#Tolstoy asked: "how much land does a person need?
2m x 1m was his answer too...
I'm through Ch 10 of the first Epilogue in War & Peace. Folks I don't know if I can finish. Tolstoy's absolute manosphere values expressed here are maddening. At least the Pastoral Epistles are short! #booksky #CriticalBible #tolstoy
WTF? But wait there is more, "--but the please given by real women gifted with the capacity to select and absorb the very best a man shows of himself." Jesus H. Christ. #booksky #tolstoy
"Now that he was telling it all to Natasha he experienced thatt please which a man has when women listen to him." Tolstoy setting up Pierre to be the winner of the novel, and demonstrating his inability to understand women. #bookssky #tolstoy more in response.
If we admit that human life can be ruled by reason the possibility of life is destroyed - War and Peace epilogue 1 chapter 1 #tolstoy #booksky profound or nonsense?

Tolstoy describes an "old man's mild smile, which drew the corners of his lips and eyes into a cluster of wrinkles." 😗🤌 Perfect. #booksky #tolstoy
Tolstoy's Napoleon strikes me as Trump. Of him, Tolstoy notes, "For a 'great' man nothing is wrong, there is no atrocity for which a 'great' man can be blamed." Yea. Tru. (BK 14, ch 18)

I'm so hooked. Why am I so hooked? Why do I love #RussianLit so much? Halfway through & things are getting messy👏 can't tell if it's getting more melodramatic or less. I flip-flopped so much thru the 1st half between loving & hating Andrey, I wonder where I'll land by the end. #Tolstoy #FridayFunday
#Tolstoy writing about Spring.
This is the page where I fell in love with him ❤️
Some people claim that we need to be be violent to stop #violence. To me, this has always sounded like "we need to rape to prevent rape". Is there something we have not thought through here? #Gandhi #Tolstoy #Basics
The stretching out of Prince Andrew in Books 11&12 of W&P is, well, it's killing me. #tolstoy #booksky
Breezing through #WarAndPeace. This is a very readable translation - modern but doesn't feel out of place. Wrapped Vol 1 with #SaintSaen Le rouet d'Omphale in the background, which made the whole battle scene play out quirkier than it's prob meant to be. #booksky #ClassicLit #Tolstoy #FridayFunday

From workers to revolutionaries, history’s true engine is the courage, labour, and unity of the masses, not singular leaders.

Ordinary people acting together shape history, showing that collective effort drives change more than lone heroes.

"now spread a mist of damp and smoke and a strange acid smell of saltpeter and blood ... in every soul: 'For what, for whom, must I kill and be killed?' ... they stumbled and panted with fatigue, perspiring and stained with blood and powder. ... flame of battle burned slowly out." #Tolstoy #booksky
@russianreadingroom.bsky.social “Tell me honestly—do you think I am envious of Lev Tolstoy? You know, yes, I am in fact envious, but only not in the way that they think.”

✅100% literacy
✅Free childbirth
✅6th graders could understand #Dostoevsky and #Tolstoy
✅No homelessness
✅ Beautiful architecture
✅Free heat
✅Energy efficient,dense walkable cities with trains
All the variety, all the charm, all the beauty of life are made up of light and shade. – L. Tolstoy (Anna Karenina)
#tolstoy #wordsofwisdom #booksky
If you haven’t seen it or dismissed it on release like I did, Joe Wright’s Anna Karenina stands as one of the 21st century’s best adaptations of a great novel ever put to film #filmsky #cinema #tolstoy #tomstoppard 📽️ youtu.be/uQjUhZEakOk?...
Going live on Twitch to translate War and Peace into Australian, communally. As you do. See ya there :) www.twitch.tv/anderlouis #tolstoy #livestreaming
A post on Twitter/X addressed to Putina, translation of the Russian in the main post.

Translation:
“It is sad that you were not taught by the greats — Tolstoy, Chekhov, Dostoevsky.
‘A person is capable of terrible acts not from strength, but from the inability to endure their own insignificance.’”
