Tolstoi Today
September 6, 1919 issue

add to cart   close window

The article focuses on the book "Tolstoi Today," by Robert Hunter. The author of this book has hit upon a valuable method of presenting the case of the socialists to religiously-minded individualists. He devotes almost a half of his account to a moving presentation of the pathetic failure of Tolstoi, the leading individualist of our time, to gain inner satisfaction or permanent influence, and then advances his reasons for maintaining that the cause of that failure lay in Tolstoi's absolute refusal to organize his followers in an attempt to transform the social State. The force of the book lies in its first half.
