Reviews

This book provides new revolutionary approaches to exploring Tolstoy's fiction...It represents one of the first studies dedicated to the problem of parallels between Tolstoy's life, thought, and writing and Hindu philosophical system, and to the broader issue of Tolstoy's relationship with India. (Professor Tatyana Novikov, University of Nebraska-Omahas.) Her monograph is a significant contribution to Tolstoy-India scholarship. It reflects, in a way that is unprecedented, the very special place that India with its religions, philosophies, and epic tradition occupies in Tolstoy's spiritual universe. (Dr Galina Alekseeva, Head, Academic Research Department, State Museum-Estate of Leo Tolstoy at Yasnaya Poliana) The author breaks genuinely new ground in this monograph, bringing new Indian languages to bear in her research, and investigating local Indian archives and newspapers to a depth not before attempted in English scholarship. (Professor Caryl Emerson, Slavic Languages and Literature Department, Princeton University)
