A. For starters Leo Tolstoy was world famous for his epic novels "War and Peace" and "Anna Karenina." He was an important figure politically within Russia and around the world for his outright condemnation of the tsarist regime, the Russian Orthodox Church, the double standards of society, the treatment of the poor and was above all an outspoken pacifist. The majority of his life's work was actually devoted to treatises on society.

How does A.E. Housman's "To An Athlete Dying Young" relate to Leo Tolstoy's "How Much Land Does a Man Need"?
Q. You have seen British writers questioning the benefits of nineteenth-century industrialization and modernization. Does this questioning change in a Russian setting? In what ways does Tolstoy share or extend the British writers' debate about progress?

A. Some Reflections: Tolstoy's story generally echoes/extends Housman's main concerns and share in the debate at least if one were to read his story in terms of modernization and its avaricious undercurrents. "To an Athlete" is a dramatic monologue poem written by A.E. Housman. It is so heartfelt and meaningful. In the first stanza he writes about the thrill, honor, and devotion of a young athlete. All of the town respects and appreciates his many athletic talents, he is truly the overall champion. As the poem moves on to the second and third stanza's the poem moves through the athletes years and as he becomes ill in his health. The poem in whole is a "simile" of sporting events comparing life to a game. The runners in the race become… [cont.]

A. After some restless and aimless wandering he headed for a convent where his sister was the mother superior but had to stop at Astapovo junction. There he was laid up in the stationmaster's house and died, apparently of cold, on November 20, 1910. He was buried in a simple peasant's grave in a wood 500 meters from Yasnaya Polyana. Thousands of peasants lined the streets at his funeral.

Are there any surviving photographs of Leo Tolstoy dying?
Q. According to my English book he died at a train station "surrounded by photographers and reporters". I think that implied that people were taking pictures of him, and I would think that someone would want to really record such a monumentous event. Are there any photos that you know of? Have any survived? Were they suppressed? Did any exist in the first place? Why wouldn't anyone want to preserve such a thing?

Q. As in Western civilization, is Russia considered part of it?
Asked by Dorian - Sat Dec 6 20:05:51 2008 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments
A. I would say no. Tolstoy takes great pains to delve deeply into the Russian psyche and demonstrate just how different Russian psychology and cultural norms are from those who live in Western European countries. In "War and Peace", for example, one of the main characters, Pierre, is seen early on as having been educated in the West and having strong Western ideals, but near the end of the book, once Pierre, having risen to nobility, has been captured by Napoleon's troops and shares in the terrible deprivations of his fellow "lesser" Russians, he discards all of his adopted Western ideals and revels in becoming a true Russian in his native land. His incessant search for happiness and self-acceptance finally comes to an end. Tolstoy also takes… [cont.]

What does this quote mean - by Leo Tolstoy?
Q. "When the life of people is unmoral and their relations are not based on love, but on egoism, then all technical improvements, the increase of man's power over nature, steam, electricity, the telegraph, every machine, gunpowder, and dynamite, produce the impression of dangerous toys placed in the hands of children."
Asked by MELLY - Wed Apr 16 09:37:45 2008 - - 5 Answers - 0 Comments
A. Children are often moved by ego to do the things they do -- fight, refuse to share, disobey parents, etc. If adults are moved only by ego then they will behave like children, only with bigger, more dangerous toys. A moral life based on love means choosing what is best for all, not just on what a person wants "right now", is critical to living well.

How does "How Much Land Does A Man Need?" by Leo Tolstoy function as an allegory?
Q. How does "How Much Land Does A Man Need?" by Leo Tolstoy function as an allegory?
Asked by merm212129 - Sat Aug 2 16:46:44 2008 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments
A. Allegory is a form of extended metaphor, in which objects, persons, and actions in a narrative, are equated with the meanings that lie outside the narrative itself. The underlying meaning has moral, social, religious, or political significance, and characters are often personifications of abstract ideas as charity, greed, or envy. Thus an allegory is a story with two meanings, a literal meaning and a symbolic meaning. In how much land does a man need, the symbolic meaning, is that greed will kill you. The literal meaning is that when we die, we only really need six feet, and if we get cremated or other we don't need any at all.
