The Tolstoys' Correspondence with N. N. Strakhov

Edited and introduced by Andrew Donskov

Correspondence compiled by L. D. Gromova and T. G. Nikiforova

Here published for the first time is the correspondence between the Tolstoys (Leo and his wife, Sofia) and their editorial assistant, philosopher and literary critic, Nikolaj Strakhov. These 125 letters (38 between Strakhov and Leo Tolstoy, 1894-96, as well as 87 between Strakhov and Sofia Tolstoy, 1872-95) offer new insights not only into the publication and re-publication during his lifetime of a number of Leo Tolstoy's writings, but also into the Tolstoys' personal lives, their thoughts on their family, and the experiences they willingly shared with one of their closest friends.
