This is an ambitious narrative poem by a young writer who has previously published one book of short poems. Unlike most narrative poems it is vivid and readable. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ THE AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF COUNTESS SOPHIE TOLSTOI. With Introduction and Notes by VASILII SPIRIDONOV. Translated from the Russian by S. S. KOTELIANSKY and LEONARD WOOLF. 4s. net. This autobiography was written by Tolstoi’s wife in 1913 and is extraordinarily interesting, not only “as a human document,” but in the light which it throws upon Tolstoi’s life and teaching and on those relations with his wife and family which led up to his “going away.” Countess Tolstoi wrote it at the request of the late S. A. Vengerov, a well-known Russian critic. He intended to publish it, but this intention was not carried out owing to the war and his death. The MS. was discovered recently among his papers and has just been published in Russia. It deals with the whole of Tolstoi’s married life, but in particular with the differences which arose between him and his wife over his doctrines and his desire to put them into practice in their way of living. It also gives an account of Tolstoi’s “going away” and death. The book is published with an introduction by Vasilii Spiridonov and notes and appendices which contain information regarding Tolstoi’s life and teachings not before available to English readers. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ _PREVIOUS PUBLICATIONS_ CLIVE BELL Poems. 2s. 6d. net.
