Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine. 1st Edition. First published in Russian in 1978, and by Jonathan Cape in UK in 1985, this is a first edited, newly translated and revised edition of 2009. Some very slight edge wear to top and bottom of jacket and spine, bottom corners slightly bruised, not price… clipped (£20.00), no inscriptions, internally clean tight and square, overall a vg+ copy, looks unread. 609pp. When Sofia Behrs (1844-1919), married Count Leo Tolstoy, the author of 'War and Peace', husband and wife regularly exchanged diaries covering the years from 1862 to 1910. Sofia's life was not an easy one: she idealized her husband, but was tormented by him, even her many children were not an unmitigated blessing. In the background of her life was one of the most turbulent periods of Russian history. The transition from old feudal Russia to the three revolutions and three major international wars. Yet it is as Sofia Tolstoy's own life story, the study of one woman's private experience, that the diaries are most valuable and moving. They are a testament to a woman of tremendous vital energy and poetic sensibility who, in the face of provocation and suffering, continued to strive for the higher things in life and to remain indomitable. Quite a scarce book.
