EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Leo Tolstoy, the renowned Russian author and philosopher, in 1926. Widely regarded as one of the greatest novelists of all time, Tolstoy's masterpieces War and Peace and Anna Karenina have left an indelible mark on literature. However, his influence extends far beyond fiction writing. Tolstoy's moral philosophy centered around non-violent resistance, a concept he explored in works like The Kingdom of God is Within You. These ideas would go on to inspire prominent figures of the twentieth century such as Mahatma Gandhi and Martin Luther King Jr. , highlighting Tolstoy's profound impact on social change. The photograph originates from An Outline of Christianity: The Story of Our Civilization, volume 4: Christianity and Modern Thought. Edited by RG Parsons and AS Peake, this publication was released by the esteemed Waverley Book Club in London during 1926. In this colorized black-and-white print, we see Tolstoy standing confidently with a staff in hand. His rugged appearance reflects his nomadic spirit while his iconic beard adds to his intellectual allure. Dressed in traditional nineteenth-century attire consisting of an overcoat and hat, Tolstoy embodies both the image of a traveler exploring new horizons and that of a distinguished writer deeply rooted in Russian culture. Count Lev Nikolayevich Tolstoy remains an influential figure whose contributions span multiple disciplines - from literature to philosophy - leaving an enduring legacy for generations to come. This remarkable portrait captures not only his physical presence but also hints at the depth of wisdom contained within him.
