This book talks about how the Russian and world public was going to meet the 80th anniversary of Leo Tolstoy. The narrative was built in quotes from newspaper articles in 1908, caricatures, as well as diary records of Lev Nikolaevich and his photographs.
There were conflicting opinions about the arrangement of this holiday. Some proposed to make the 80th anniversary of Tolstoy an event overshadowing the centenary of Pushkin, others talked about the complete abolition of celebration. Sharp debates about the personality of the hero of the day can be described by a quote from one newspaper article: “What a pity that Tolstoy is not a watermelon and that it cannot be divided into two parts. A terrible confusion would have arisen in the heads of thousands of people, if we had a proposal to divide Tolstoy into two halves: healthy and rotten. ”
Tolstoy"s contemporaries wrote about him bolder than ours, but at the same time they knew him better and easily entered the correspondence polemic. A living reading of Tolstoy, devoid of thoughtless veneration, the personal dialogue of each of the readers with his thoughts is what is important today for understanding the real depth and scale of the personality of the genius
