The Diaries of Leo Tolstoy
Book • 1917
The diaries of Leo Tolstoy are a comprehensive and intimate record of his life, covering a period of sixty-four years.
They were written from 1847 until his death and include his thoughts on morality, his surroundings, and the progress of his writings.
The early diaries, particularly those from his youth (1847-1861), reveal Tolstoy's dual personality as both a pleasure-seeker and a moralist.
These diaries were edited by his friend Vladimir Tchertkoff and translated from Russian by C. J. Hogarth and A. Sirnis.
They provide a unique insight into Tolstoy's spiritual conflicts, his attempts at self-regulation, and the evolution of his philosophical and moral beliefs.
