L.N. Tolstoy and V.G. Chertkov

In 1879 Lev Tolstoy, being at the height of literary recognition and personal prosperity, experienced an emotional crisis, which turned his life inside out. From that time on he tried to look for new paths and devoted the last 30 years of the life to this search. His main companion in this search was Vladimir Grigorievich Chertkov, acquaintance with whom had begun in 1883. Their emotional bond and mutual understanding developed into close long-term friendship. It seems the value and importance of Muratov's book, based on the correspondence and diaries of Tolstoy and Chertkov, lays in the fact that it provides us with an inside look into history of this spiritual search.Muratov, M. is the author of 'L.N. Tolstoy and V.G. Chertkov' with ISBN 9781557791382 and ISBN 1557791384.
