Résumé

In "Tolstoy: What is Art? & Wherein is Truth in Art, " Leo Tolstoy delves into the profound relationship between art and morality, scrutinizing the purpose of creativity through a philosophical lens. Tolstoy's literary style is characterized by his meticulous clarity and fervent passion, blending narrative narratives with penetrating essays. Contextually, the work emerges during a period of intense introspection for Tolstoy, as he contemplates the societal implications of art and questions the prevailing aesthetic theories of his time, notably those of the Russian intelligentsia, thus establishing a new axis of artistic understanding centered on truth and emotional authenticity.
As one of the most significant figures in Russian literature, Tolstoy's life experiences'-ranging from his noble upbringing to his spiritual crises'-influenced his profound reflections on art. He sought to democratize art, making it accessible and relevant to all, often rooted in the themes of peasant life and existential inquiries. His philosophical evolution, particularly evident after his conversion in the late 19th century, compels readers to reconsider their own perceptions of beauty and morality.
This collection is recommended for anyone curious about the philosophical underpinnings of art as it challenges conventional notions of aesthetics. Readers will find Tolstoy's arguments both compelling and provocative, urging a reconsideration of the role of art in society and its potential for genuine human connection. In this enriched edition, we have carefully created added value for your reading experience: - An Introduction draws the threads together, discussing why these diverse authors and texts belong in one collection. - Historical Context explores the cultural and intellectual currents that shaped these works, offering insight into the shared (or contrasting) eras that influenced each writer. - A combined Synopsis (Selection) briefly outlines the key plots or arguments of the included pieces, helping readers grasp the anthology's overall scope without giving away essential twists. - A collective Analysis highlights common themes, stylistic variations, and significant crossovers in tone and technique, tying together writers from different backgrounds. - Reflection questions encourage readers to compare the different voices and perspectives within the collection, fostering a richer understanding of the overarching conversation.
