Leo Tolstoy the Grand Mujik
A Study in Personal Evolution (Classic Reprint)
Description:... Excerpt from Leo Tolstoy the Grand Mujik: A Study in Personal Evolution Russian nation. To exercise an influence on the Russian reader, says one of the best Russian his torians of literature (s. Venguerov), the writer must be, in the first place, one of deep conviction. This feature of striving after goodness and truth, and making love the predominant key of life, Mr. Perris traces throughout the literary and social career of Leo Tolstoy, the grand mujz'k as he calls him, and he insists on the English studying and learning to love and admire the Russian nation in Leo Tolstoy. This is a, happy way of putting the subject before his readers, because if John Bull can be induced to believe that he may learn something from the Russian nation it may be achieved only by his appreciation of the acknowledged grandeur and genius of a repre sentative of that nation.
