"Tolstoy" by "Romain Rolland" is a literary biography written in the early 20th century. The work offers an exploration of the life and impact of the renowned Russian author Leo Tolstoy, emphasizing the profound resonance his ideas and writings had on the intellectual society of his time, particularly in France. This tribute not only encapsulates Tolstoy's artistic and philosophical journey but also reflects how he emerged as a towering figure of moral and spiritual inquiry, deeply loved and debated among his contemporaries. The opening of the work sets the stage for a personal and heartfelt tribute to Tolstoy, detailing the author's profound admiration and the communal experience shared by Rolland and his contemporaries in discovering Tolstoy's literature during the transformative period of the late 19th century. It recounts Rolland's formative years as he and his peers engaged with Tolstoy's works, expressing feelings of connection and revelation through his exploration of themes such as mortality, brotherly love, and human disillusionment. In these early pages, the profound emotional impact of Tolstoy's storytelling and ideas is vividly illustrated, establishing a strong foundation for further reflection on the complexities of his life, beliefs, and artistry.
