War and Peace
War and Peace is Tolstoy's vast meditation on history, freedom, and moral awakening, set against Napoleon's invasion of Russia and the intimate dramas of aristocratic families such as the Rostovs, Bolkonskys, and Bezukhovs. Blending domestic realism, battlefield panorama, philosophical essay, and spiritual bildungsroman, it redefines the nineteenth-century novel by refusing simple heroic causality and locating history in countless human choices. Leo graf Tolstoy, born into Russian nobility in 1828, brought to the work firsthand knowledge of aristocratic society, military life in the Caucasus and Crimea, and an increasingly urgent ethical imagination. His experiences as soldier, landowner, reformer, and religious seeker shaped a novel skeptical of power yet deeply attentive to conscience, family feeling, peasant life, and the ordinary acts by which people discover meaning. This edition is essential for readers who want not merely a grand historical narrative but a profound inquiry into how lives are made amid forces larger than the self. Patient, searching, and emotionally capacious, War and Peace rewards both first-time readers and seasoned scholars.

Resurrection
Leo Tolstoy was born in 1828 into Russian nobility. His start as a writer came in 1851, when he accompanied his brother to the Caucasus and spent four years in the army. His conduct on the battlefield was outstanding and in an 1851 letter (the same letter in which he first mentions Hadji Murad) he vowed to "assist with the aid of a cannon in destroying the predatory and turbulent Asiatics." He lived most of his life on the family estate he inherited, Yasnaya Polyana, south of Moscow, but at age eighty-two, he denounced his wealth and set out on the road as a poor wanderer.

What Is Art? + Wherein Is Truth in Art?
In What Is Art? and the companion inquiry Wherein Is Truth in Art?, Leo Tolstoy mounts one of the nineteenth century's most uncompromising attacks on aestheticism. Rejecting beauty, pleasure, and technical refinement as sufficient measures of artistic value, he defines art as the sincere transmission of feeling from creator to audience. Written in a lucid, polemical style rather than a systematic academic idiom, the work intervenes in debates shaped by Romantic genius, realism, religious ethics, and fin-de-siècle decadence, judging art by its moral intelligibility and human fellowship. Tolstoy wrote these essays after the spiritual crisis that transformed the author of War and Peace and Anna Karenina into a radical Christian moralist. His later life was marked by distrust of institutions, wealth, violence, and elite culture; accordingly, he scrutinizes Shakespeare, Wagner, church art, and fashionable criticism with the severity of a prophet. His own artistic greatness gives the argument its peculiar force: it is a master novelist questioning the civilization that canonized him. This volume is indispensable for readers interested in aesthetics, ethics, Russian literature, and the social purpose of art. Even where Tolstoy's judgments provoke resistance, his demand that art matter to ordinary human beings remains bracing and urgent.
