0 Years Passed Since Tolstoy's Death

PART TWO

Leo Tolstoy began his literary
career In the fifties of the last
century.

Among -his written works were
“Childhood,” “Boyhood,” “Youth,”
“The Rald,” “Wood Cutting,” “Se.
vastopo! Tales,” “A Land Owner's
Morning,” “To Hussars,” etc. These
works give a cross-section of Rus-
sian life, showing various social
strata and generations.

His artistic genius, however at-
tained the full bloom when he
wrote his great epic novel “War and
Peace.”

‘Tolstoy chose for the subject of
this novel a glorious period in the
history of the Russian people —
The: Patriotic War of 1912, which

Ono Dentist For
2,404 Porsons -

‘There ‘is only one dentist for
every 2404 people in B.C. which
is considered entirely -inadequate
according to figures released by the
B.C. Dental Association. The de-
mand for dental .care.in all areas
vis reported as being much below
actual need.

‘The Dental Association points
out that by the age of 15 years, the
health of almost :100 per. cent of
children has been adversely affect-
ed by tooth decay arid its related
pain, infection, disfigurement: and
disability. *

culminated in the defeat of the
hitherto Recre-

of the relationships between his
Prince Nekhlu-

ating these historical events in his
novel, 50 years after Borodino, Tol-
stoy showed that it Js the people
who make history.

“War and Peace” is an n eple no-
vel of amazing change of scene,
showing pictures from life, episodes
and historical events, and dynamic}
narration are combined with a deep
psychological analysis of the spiri-.
tual Ife of the characters,

* Tolstoy's great mastery as 8
novelist also hallmarks “Anna Kar-
enina” (1878-1877), enjoying no lesa
world fame than “War and Peace.”

It is a great social novel por-
traying the lfe of contemporary
society and showing the relations

Private lives and marital rela-
Hons are depicted in a clash of £0-)
cial confilcts, The tragedy, of Anne,
Karenina, ts revealed in an ethical
and social aspect, as full fledged
Personality disastrously crushed by
the heel of the cruel hypocritical
morality of high society.

In his novel* “Resurrection”
(1889-1899) (Revenue of which was
turned to the cause of Doukhobor
migration), Tolstoy voices his most
Powerful and wrathful protest.
against the system of violence and
oppression, against the entire auto-
cratic order, the church, and the
moral , degradation of.:the ruling
classes. ie

‘With the broad social outlook
typical of him, he weaves the story

between people of all classes, from]:
:| the court aristocrary to the peasan-

doy and Katyusha Maslova. which
constitutes the main subject matter
of the novel, into a complicated
pattern of relations between people
of very different social stations
from court Indies to convicts.

‘There are many other works of
Tolstoy in a way of fiction daa
serious philosophical thought, as
well as religl in, amongst many well

jown are: “Powers of Darkne,s,”
'Fruits of. Enlightment,”. “Livihg
Corpse,” and his appeals to juatice
“I-Cannot Be Silent,” and “What
Is My Faith.” .

‘The ‘Tsarist government was
unable to tolerate Tolstoy, bit pt
the same ime they were afraid to
banish him into exile.

‘Therefore, on Feb, 22, 2901, the
Holy Synod excommunicated Tol-
stoy, from the Russian-Orthodox
Gliureh, In their edict they wrote:
- Well known to all the
world, ‘author, ‘Russian by birth and
orthodox by baptism and upbring-
ing, raised his voice against God
and Christ, and used God-given.ta-
lent, ta spread the heresy against
Christ and the Chureh.”

Such act of excommunication
created great interest in Tolstoy's
writings not only in Russia but in
the whole world. Amongst many
answers to such excommunication,
in his study, there is 4 paper press,
meade out of glass by workers of
glass-factory with the following in-
scription.

*“¥ou have shared the fate of

of their times, dearly esteemed Leo
