4:33 pm
anniversary i'm talking to one of his biographers a n. wilson he wanted award in one thousand nine hundred eight for a biography of tolstoy and wilson thank you very much for talking to r.t. now first as a biographer what attracted you to tolstoy here's a giant he was the great giant of the novelistic form greater even than dostoyevsky who i suppose the great dr so that was what attracted me to him and the fact that ever since so it's really become a serious reader in my teens it was his novels and so regarded as the greatest tell stories books i'm thinking specifically of war and peace consistently tops these lists of the best book ever do you agree with those kinds of rankings you can't really compare war and peace with any other novel he himself said it wasn't a novel and it isn't really a novel it's a book about everything it focuses yes all the years you know five campaign
4:34 pm
culminating in the battle of our salutes and then the invasion of eight hundred twelve but the further it goes on you realise that it's a novel about the whole of russia and also it's a novel about personal regeneration tolstoy was as much a philosopher as a writer what do you think in compass is his philosophy in life and i answer it in two ways if you think of that really quite early work of his. the cossacks there's a moment in that we're now living in who's been hunting. for the deer and there's all covered in that is beautifully described fantastic scene. and he's all alone he doesn't quite know where he is in the caucasus covered in that it's very hot very sweaty and he suddenly gets down in the hole. where the itself has been lying and he has this strange feeling of life. reason. with which he's connected he's not sure whether the future life whether there's
4:35 pm
life after death but the significance of life itself for each one of those must treat is a biting him just as for him justice for the. warriors and justice of the muslims that they're supposed to fighting there's an extraordinary significance in every single life and he has all his thoughts about being an heiress to trapped being a member of society in wall street they mean nothing to him what matters is this feeling of the sacredness almost the holiness of life and the importance of trying to live for other people now that's a very very early story and then when you get to the end of tolstoy's life and career the thousands of people who were following his coffin when he died and will no doubt get on to this. they weren't following him because he was a great novelist they were following him because he had taught not only russia over the world how it ought to live how we should be less selfish how we shouldn't be
4:36 pm
wrecking the planet we shouldn't be fighting wars. so this early story in which anyone has the sense of of the goodness of life the significance of life and how we should live more simply and more response to nature and to our conscience that really runs through the whole of his life and he essentially underwent this transformation didn't he from high society to spiritual on a case told well what i was trying to say by mentioning because archy is that it's always there from the beginning actually this feeling that we are called to a deeper truer life away from the absurdity of society and so forth the tolstoy family were very grand i mean some of them were advisers to the emperor the family . on whom old prince bolkonski are more in pieces but it's his maternal grandfather was also very grand military and political figure tolstoy himself lived almost entirely in the country at his estate and yes my apology on the he never really.
4:37 pm
played a big part in the political life unlike his cousin's court in petersburg or in moscow but you're right to say there was this huge crisis in the middle of his life when he'd finished anna karenina. which was a fantastic success as was war and peace and it made him very very rich which he hadn't been before he'd been land it and it had peasants and it had states but he wasn't very rich he then became a multimillionaire as we would say. and he had a crisis what's the point of it all there's a moment in his autobiography where he said he couldn't even be in a room in the room with a piece of rope to feel he would want to hang himself he then thought the way to live is to try to be like a peasant and for a few years he pretended. he'd by the way set up schools not only on his interstates but the vast acres and miles around us and i probably on the starting education. he was the great pioneer of russian education and even now they
4:38 pm
sometimes in some russian schools use his a.b.c. to teach people to read. so it wasn't just sort of pious try dreaming but having pretended to be a peasant he then went back to being the reasonable man he was and he thought what is due to christianity and the church it's teaching ethics how to live. the miraculous stuff from leicester and it was out of that was his fault his call for last year's life which as you say is that he felt that. all governments not just the governments of the sars the particularly evil in his eyes all governments are based on violence and the only way that we as individuals and we are societies to get away from a system of the military of war solving problems of torture is in ourselves
4:39 pm
to forswear violence but also to forswear the idea of authority so he was an extremely subversive figure and an extremely conflicted person if i'm not mistaken here there's an anecdote that i remember hearing about about tolstoy that he was working on the raid one day and he came across a gang of rock breakers you know people who break rocks with other rocks and he thought to himself. how much he envied them because as poor working people they were so much closer to god than he was and you can imagine this rock breaking hearing this story and thing here you have no idea of the privations and hardships of my life exactly and there was a great deal of un realism about him which was why his wife for example fantom so maddening in the second half of his life and you know for example in part of the great creed he built up apart from being a vegetarian a pacifist and so forth was that sex itself was evil. well he was an extremely highly sexed man and even when these tracts calling upon the world to
4:40 pm
forswear sex were coming out his wife was having her tenth or eleventh child and so forth making her look absolutely ridiculous of course as well as making him look ridiculous. and did his contemporaries frequently see him as ridiculous well he. ridiculous isn't really a word one uses of these great giants and where one. dismaying feature of him is that he didn't have a sense of humor certainly not about himself but i think over the six question he did make himself ridiculous yet also i was a deeply religious man but he did get into quite serious conflict with the orthodox chat well he was religious in this way that you get in the novels i think if you think of pierre or prince andrew in one piece if you think of given in. their worldly young man. soldiers or landowners and people very much like himself as to crafts with women trouble and all that and then they reach
4:41 pm
a crisis in their lives and they turn to what's all about to member prince andrew thinking he's dying. and then what it's all about is this great stride you can sort of. you can identify with the mystery of nature tolstoy was full of that to the end of his days where he parted company with the church was over the claim that for example the miracles were literally true or that the church had the right to dictate to men and women what they believed in what they thought and how they should behave and so he fell out with the church in a very very big way and they eventually after he wrote the novel called resurrection which has a lamp of the literature of the orthodox church in it the extreme indicated him didn't make any difference to him because he hadn't been going to communion anyway but he was excommunicated it meant he couldn't have a church funeral. which was quite a big deal in its days it was a big deal for his wife who was who was unorthodox it wasn't for him he'd never
4:42 pm
wanted to be buried in church ground anyway he was buried in the place the states where his brother thought he'd buried this green stick when they were playing it but a game in childhood on the green stick was written the secret of how we should live the cedars of human happiness so it's very appropriate he should be buried there. we are celebrating the hundredth anniversary of tolstoy is that what celebrate well to celebrate is the greatest novelist who has ever lived but also this man who was guided with a passion for the truth and he alone stood up against this extremely powerful regime. and told the truth in a world of lies and this was a fantastic example for russia because in all the terrible years which followed his death he died in one thousand and ten the civil wars the first of all the civil war the revolutions and so forth. the tradition of tolstoy lived and it enabled the
4:43 pm
dissidents when they courageously began to emerge and stand in this time. to look at his example and see that it's only it is one voice telling the truth look at a lot of our look at social needs and they would dilute it by the influence of tolstoy and that's really what we have to celebrate and you said that he was in essence an advocate if told so he'd be alive today what you think he would be doing . he wouldn't be very surprised that for example the americans just as the russians did before were trying to defeat the afghans nobody's ever defeated the afghans so he behalf amused by that he wouldn't be very surprised that the bag of the world. made a complete mess of things and that what we call civilization was collapsing two of the banks and he would be saying just what he was saying in one thousand. live more simply try to love people try to live for others and well thank you very much thank you.
