EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures Leo Tolstoy, the renowned Russian author and philosopher, in 1926. With a long beard and wearing an overcoat and hat, Tolstoy exudes wisdom and intellect. As one of the greatest novelists in history, he is celebrated for his masterpieces War and Peace and Anna Karenina. However, it was not only through his fiction that Tolstoy left a lasting impact on the world. Tolstoy's moral philosophy centered around non-violent resistance, which he explored in works like The Kingdom of God is Within You. These ideas would later inspire influential figures such as Mahatma Gandhi and Martin Luther King Jr. , making Tolstoy's influence extend far beyond literature. The print also provides insight into Tolstoy's nomadic lifestyle. Standing with a staff by his side, he embodies the image of a traveler or wanderer. This aspect of his life reflects his rejection of material possessions and societal norms. Published in An Outline of Christianity: The Story of Our Civilization (Volume 4), edited by RG Parsons and AS Peake, this photograph serves as a visual testament to Tolstoy's enduring legacy. It reminds us not only of his literary brilliance but also his profound impact on philosophy, social justice movements, and human consciousness as a whole.
