gewerbliches Angebot, [SC: 12.99], deutliche Gebrauchsspuren, [PU: Simon & Schuster], 400.0, [GW: 680g], [ED: Hardcover], First Edition, RO, Trübung in die turbulente und leidenschaftliche Welt von Leo und Sonya Tolstoy mit William L. Shirers überzeugender Biographie: "Liebe und Hass: Die unruhige Ehe von Leo und Sonya Tolstoy". Diese akribisch untersuchte Erstausgabe -Hardcover, die 1994 von Simon & Schuster veröffentlicht wurde, bietet den Lesern ein intimes und aufschlussreiches Porträt eines der komplexesten und faszinierendsten literarischen Paare der Geschichte. Shirer erstreckt sich über 400 Seiten und erforscht meisterhaft das miteinander verbundene Leben des berühmten Autors von "War and Peace" und "Anna Karenina" und seiner Frau Sonya Andreyevna Behrs, einer Frau von beeindruckenden Intellekt und künstlerischen Sensibilität. "Love and Hass" bietet mehr als nur eine Nacherzählung historischer Ereignisse und bietet tiefgreifende Einblicke in die psychologische und emotionale Dynamik, die die Tolstoi -Ehe geprägt hat. Shirer stützt sich auf eine Fülle von Primärquellen, einschließlich Tagebüchern, Briefen und Familienberichten, um eine differenzierte und oft unerschütterliche Erzählung zu konstruieren. Er zeigt, wie die kontrastierenden Persönlichkeiten des Paares, die sich entwickelnden Überzeugungen und widersprüchliche Wünsche sowohl Tolstoys kreatives Genie befeuert als auch die Samen der Zwietracht in ihrer Beziehung säen. Das Buch untersucht Sonyas entscheidende Rolle in Leos Leben, von ihrem Engagement bis zur Verwaltung des Haushalts und der Erziehung ihrer großen Familie bis hin zu ihrer unschätzbaren Unterstützung bei der Transkription und Bearbeitung seiner monumentalen Werke. Es steht auch den Herausforderungen, mit denen Sonya konfrontiert war, einschließlich der gesellschaftlichen Erwartungen, die Frauen in Russland aus dem 19. Jahrhundert, die Belastung für die Unterstützung von Tolstoys wachsenden Ruhm und philosophischen Verpflichtungen und den emotionalen Toll seines zunehmend asketischen Lebensstils. Shirer scheut sich nicht davor, die dunkleren Aspekte der Tolstoi -Ehe zu erkunden. Er befasst sich mit Leos zunehmend radikaleren Ansichten zu Wohlstand, Eigentum und der Rolle der Kunst, die oft mit Sonyas konventionelleren Überzeugungen in Konflikt geraten. Er untersucht auch die Auswirkungen von Tolstoys spiritueller Krise und seine wachsende Distanz der materiellen Welt auf ihre eheliche Bindung. Das Buch analysiert sorgfältig die emotionalen Turbulenzen, die Argumente und die Momente tiefgreifender Verbindung, die ihre gemeinsame Existenz definierten. "Love and Hass" ist eine kraftvolle und zum Nachdenken anregende Arbeit, die bei Lesern, die an Biographie, literarischer Geschichte und den Komplexität menschlicher Beziehungen interessiert sind, in Resonanz stehen. Es bietet ein tieferes Verständnis von Leo Tolstoy, nicht nur als literarischer Riese, sondern auch als Mann, der sich mit tiefgreifenden persönlichen und philosophischen Fragen auseinandersetzt. Es gibt auch Sonya Tolstoy sie gebührend und porträtiert sie als eine starke und intelligente Frau, die eine wichtige Rolle im Leben und im Erbe ihres Mannes spielte, selbst als sie sich bemühte, ihre eigenen Wünsche mit seinem beeindruckenden Willen in Einklang zu bringen. Ein Muss für jeden Ein seltener Fund aus einem ersten Druck von 50.000. Delve into the turbulent and passionate world of Leo and Sonya Tolstoy with William L. Shirer's compelling biography, "Love and Hatred: The Troubled Marriage of Leo and Sonya Tolstoy." This meticulously researched First Edition hardcover, published by Simon & Schuster in 1994, offers readers an intimate and revealing portrait of one of history's most complex and fascinating literary couples. Spanning 400 pages, Shirer masterfully explores the intertwined lives of the celebrated author of "War and Peace" and "Anna Karenina" and his wife, Sonya Andreyevna Behrs, a woman of formidable intellect and artistic sensibilities in her own right. More than just a recounting of historical events, "Love and Hatred" provides profound insights into the psychological and emotional dynamics that shaped the Tolstoy marriage. Shirer draws upon a wealth of primary sources, including diaries, letters, and family accounts, to construct a nuanced and often unflinching narrative. He reveals how the couple's contrasting personalities, evolving beliefs, and conflicting desires both fueled Tolstoy's creative genius and sowed the seeds of discord within their relationship. The book examines Sonya's crucial role in Leo's life, from her dedication to managing the household and raising their large family to her invaluable assistance in transcribing and editing his monumental works. It also confronts