The Death of Ivan Ilyich and Other Stories / Leo N. Tolstoy

Public ISBD Titre : The Death of Ivan Ilyich and Other Stories Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Leo N. Tolstoy, Auteur ; Andrew Kahn, Auteur ; Nicolas Pasternak Slater, Auteur Editeur : Oxford [United Kingdom] : Oxford university press Année de publication : 2015 Collection : Oxford World's Classics Importance : 256 p. Format : 19.3 x 13.21 x 1.52 centimetres (0.18 kg) ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-19-966988-2 Note générale : 'no one pitied him as he would have liked to be pitied' As Ivan Ilyich lies dying he begins to re-evaluate his life, searching for meaning that will make sense of his sufferings. In 'The Death of Ivan Ilyich' and the other works in this volume, Tolstoy conjures characters who, tested to the limit, reveal glorious and unexpected reserves of courage or baseness of a near inhuman kind. Two vivid parables and 'The Forged Coupon', a tale of criminality, explore class relations after the emancipation of the serfs in 1861 and the connection between an ethical life and worldly issues. In 'Master and Workman' Tolstoy creates one of his most gripping dramas about human relationships put to the test in an extreme situation. 'The Death of Ivan Ilyich' is an existential masterpiece, a biting satire that recounts with extraordinary power the final illness and death of a bourgeois lawyer. In his Introduction Andrew Kahn explores Tolstoy's moral concerns and the stylistic features of these late stories, sensitively translated by Nicolas Pasternak Slater. ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford World's Classics has made available the widest range of literature from around the globe. Each affordable volume reflects Oxford's commitment to scholarship, providing the most accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable features, including expert introductions by leading authorities, helpful notes to clarify the text, up-to-date bibliographies for further study, and much more.

War and peace / Leo N. Tolstoy

Public ISBD Titre : War and peace Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Leo N. Tolstoy ; Rosemary Edmonds Editeur : London [England] : Penguin Books Année de publication : 1982 Collection : Penguin classics Importance : 1443 p. Présentation : ill.,couv.en coul Format : 20 cm ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-14-044417-9 Note générale : Reprinted with revisions 1978 ; reissued in one volume 1982. Langues : Anglais Catégories : LITTERATURE ET LANGUE ANGLAISE:429 Old english ; LITTERATURE ET LANGUE ANGLAISE:828 English literature Résumé : Epic historical novel by Leo Tolstoy, originally published as Voyna i mir in 1865-69. This panoramic study of early 19th-century Russian society, noted for its mastery of realistic detail and variety of psychological analysis, is generally regarded as one of the world's greatest novels. War and Peace is primarily concerned with the histories of five aristocratic families--particularly the Bezukhovs, the Bolkonskys, and the Rostovs--the members of which are portrayed against a vivid background of Russian social life during the war against Napoleon (1805-14). The theme of war, however, is subordinate to the story of family existence, which involves Tolstoy's optimistic belief in the life-asserting pattern of human existence. The heroine, Natasha Rostova, for example, reaches her greatest fulfillment through her marriage to Pierre Bezukhov and her motherhood. The novel also sets forth a theory of history, concluding that there is a minimum of free choice; all is ruled by an inexorable historical determinism. War and peace [texte imprimé] / Leo N.

What is art? / Leo N. Tolstoy

Public ISBD Titre : What is art? Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Leo N. Tolstoy Editeur : London [England] : Penguin Books Année de publication : 1995 Importance : [xxvi], 201 p. Présentation : couv. ill. en coul. Format : 20 cm ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-14-044642-5 Langues : Anglais Catégories : LITTERATURE ET LANGUE ANGLAISE:429 Old english ; LITTERATURE ET LANGUE ANGLAISE:828 English literature Mots-clés : Visual arts Résumé : During the decades of his world fame as sage and preacher as well as author of War and Peace and Anna Karenin, Tolstoy wrote prolifically in a series of essays and polemics on issues of morality, social justice and religion. These culminated in What is Art?, published in 1898. Although Tolstoy perceived the question of art to be a religious one, he considered and rejected the idea that art reveals and reinvents through beauty. The works of Dante, Michelangelo, Shakespeare, Beethoven, Baudelaire and even his own novels are condemned in the course of Tolstoy's impassioned and iconoclastic redefinition of art as a force for good, for the progress and improvement of mankind.In his illuminating preface Richard Pevear considers What is Art? in relation to the problems of faith and doubt, and the spiritual anguish and fear of death which preoccupied Tolstoy in the last decades of his life.
