Información sobre este eBook

Leo Tolstoy's 'Yasnaya Polyana School' is a groundbreaking exploration of education and society in late 19th-century Russia. Written in his renowned critical and moralistic style, Tolstoy delves into the flaws of traditional education systems and offers a revolutionary perspective on the role of teachers and the purpose of schooling. Through vivid storytelling and deep philosophical insights, Tolstoy challenges the reader to question the values and practices of the educational establishment of his time. Leo Tolstoy, known for his epic novels like 'War and Peace' and 'Anna Karenina,' drew upon his own experiences as an educator and social critic to write 'Yasnaya Polyana School.' His beliefs in nonviolent resistance and the importance of moral education shine through in this thought-provoking work, reflecting his lifelong commitment to truth and justice. Tolstoy's passion for social reform and his keen observations on human nature make 'Yasnaya Polyana School' a significant addition to his body of work. I highly recommend 'Yasnaya Polyana School' to those interested in the intersection of education and social change. Tolstoy's profound insights and compelling arguments make this book a must-read for anyone seeking a fresh perspective on the purpose and potential of schooling.

Acerca del autor

Count Lev Nikolayevich Tolstoy, known more commonly as Leo Tolstoy, was a towering figure in world literature, renowned for his masterful storytelling and profound philosophical inquiries. Born on September 9, 1828, in Yasnaya Polyana, Russia, Tolstoy emerged from an aristocratic background to become one of the most influential authors of the 19th and early 20th centuries. His literary works are characterized by realistic narrative and deep moral and ethical explorations, which have left an indelible mark on the development of modern literature. Tolstoy's contributions to the world of literature include such classics as 'War and Peace' (1869) and 'Anna Karenina' (1877), which epitomize his gift for complex, character-driven storytelling interlaced with thoughtful commentary on society, politics, and human nature. In 'Yasnaya Polyana School' (1862), Tolstoy outlined his educational philosophy and experiments at the school he founded on his estate, representing his lifelong commitment to social reform and spiritual growth. His introspective and often spiritually oriented works, including 'The Kingdom of God Is Within You' (1894), further demonstrate his quest for truth and nonviolent resistance, a significant influence on figures like Mahatma Gandhi and Martin Luther King, Jr. Tolstoy's literary style is distinct in its extensive detail, psychological depth, and use of realism, making him an essential figure in the pantheon of great authors. He passed away on November 20, 1910, leaving behind a legacy as a literary giant, moral thinker, and social reformer.
