Items related to How Much Land Does a Man Need
Fiction. Bilingual Edition. Translated from the Russian by Boris Dralyuk. Foreword by Brian Evenson. Calypso Editions presents a new translation of this frequently overlooked classic. In HOW MUCH LAND DOES A MAN NEED, originally published in 1886, Tolstoy departs from the realist mode of his great novels—War and Peace and Anna Karenina—and adopts the markedly oral narrative style of skaz, a language at once rich and easily accessible to the simple folk he now wished to address. While previous translators have smoothed out the idiosyncrasies of the form, Boris Dralyuk's translation retains the color and voice so vital to the tale.

Review:
"The diversity of Russian culture is well-illustrated through Pakhom's journey and intricate drawings."
About the Author:
Leo Tolstoy was born in 1828 in the Tula province. He studied at the University of Kazan, then led a life of pleasure until 1851 when he joined an artillery regiment in the Caucasus. He established his reputation as a writer with The Sebastopol Sketches (1855-6). After a period in St Petersburg and abroad, he married, had thirteen children, managed his vast estates in the Volga Steppes and wrote War and Peace (1869) and Anna Karenina (1877). A Confession (1879-82) marked a spiritual crisis in his life, and in 1901 he was excommuincated by the Russian Holy Synod. He died in 1910, in the course of a dramatic flight from home, at the railway station of Astapovo.
