Uis "War and Peace," w a. I ale of

greater:;, favor . abroad, where - his
"KreVitzei1 Sonata;"- translations ''of

attracted wide attention. .'
Tolstoi wrote much on --education
and published a number of short
stories and reminiscences of child
hood and youth, but of recent years
he had devoted himself to religious
teaching. He made "return not
evil' the keynote of the Christian
faith, and inisted that the literal in

Mount- was the 'only rule of the
'ChriTsan life. ' The religious views of
Tolstoi were set forth in his "Christs

vival of the reports of the govern
ment's intention to take a .severe,
action against the author. ''
In January, 1905,Tols,toi published
an o'pen letter to the Czar regarding
the'internal conditions' in Russia,
which was printed throughout the
world, and some time later he com
pleted his drama "Rehind the Scenes
in War,'' the production of which
was prohibited in St. Petersburg.
Several of the publishers of Tol
