Klappentext zu „A Calendar of Wisdom “
Over the last fifteen years of his life, Tolstoy collected and published the maxims of some of the world's greatest masters of philosophy, religion and literature, adding his own contributions to various questions that preoccupied him in old age, such as faith and existence, as well as matters of everyday life.Banned in Russia under Communism, A Calendar of Wisdom was Tolstoy's last major work, and one of his most popular both during and after his lifetime. This new translation by Roger Cockrell will offer today's generation of readers the chance to discover, day by day, these edifying and carefully selected pearls of wisdom.
Autoren-Porträt von Leo N. Tolstoi
Leo Tolstoy (1828-1910) is one of Russia's greatest novelists and a social dramatist who rejected his upbringing as a member of the nobility. He regarded the theatre in particular as a means of education the populace away from the moral degeneracy, brought about by the squalor of Russian peasant life. Roger Cockrell is Honorary Fellow in Russian at the University of Exeter, UK. His publciations include a translation of Fadeev's the Rout, also in this series; an edition of Bulgakov's White Guard and (as co-author) The Voice of a Giant: Essays on Seven Russian Prose Classics.

Pressezitat
Someone who can see so much and so fully does not need to invent anything; someone who observes so poetically does not need to compose anything. For Tolstoy beauty and truth are one and the same thing. Stefan Zweig
