Book Description
Excerpt from Tolstoi, the Teacher T is with a certain degree of suspicion and mistrust that men of science extend the hand of welcome to those who are outside their own circle. They are right in adopting this attitude. Their mistrust increases when directed against a man who has'given proof of his powers in the realms of imagination, impulse and passion. This also is justified. All the same, the domains of the human mind are not separated from one another by water tight compartments; everything interpene trates and overlaps. The trinity of eclectics sensibility, intelligence and will, has long ago become antiquated; no' longer is it necessary to prove the inadequacy of this method. Too frequently, however, do we still reason as though the mind were made up of separate partitions. Now this is a grave error.

Book Description
Excerpt from Tolstoy as a Schoolmaster Among the literary projects which Count Tolstoy is said to have on his hands is a book on education. It is to be hoped that he may be able to write it, as the subject is one in which he has been interested for the past forty years and it was as a school master in his native village as long ago as 1862 that he first gave Signs Of many Of his present ideas on government and society. The serfs had just been freed, and, as a good landlord, Tolstoy set to work at the education Of the peasant children so that they might be fitted for their newly acquired freedom. He established a school with three or four teachers beside himself. There were in all about forty pupils, including half a dozen girls.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Life and Teaching of Leo Tolstoy: A Book of Extracts With an Introduction Being Of whom we catch glimpses in his early writings, before he was well out Of the nursery, his precocious and morbid mind was from the fif's't burdened with the inheritance Of a decrepit aristocracy. Compare the environment of his childhood with that Of the southern states of America about the same time, and you realise how badly Russia has been injured by the success Of the Tsars in repressing all independence and originality in the small noble class. Tolstoy is one Of many 'repentant noblemen' in Russia. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
Excerpt from Leo Tolstoy I am eager to help them, that they may share with me the inspirations of his truly Christian teaching, for I believe that Tolstoy has laid firmer grasp on the ethical principles of the Gospel than any other living man. He has striven with heroic courage and patience not only to preach the doctrine but to live the life, in the spirit of Amiel's great simple saying, Be that which you would make others.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Last Days of Tolstoy Some Of us in Great Britain feel that the time has come when it is highly desirable that we should hear the story of the tragedy which beset the last years of Leo Tolstoy's life, from one who was in its scene. We can understand and respect your reticence up to this point. But now so many rumours, derogatory to Tolstoy, and therefore likely to diminish the weight of his teaching, are spreading over the world, and seem to be the subject Of a very active propaganda even in this country.

Book Description
This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1904 edition. Excerpt: ... CHAPTER IV SCIENCE, FALSE AND TRUE Work for science? But the word science is a term so vague and ill-defined that what some people consider to be science is considered by others to be utterly futile, and this is the case not only with outsiders but even with the priests of science themselves. While those savants who favour a spiritual explanation of life look upon jurisprudence, philosophy, and even theology as the most necessary and important of sciences, the Positivists consider these very sciences as childish twaddle devoid of scientific value; and vice versd, sociology, which the Positivists look upon as the science of sciences, is considered by the theologians, philosophers, and spiritualists as an arbitrary and useless collection of observations and assertions. But more than this, even in one and the same branch of philosophy or natural science each system has ardent defenders and equally ardent detractors, equally competent, yet holding diametrically opposite opinions. Finally, does not each year witness fresh scientific discoveries, which, after exciting the wonder of the mediocrities of the whole world, and bringing fame and fortune to their inventors, are eventually found to be nothing but ridiculous errors even by those who promulgated them? Just as it was not exactly in the creation of the world in six days, the wound-curing serpent, etc., that the Hebrew believed, but rather in the infallibility of his priests, and hence in the truth of their assertions, even so the great majority of the cultured people of our time believe neither in the formation of the world by rotation, nor in heredity, nor in comma-bacilli, but in the infallibility of their lay priests who are called scientists, who affirm whatever they pretend to know...
