Synopsis
Excerpt from Leo Tolstoy, His Life and Work, Vol. 1: Autobiographical Memoirs, Letters, and Biographical Material I was first encouraged to do it by the French publisher Stock, who, when taking m hand a complete publication of Tolstoy's works in French, asked me if I would revise the Russian texts and write a biography of the author.

A. Tolstoy - The definition of biography - Collection of materials - Division of the sources of materials into four parts according to their importance - Correspondence with Tolstoy - Assistance of V. Tchertkoff - Unfavourable conditions of the work - Letters of Tolstoy concerning his participation in the work - The division of the biography into periods of seven years - Reminiscences of Tolstoy - The division of the whole biography into three volumes - The true significance of Leo Tolstoy - P.S. - The list of materials used in the first three parts in the alphabetic order of the authors' names. Conscious of my inability, it is with diffidence and hesitation that I approach this work, sacred in my eyes - the life-story of my teacher, the aged prophet, Leo Tolstoy. Only a few years ago I was so far from dreaming of this undertaking that, while living much of my time in close proximity to Tolstoy, and often staying in his house for hours or even whole days, it never entered into my mind to make any note or record of what I heard from Tolstoy himself or from those about him. Now, an exile for my religious opinions, living far from my country and far from Tolstoy, I have set myself to accomplish this important task. I was first encouraged to do it by the French publisher Stock, who, when taking in hand a complete publication of Tolstoy's works in French, asked me if I would revise the Russian texts and write a biography of the author. I knew very well that it was impossible to write the biography of a man still living without the consent of himself and his family, so, before accepting Stock's offer, I wrote to Countess Tolstoy, asking if she had any objection to my undertaking the biography of her husband.
