Часть текста: можете прочесть письмо, если вам угодно, и судите сами. Я прошу вас оказать мне услугу, передать это письмо государю. Вы очень меня этим обяжете, и, сделав это, я надеюсь, сделаете истинно хорошее дело. С истинным почтением остаюсь, милостивый государь, уважающий вас Лев Толстой. 10 мая 1897. Черновое. Dear Sir, The man who will give you this letter is a peasant from Samara a Malakan. I think you know that this is the denomination that they give in Russia to dissenters of a evangelistical creed. Last april the Stanovoi came in his house and took from him his three children. They did the same in three familys of Malakan. They came to me asking for help. I could not refuse them all what I could do and I wrote a letter to the Emperor relating in it this story and all what I know about the persecutions of the dissenters in Russia. I hope that the Emperor will not be offended by my letter. I tried to express my ideas as meekly as I could. You can read the letter, it is open. The favour I am asking of you is to forward this letter to the Emperor Please do it It will be a really good action. Yours truly Leo Tolstoy. М. Г. Податель этого письма — крестьянин Самарской губернии, молоканин. Думаю, что вы знаете, что это название дается в России сектантам евангельского вероучения. В апреле <исправник> становой явился к нему в дом и забрал его троих детей. То же самое сделано в трех молоканских, семьях. Они приехали ко мне просить помощи. Я не мог отказать им сделать всё, что в...

Часть текста: be right but I think not for every person which will read the book. It can have a bad influence over persons who will read not the whole book and not take in the sense of it. It might also have quite the opposite influence so as it was intented to. All what I can say in my defense is that when I read a book the chief interest for me is the Weltanschau[u]ng des Authors, what he likes and what he hates. And I hope that the reader, which will read my book with the same view will find out what the author likes or dislikes and will be influenced with the sentiment of the author. And I can say that when I wrote the book I abhorred with all my heart the lust and to express this abhorrence was one of the chief aims of the book. If I have failed in it I am very sorry and I am pleading guilty if I was so inconsiderate in the scene of which you write, that I could have produced such a bad impression on your mind. I think that we will be judged by our conscience and by God — not for the results of our deeds, which we can not know, but for our intentions. And I hope that my intentions were not bad. Yours truly Leo Tolstoy. 7 December 1901. Дорогой друг, Получил ваше письмо и предполагал ответить на него, но последние два месяца я был так слаб, что не мог этого сделать. Поэтому вы должны извинить меня за мое долгое молчание. Я дважды прочел ваше письмо, обдумывал вопрос как умел, но не мог прийти к определенному решению его. Вы, может быть, и правы, но, я думаю, не по отношению к каждому человеку, который будет читать эту книгу. Она может иметь дурное влияние на тех людей, которые прочтут не всю книгу и не проникнутся ее смыслом. Она могла также иметь совсем обратное влияние, как и предполагалось. Всё, что я могу сказать в свою защиту, это следующее: когда я читаю книгу, главный интерес для меня — мировоззрение автора, что он любит и что ненавидит. И я надеюсь,...

3. Letter to a Hindoo (Письмо к индусу)

Часть текста: gives birth to thoughts and desires, for if thou dost, thou wilt be dragged through the rough wilderness of life, which is not of Me. Whenever thou feelest that thy feet are becoming entangled in the interlaced roots of life, know then that thou hast strayed from the path to which I beckon thee, for I have placed thee in broad smooth paths which are strewn with flowers. I have put a light before thee, which thou can’st follow and thus run without stumbling. Krishna P. 212. I received your letter and the two issues of the magazine. Both were intensely interesting to me; indeed, the oppression of a majority by the minority of a people and the corruption which flows from it, is a phenomenon which has always occupied my mind and at present is entirely occupying my attention. I will endeavour to convey to you what I think, both in a particular and a general way, about those causes from which those dreadful calamities have arisen and do arise, of which you write in your letter and which are also mentioned in the two numbers of the Hindoo magazine you sent me. The causes, owing to which this astonishing spectacle arises, of the majority of the labouring classes submitting to a mere handful of idlers whom it permits to dispose not only of its labour but also of its very life, are always and everywhere the same; whether the oppressors and the oppressed belong to the same, or, as is the case in India and in other countries, where the dominant class belongs to an entirely different nation from those oppressed. It appears especially strange of...

Часть текста: Эрнесту (Ernest Crosby), 30 июня 1898 г. 177. Эрнесту Кросби (Ernest Crosby). 1898 г. Июня 30. Я. П. Dear friend and brother, The condition of the « Spirit Wrestlers» especially of those which have received the permission to emigrate is very bad. The government augments its pressure upon them. The governor of the Caucasus Golitzine has told them that if they remain true to their faith they will be kept in the same position i. e. be starved to death, and that if they give in, they will be restorted to their former welfare. Many, — nearly 200 of them could not hold out and did recant from their faith, saying that they know it si wrong but they could not longer wittness the sufferings of their families. But those which remain true are in a desperate condition. They are nearly 3000, but they have in all no more than 70 000 roubles, which is not half enough for their emigration, especially because they must pay 10 r. per head for their passeports. Our friend from the christian Commonwealth has sent to me a proposition to settle them in Texas. 1 I forwarded this letter to the English Committee for the emigration of the Douchoborys, and this proposition pleased very much to the Douchoborys themselves. Now what I ask of you is that you should inform us i. e. the commitee in England (adress Kenworthy or Tchertkoff), how much acres could they have in Texas at what price; 2) that you should inform us also at what price the ships could take the men for the passage and 3) to rise in America a subscription for an emigration fund for the Duochoborys. — I have collected till now about 5000. They defend to publish about it in Russia. 2 But I will nevertheless try to collect more by personal [appeals] to persons who can and will help. If you will be so good to do what I ask you, please write about it to me and to Tchertkoff. I admired very much your declaration about the war. 3 Please excuse the negligence of my letter. I have been...

