Translation of the third essay from Drei Dichter ihres Lebens. Albert László from page images generously made available by the Library of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences "Tolsztoj" by Stefan Zweig is a profound exploration of the life and psyche of the renowned Russian author Leo Tolstoy, written in the early 20th century. The work serves as both a biographical account and an analytical portrait, delving into the spiritual and existential struggles that defined Tolstoy's later life, particularly his confrontation with the concept of nothingness. Zweig paints a picture of Tolstoy not only as a literary giant but as a complex individual grappling with his emotions, his faith, and the meaning of life. The opening of the book introduces Tolstoy at a pivotal moment when he grapples with a deep existential crisis. Zweig discusses how this great writer, who once felt “completely and perfectly happy,” suddenly finds everything devoid of meaning. He depicts Tolstoy's descent into despair and isolation, marked by a haunting realization of the “Nothing” that lies behind worldly achievements and joys. Tolstoy becomes increasingly alienated from his possessions, family, and even from life itself, leading to profound reflections on mortality and the human condition. This sets the stage for a deeper investigation into Tolstoy’s thoughts about life, art, and spirituality that Zweig continues to explore throughout the work.
