À propos de cet e-book
In "The Relations of the Sexes," Lev Nikolayevich Tolstoy explores the intricate web of human relationships through a lens that emphasizes moral integrity, social justice, and the struggle against societal conventions. This seminal work, imbued with Tolstoy's characteristic realism, dismantles the traditional views on love, marriage, and sexual morality, reflecting his profound philosophical investigations into ethics and spirituality. The text serves as a poignant critique of contemporary gender dynamics, delving into the psychological underpinnings of attraction and commitment amidst the prevailing social mores of 19th-century Russia. Tolstoy, a towering figure in world literature and champion of moral philosophy, wrote this work during a period of intense personal and spiritual upheaval. His grappling with existential questions and a desire to promote human flourishing through ethical living informed his perspective on relationships. Tolstoy's own tumultuous experiences with love, fidelity, and societal expectations undoubtedly influenced his exploration of these themes, providing a rich backdrop for his inquiries into the human condition. I highly recommend "The Relations of the Sexes" to readers seeking a deep and thought-provoking examination of love and morality. Tolstoy's insightful analysis remains relevant today, encouraging us to reflect on our values and the societal constructs that shape our intimate relationships. This book is essential for scholars and enthusiasts of literature, philosophy, and sociology alike.
À propos de l'auteur
Count Lev Nikolayevich Tolstoy (1828-1910) was a Russian writer who is regarded as one of the greatest authors of all time. Born to an aristocratic Russian family, Tolstoy's literary career spans an extensive collection of novels, short stories, plays, and philosophical essays. His most notable works include 'War and Peace' (1869) and 'Anna Karenina' (1877), which are often cited for their intricate character development and sweeping narratives that intertwine personal lives with historical events. Tolstoy's writing style is characterized by his use of realistic dialogue, detailed description, and profound psychological insight. Beyond fiction, he also wrote on various moral and philosophical issues, with 'The Relations of the Sexes' being an example of his exploration into gender and societal norms. Tolstoy became an influential moral thinker and social reformer, with his later works like 'The Kingdom of God Is Within You' (1894) contributing to his reputation as a leading figure in Christian anarchist thought. His ideology and pacifist views have influenced notable figures such as Mahatma Gandhi and Martin Luther King, Jr. In scholarly circles, Tolstoy's contributions to literature and moral philosophy continue to be a subject of extensive study and debate.