the challenges Sonya faced, including the societal expectations placed upon women in 19th-century Russia, the burden of supporting Tolstoy's growing fame and philosophical commitments, and the emotional toll of his increasingly ascetic lifestyle. Shirer doesn't shy away from exploring the darker aspects of the Tolstoy marriage. He delves into Leo's increasingly radical views on wealth, property, and the role of art, which often clashed with Sonya's more conventional beliefs. He also examines the impact of Tolstoy's spiritual crisis and his growing detachment from the material world on their marital bond. The book carefully analyzes the emotional turmoil, the arguments, and the moments of profound connection that defined their shared existence. “Love and Hatred" is a powerful and thought-provoking work that will resonate with readers interested in biography, literary history, and the complexities of human relationships. It provides a deeper understanding of Leo Tolstoy, not just as a literary giant, but as a man grappling with profound personal and philosophical questions. It also gives Sonya Tolstoy her due, portraying her as a strong and intelligent woman who played a vital role in her husband's life and legacy, even as she struggled to reconcile her own desires with his formidable will. A must-read for anyone seeking a richer appreciation of Tolstoy's works and the forces that shaped them, and for those intrigued by stories of love, ambition, and the enduring power of human connection.

Advance copy slip and publisher's press release laid in. Book One (The Years Before--1828-1879) covers The Trials of Early Marriage; A Narrow Escape from Matrimony; Two Very Different Kinds of Love; A Whirlwind Courtship; Marriage at Last--Despite the Doubts; Yasnaya Polyana, Sonya's Jealousies, and War and Peace; Anna Karenina; and Tolstoy's Great Midlife Crisis.

Book Three, The Last Year, 1910, covers The Beginning of the End, The Last Month, The Last Weeks, The Last Days, Flight!, and contains an Epilogue. In a touching, brilliant, and groundbreaking biography of one of literary history's most famous couples, at once a dual biography, a history, and the portrait of a long and stormy marriage, William Shirer's book explores the passionate, highly charged, and extraordinary lives of Leo and Sonya Tolstoy. This is the story of a great romance between two people who could live neither together nor apart. Their's was a romance that exhausted and obsessed them both, and that forms the basis for much of Tolstoy's work. William Lawrence Shirer (February 23, 1904 - December 28, 1993) was an American journalist and war correspondent. He wrote The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich, a history of Nazi Germany that has been read by many and cited in scholarly works for more than 50 years. Originally a foreign correspondent for the Chicago Tribune and the International News Service, Shirer was the first reporter hired by Edward R. Murrow for what would become a CBS radio team of journalists known as "Murrow's Boys". He became known for his broadcasts from Berlin, from the rise of the Nazi dictatorship through the first year of World War II (1940). With Murrow, he organized the first broadcast world news roundup, a format still followed by news broadcasts. Shirer wrote more than a dozen books besides The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich, including Berlin Diary (published in 1941); The Collapse of the Third Republic (1969), which drew on his experience living and working in France from 1925 to 1933; and a three-volume autobiography, 20th Century Journey (1976 to 1990). Derived from a Kirkus review: Given the Tolstoys' voluminous, unsparing, often shared, and ultimately rather deranged diaries, writing about this prizefight of a union is not much harder than simply showing up at ringside. Using the straight-line, calendar-like procedure of his famous Rise and Fall of the Third Reich, Shirer follows the count and countess through the rounds of their agonies. Shirer revisits Sonya's devotion as secretary; Leo's personal renunciation of one of the most fabulous gifts of talent in world art in favor of his own brand of obnoxious humility as a Christ figure; the ensuing acolytes; the jealous and largely ignored children; the comings and goings of fellow Russian writers and disciple-ish suck-ups; Sonya's pathetic attempt to snare the attentions of the composer Tanayev and thus win for herself a little well-deserved appreciation. All that's here is complete. A great man's marriage is of legitimate interest and his historical references to the foment of Russian society churning around the Tolstoys, to which they certainly contributed, are incorporated., Simon & Schuster, 1994, 3<
