The poet Matthew Arnold wrote that a novel by Tolstoy is not a work of art, but a piece of life. Tolstoy's own wartime experiences culminated in his conversion to pacifist and spiritual anarchist, and his ideas on non-violent resistance had a profound influence on 20th-century figures such as Gandhi and Martin Luther King Jr. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eHusband and wife \u003cb\u003eAylmer\u003c\/b\u003e and \u003cb\u003eLouise Maude\u003c\/b\u003e were the most famous early translators of Leo Tolstoy.

Of their translations Tolstoy wrote, 'Better translations, both for knowledge of the two languages and for penetration into the very meaning of the matter translated, could not be invented.'\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2.2 x 9.45 x 6.38 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e March 04, 2025\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47537441046777,"sku":"9781398845527","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2782\/3097\/files\/c0Dps5DkOL9781398845527.webp?v=1773989687","url":"https:\/\/bookscloud.io\/products\/war-and-peace-2-book-paperback-boxed-set-hardcover","provider":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
