The featured image,  Master and Man by Charles Copeland, is the frontispiece from Volume XVI of The Novels and Other Works of Lyof N. Tolstoi. I am on page 70 of this volume, that is, I have finished Master and Man and am up to Chapter IV of The Kreutzer Sonata. I had wondered in previous blogs if I… Continue reading Tolstoy Journal, August 18, 2017: “And again he hears the summons of that one who had before called him.”

The featured image is of a book I found at Goodwill where I had dropped off two bags of books for a donation. Lo and behold! This seems more manageable than the other book on this topic at our local library; might actually read this one. I have caught up on my reading, at least… Continue reading Tolstoy Journal, August 17, 2017: “Expect nothing!”

And I was surprised to find, reading a selection from Master and Man, that the ending was not as unrealistic as I thought, not as sentimental. I have to withhold final judgement because I did not read the… Continue reading Tolstoy Journal, May 24, 2017: The Contagion of Newspapers

The Last Station: A Novel of Tolstoy’s Last Year by Jay Parini is today’s travel book, though I will be quoting Roland Blythe again. This novel was made into a movie which I would like to see. Last night I read up to page 230 of Volume V or Chapter XIII of Part Twelve of… Continue reading Tolstoy Journal, March 15, 2017:”Our happiness is like water in a net”
