There are many amazing, often obscure works of literature available as free e-books: small slices of earthly and intellectual paradise waiting to be uncovered. Finding dusty old gems can take a bit of work and patience, but this exercise is my kind of fun. I thought it would be nice to share my discoveries with you on a regular basis. First up:
Reminiscences of Tolstoy, by His Son by Graf Ilia Lvovich Tolstoi [Project Gutenberg]

Leo’s son Ilia as an older man.
I’ve only read a bit of this so far, but it is a fascinating look at life in that household. Plus, I like the way he writes this.
Thanks for sharing. π

I really enjoyed the book. A window to another time, a peek at the family life of a greatly esteemed literary giant, etc. Good stuff, to be sure.
