COUNT TOLSTOI'S WORKS.
The demand for these Russian stories has but just fairly begun; but it is a
literary movement more widespread, more intense, than anything this country
has probably seen within the past quarter of a century.--_Boston
Traveller._
ANNA KARÉNINA. 12mo, $1.75.
"Will take rank among the great works of fiction of the
age."--_Portland Transcript._
"As you read on, you say not, 'This is _like_ life' but
'This _is_ life.'"--_W. D. Howells._
IVÁN ILYITCH, AND OTHER STORIES. 12mo, $1.25.
"No living author surpasses him, and only one or two
approach him, in the power of picturing not merely places
but persons, with minute and fairly startling
fidelity."--_Congregationalist._
"Both the personal character and the literary art of Tolstoi
are manifested with simpler and clearer power in these
writings than in his novels, and the book becomes necessary
to an adequate understanding of Tolstoi's mission and
work."--_Globe._
CHILDHOOD, BOYHOOD, YOUTH. With Portrait of the Author.
12mo, $1.50.
A series of reminiscences and traditions of the author's
early life.
"These exquisite sketches belong to the literature which
never grows old, which lives forever in the heart of
humanity as a cherished revelation."--_Literary World._
MY CONFESSION AND THE SPIRIT OF CHRIST'S TEACHING. 12mo,
$1.00.
An autobiographical account of the changes in the author's
religious opinions, and the various causes by which it was
brought about; all of which is told in the most delightful
manner, and will enable the reader to understand more
clearly his "My Religion," which is the sequel to this
volume.
"Like the writings of Bunyan and Thomas à Kempis, Tolstoi's
Confession will be read eagerly and become spiritual tonic
and daily food to little children in the Kingdom of Christ,
whatever be their 'church,' tongue, or nation."--_Critic_,
New York.
MY RELIGION. A companion book to My Confession. 12mo, $1.00.
"Should go to every household where the New Testament is
read. * * * Every man whose eyes are lifted above the manger
and the trough should take 'My Religion' to his home. Let
him read it with no matter what hostile prepossessions, let
him read it to confute it, but still read, and 'he that is
able to receive it, let him receive it.'"--_New York Sun._
