Talks with Tolstoy,

by Aleksandr Borisovich Goldenweizer, S.S. Koteliansky (Translator), Virginia Woolf (Translator)

As a frequent visitor at the Tolstoy home for the last fifteen years of Tolstoy's life, A.B. Goldenweizer was in a unique position to keep a record of Tolstoy's conversations. The result is a book containing reflections and aphorisms on such matters as art, religion, politics, family life, sex and revolution, which remain in memory long after they have been read. They are as spare and direct as the old Tolstoy himself, dispensing with everything unnecessary and artificial.
