the best onehere. Has there ever been a better description of men at war than"The Sevastapol Letters"?All three are here.Has anyone caughtloneliness and despair better than "The Death of Ivan Ilyitch"? It's here. No one catches class difference in fewer words.No onedescribes the ways we look at each other, the words we use, the words wedon't use, better than this man. Since this is a foreign novel, one mustalso mention the translation (by Isabel F. Hapsgood for the SevestapolLetters, and Nathan Haskell Dole for everything else).They are good, theyallow the language the feeling of another time, while allowing it to soundalso current and easily readable. A great way to cover much of the shortfiction of one of the greatest fiction writers of all time. ... Read more |

Editorial Review Book Description The brilliant shorter novels of Tolstoy, including The Death of Ivan Ilych and Family Happiness, collected and reissued with a beautiful updated design. Of all Russian writers Leo Tolstoy is probably the best known to the Western world, largely because of War and Peace, his epic in prose, and Anna Karenina, one of the most splendid novels in any language. But during his long lifetime Tolstoy also wrote enough shorter works to fill many volumes. Here reprinted in one volume are his eight finest short novels, together with "Alyosha the Pot", the little tale that Prince Mirsky described as "a masterpiece of rare perfection."

Simply Put: An Outstanding Collection
Not as great!
Death of Ivan Ilych is probably the best thing Tolstoy ever wrote
worth reading

Editorial Review Book Description Fascinated by the simple charm and fresh innocence with which the children of his schools told stories, Tolstoy began writing about his own childhood, emulating the uncomplicated narrative style and disarming directness of the tales told by the children of his acquaintance.After completing WAR AND PEACE, he incorporated these stories in a series of easy readers.Known as THE ABC BOOK (Azbuka) and THE NEW ABC BOOK (Novaia Azbuka), these marvelous readers were widely adopted in Russia and were still in use in the Soviet era. The tales and fables in this charmingly illustrated volume come mainly from these two well-loved primers.Part 1 consists of stories about Tolstoy's own childhood, all told with beautiful simplicity.Part 2 contains Tolstoy's free adaptations of fables from Aesop and from Hindu tradition.Part 3 is devoted solely to his longest and most famous children's work, the fairy tale "Ivan the Fool and His Two Brothers." Never patronizing and often humorous, these small gems reveal Tolstoy's deep appreciation for and understanding of children's artistic and moral sensibilities. |
