| Summary | "Reminiscences of Leo Nicolayevitch Tolstoi" by Maksim Gorky is a biographical account reflecting on the life and thoughts of the famous Russian writer Leo Tolstoi, likely written in the early 20th century. This work combines personal observations and reflections from Gorky, who spent time with Tolstoi in the Crimea and Yassnaya Polyana, allowing readers an intimate glimpse into the profound musings and complex character of Tolstoi during the final years of his life. In this book, Gorky presents a series of notes that capture various aspects of Tolstoi's philosophy, spirit, and the dichotomy of his existence as both a revered author and a conflicted human being. Through anecdotes and dialogues, Gorky reveals Tolstoi's grappling with existential questions such as the nature of humanity, spirituality, and the pursuit of truth. The book also explores themes of love, suffering, and the connection between individual existence and the collective human experience. Gorky's admiration and critique of Tolstoi create a nuanced narrative, illustrating not only the brilliance of Tolstoi's literary genius but also the underlying struggles and contradictions that shaped his life and works.
