Book Overview
In 1920, Virginia and Leonard Woolf's Hogarth Press published Maxim Gorky's Reminiscences of Tolstoy and it was recognized almost immediately as one of the few masterpieces of modern biography. 'It is one of the most remarkable biographical pieces ever written, ' writes Leonard Woolf in his autobiography. 'It makes one hear, see, feel Tolstoy and his character as if one were sitting in the same room - his greatness and his littleness, his entrancing and infuriating complexity, his titanic and poetic personality, his superb humour.' In 1934, the book was expanded to include Gorky's memoirs of two other great Russian literary figures, Anton Chekhov and Leonid Andreev. Almost a hundred years later, Reminiscences of Tolstoy, Chekhov and Andreev is reissued in a superb new translation by Bryan Karetnyk.
