'A Possession for ever.' That is how Sir William Hayley described this two volume edition of Tolstoy's letters when it was first published in 1978. It well merits this accolade.Leo Tolstoy was unquestionably the most prolific letter-writer of all the great Russian novelists of the nineteenth-century. Over 8500 of his letters have been published. Professor Christian selected and translated 608 of them. As he explains, 'When I began to consider how many letters to translate and on what basis to select them, it soon became apparent that the great majority fell roughly into one of three main categories. First there were those to do with Tolstoy the writer, his views about his own work and the works of other writers. Secondly there were those which concerned Tolstoy the thinker in a broader sense, and expressed his attitude to the times he lived in, contemporary social problems, rural life, industrialisation, education and more especially in later life, religious and spiritual questions. Thirdly there were the letters which were more loosely to do with Tolstoy the man, the main stages of his biography, his relations with his family and friends, and the growth and development of his own personality. 'Volume 1 is divided into five sections, running from 1828 to 1879. Volume 2 is divided into four sections, running from 1880 to 1910. Each section is enriched by a short introduction by Professor Christian. The two volumes do indeed constitute 'A Possession for ever.''Professor Christian's selection is a major act of scholarship and publication.' George Steiner, Sunday Times'both scholarly and easy to read . . . exceptionally rewarding.' Raymond Williams, The Guardian'Professor Christian has done an excellent job.' John Bayley, New Statesman'This country's leading Tolstoy scholar has selected, edited and translated a twp-volume set of Tolstoy's Letters, which represents academic publishing of the highest kind. The editing and translating are immaculate . . .C.A Johnson, Yorkshire Post'. . . enthralling and deeply moving . . . They are a true a cross-section as could be desired. In his editing, his brief linking summaries, his always pertinent notes showing an incredible mastery of his subject, he is concerned only to set the scene and introduce the cast . . . Professor Christian's volumes do Tolstoy the immeasurable service of providing self-justification by self-revelation. English Tolstoyans will not be extravagant if they attach to this work Thucydides' epigraph ''A Possession for ever''. Sir William Hayley, The Times'Nothing remotely comparable to this superb edition of Tolstoy's letters has ever been published before in English.' William B. Edgerton, Indiana University'the most important Tolstoy publication in English in several decades . . . Together with Professor Christian's helpful and knowledgeable commentary, the letters open up an unequalled panorama of the man, his evolving outlook and the age in which he lived.' Simon Karlinsky, New York Times Review.

Both Lev Nikolaevich Tolstoy (1828–1910) and his wife Sofia Andreevna Tolstaya (1844–1919) were prolific letterwriters. Lev Nikolaevich wrote approximately 10,000 letters over his lifetime — 840 of these addressed to his wife. Letters written by (or to) Sofia Andreevna over her lifetime also numbered in the thousands. When Tolstaya published Lev Nikolaevich’s letters to her, she declined to include any of her 644 letters to her husband. The absence of half their correspondence obscured the underlying significance of many of his comments to her and occasionally led the reader to wrong conclusions. The current volume, in presenting a constantly unfolding dialogue between the Tolstoy-Tolstaya couple — mostly for the first time in English translation — offers unique insights into the minds of two fascinating individuals over the 48-year period of their conjugal life. Not only do we ’peer into the souls’ of these deep-thinking correspondents by penetrating their immediate and extended family life — full of joy and sadness, bliss and tragedy but we also observe, as in a generation-spanning chronicle, a variety of scenes of Russian society, from rural peasants to lords and ladies. This hard-cover, illustrated critical edition includes a foreword by Vladimir Il’ich Tolstoy (Lev Tolstoy’s great-great-grandson), introduction, maps, genealogy, as well as eleven additional letters by Sofia Andreevna Tolstaya published here for the very first time in either Russian or English translation. It is a beautiful complement to My Life, a collection of Sofia Tolstaya’s memoirs published in English in 2010 at the University of Ottawa Press.

“Love is the only way to rescue humanity from all ills, and in it you too have the only method of saving your people from enslavement.” A Letter to a Hindu was Leo Tolstoy’s response to letters from Tarak Nath Das – an Indian revolutionary and international scholar. Das wished to know the Russian author’s views on how India could gain Independence from the British. Tolstoy’s response elaborates on how India and Indians have love in their very roots, and they could use the methods of non-violence, protests and peace to win independence. When Mahatma Gandhi came across the letter, he translated it and published it with his Introduction. It holds insights from some great minds from the pre-independence era and is a reflection of India’s rich heritage and cultural roots.
