In his introduction to the present volume, Leo Islavin states: "This selection of the most striking letters from Count Leo Tolstoy's correspondence with his cousin and intimate friend Countess Alexandra Tolstoy needs no commentary. It reveals the life and character of the famous Russian writer in a new light. In these letters, written during forty-six years - from 1857 to 1903 - we observe the incessant inner workings of Leo Tolstoy's complex and deeply artistic nature, forever striving for idealism and perfection."
