Description
Excerpt from Complete Works of Lyof N. Tolstoï, Vol. 11: The Kingdom of God Is Within You; What Is Art?; What Is Religion?
Much of the book is racy and amusing; much of it is abstruse, and requires close attention. But whether one follows the author in his individual Opinions or not, it cannot be denied that the general tone of the treatise is helpful and uplifting, and that it is based on sound common sense. Mr. Aylmer Maude of England is the translator of this work, and has had the benefit of Count Tolsto''i''s own suggestions in regard to certain points. As the special preface explains, the translation accurately represents the author''s views, while the edi tion published in Russia was in many ways garbled and distorted. The translators of both treatises have seized the opportunity of carefully revising their work.