Dear friends, It is a great joy for me to know that I have so many friends in England. God help you to persevere in your enterprise. The efforts that are necessary for its success seem to be so insignificant: only patience, humility, goodwill and forgiveness of the faults of others, that we are inclined to overlook them, but the results of such efforts are the greatest that can be attained in this world. I wish I could be with you, not that I could help you, but that I could work and live with brothers and sisters of the same faith. Your friend and brother, Leo Tolstoy. Дорогие друзья, Мне очень радостно узнать, что у меня столько друзей в Англии. Помогай вам бог настойчиво продолжать ваше начинание. Усилия, необходимые для его успеха, кажутся столь незначительными — только терпение, смирение, доброжелательство и прощение ошибок друг другу, что мы склонны пренебрегать ими; но результаты этих усилий — величайшие, какие могут быть достигнуты в этом мире. Мне хотелось бы быть с вами, не потому что я мог бы помочь вам, но для того, чтобы работать и жить с братьями и сестрами той же веры. Ваш друг и брат Лев Толстой.

Часть текста: have at all time preached the brotherhood of men, but it is Christianity alone, which points out the way, whereby this can be attained. You have translated my works, such as «the Kreuzer Sonata» etc., but I very much wish to make the Japanese public familiar with true Christianity, as I think its founder conceived it. This, as far as I could, I expounded in my book: «The kingdom of god is within you». I think, these books or, at least, an exposition of their contents might be of interest to the Japanese people and might show them, that Christianity is not a collection of miracle narratives, but a very srtict exposition of that idea of human life, which gives wise neither to despair, nor to indifference about ones conduct, but which leads to a most definite moral activity. I advised your friends to order from Geneva those books, which you would like to have. But if you wish it, I will myself send you for translation the book, on which I am now engaged. As far, as I have been able to make it, it contains the most condensed and precise exposition of the Christian teaching. I gave Toku-Tomi some articles 3 to be sent to you. If these will prove of any use to you, I shall be very pleased. Now...

Having arranged all this the benefactor wrate very distingly a direction how to use his hostelry and all the thing that where gathered in it. This decretion the benefactor nailed on the entrance door so that every man should see it. In the direction it was writen that every man who entered the hostelry might stay in it as long as it was good for him and might eate and drink at his heart content and use all what was gathered in the inn clothes or boots or kind of provisions. The sole condition which was required from the travelers was that they schould take only what they needed presently and that they should help each other and leaving the hostelry made things tidy as before their arrival. Having arranged all this and written and hanged on the door this direction the benefactor himself retired. But it came to pass that when people came ent the hostelry they ded not look at the direction and began to use all the goods that where at their desposal without thinking of other people and triing to get all the thinges allthough not needed all...

Часть текста: believe the miracles of the gospel is a complete impossibility for a sane person in our times. We cannot believe the miracles not because we wish, or we do not wish to believe in them, but because such narratives, having a certain meaning for people of the 4-th century, have none for us. If Christ in body ascended the sky, he is ascending it still and never will reach the seat at the right hand of his father. And the same stands for all the miracles of the gospel. I think that the faith in the miracle excludes the faith in the teaching. If Christ could make all men healthy and rich (if he could make wine out of water, he could make all men rich) he should have done it instead of teaching men how to be blessed without health and riches. Those who accept the miracles, accept them only because they do not want to accept the teaching. 2) The divinity of Christ? The chief meaning of the definition of God is that He is a being different from man, above him and therefore if I say that man is God, I say a contradiction, just as if I said: spirit (the definition of which is something that is not matter) — spirit is matter. Christ being God is a belief that can be kept only by people who do not want to accept his teaching. If Christ is man the chief purport of his advent is his teaching and if I accept Christ as teacher I must follow his doctrine, but if he is God his teaching is only a little...

Часть текста: you for it. All this strengthens my vews on marriage, which I expose in my book that I am just now finishing. I think that the ideal of a christian always was and must be complete chastity and appreciate very much your books about that matter. I know that you, shakers, speak always the truth and therefore expect the same from others. So I will tell you frankly all what I think of your religious views. I think that you profess the true christian religion and the true christian life, but you believe in two things in which I never can believe and you ought not: firstly, in the saintity of the whole Bible, including in it the old Testament, the Epistles and the Revelation of mother Ann, 5 and secondly that you believe in manifestation of spirits. The true revelation of God is only in the words of Jesus which are recorded in the Evangeliums and those only can guide us. There are no other spirits than our spirit, which is always battling with matter. Spirit is only the opposit of matter and can manifest itself only in matter. All manifestations of spirits without matters are delusions. Please do not deprive me of your love for my boldness; I very much appreciate your good disposition to me and love you. Leo Tolstoy.

[152] 2) Но, наблюдая эти занятия людей,[153] нельзя не заметить, что все они, служа только увеселению и не принося никакой существенн[ой] пользы,[154] весьма часто приносят один вред, во 1-х, и тот, что бесполезно трат[ят] силы люди, а, во 2-х,[155] не облагораживание приносят, а[156] развращение людей и вместо блага зло (развратные романы,[157] театральные пьесы, картины). 3) И потому[158] естественно является вопрос,[159] на чем основано значение, придаваем[ое] искусству.
