Часть текста: 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 India, for here we have a people of 200 millions of individuals, highly endowed with spiritual and physical powers, in absolute subjection to a small clique, composed of persons utterly alien in thought and aspiration and altogether inferior to those whom they enslave. These causes, as one can easily see from your letter, from the articles in «Free Hindustan», from the highly interesting writings of the Hindoo Swami Vivekananda and...

Часть текста: Л. Н. - Эллису Э. В. (E. W. Ellis), 3 (16) декабря 1906 г. 343. Э. В. Эллису (E. W. Ellis). 1906 г. Декабря 3/16. Я. П. E. W. Ellis. Dear sir, I quite agree with you about Shelley. 1 He has not given all what he could and certainly would have given to the world. He had the highest aspirations and was always bold and true. I was glad to know that you agree with my opinion of the merit of Shakespeare’s work. Yours truly Leo Tolstoy. 3 Dec. 1906. Э. В. Эллису. Милостивый государь, Я совершенно согласен с вами относительно Шелли. 1 Он не дал того, что мог бы дать и, конечно, дал бы миру. У него были самые возвышенные стремления, и он был всегда искренен и смел. Рад был узнать, что вы согласны с моим мнением о достоинствах сочинений Шекспира. Преданный вам Лев Толстой. 3 дек. 1906. Примечания Печатается по копировальной книге № 7, л. 183. Дата Толстого старого стиля, что определяется почтовым штемпелем письма адресата.

Часть текста: about 25 roubles per head (the children enclosed). We hope to augment the fund but it would (be) very desirable to have an accurate calculation of the costs necessary for the emigration for a family, say of life or six members. If you would be so kind to make this calculation and to send it to us, it would be a great help for us. With kind regard yours faithfully Leo Tolstoy. 16 August 1898. Джемсу Мевору. Торонто. Милостивый государь, Я только что получил ваше письмо и немедленно отвечаю: 1) Духоборы—лучшие землепашцы в России. 2) Они использовали бы данные им земли и семена наилучшим способом. 3) Они не только не предаются половым излишествам, а напротив того, ведут самую целомудренную семейную жизнь. 4) Они применяются ко всякому климату. 5) Они будут посылать своих детей в народные школы, если их не будут принуждать к религиозному образованию. 6) Чтобы ответить на шестой пункт, возможно ли одной партии от 500 до 1000 человек переселиться сразу, необходимо знать, сколько понадобится денег на их переезд. Фонд для переселения в данную минуту всего около 25 р. на душу (включая детей). Мы надеемся увеличить этот фонд, но было бы желательно иметь точный расчет необходимых расходов для переселения семейства, скажем, в...

Часть текста: г. Июня 17/29. Я. П. My dear Kenworthy, Olga Konstantinovna 1 has received a letter from Anna Tchertkoff, in which the latter says that you have advertised, or published in the papers that you are authorised to publish my works, or something to that effect. For fear this should lead to misunderstanding, or undesirable complications, I write at once to remind you of what I said at Pirogovo, namely, that I had already handed over all business matters connected with the publication of my works to Vlad[imir] Tchertkoff and therefore, that though I was very pleased that such a serie of publications, as you suggested, should be brought out under your auspices, yet such authority as I felt myself able to give, could only be given subjected to Tchertkoff’s approval. 2 It follows that as far as I am concerned you have no authority to act in this matter without the full consent of Tchertkoff. I hope you will come to a complete understanding with him. I am repeating the content of this letter to Tchertkoff. I have written a little preface to Anatomy of Misery, 3 but before sending it to you I wish to read the book once more. If you have a disposable copy please send it to me. Affectionately yours, Leo Tolstoy. 29 June 1900. Дорогой Кенворти, Ольга Константиновна 1 получила письмо от Анны Чертковой, в котором она пишет, что вы объявили или опубликовали в газетах, будто вы уполномочены издавать мои сочинения или что-то в этом роде. Опасаясь, чтобы это не повело к недоразумениям или нежелательным осложнениям, я [немедля пишу,...

Часть текста: times I think that «verily, verily I say unto you the hour is coming and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the son of God». I think so because not only in you but in many people of different culture I see this awakening consciousness that we are deceived, that the organization of our life is a mockery of the teaching of Christ which we profess. That this life is miserable and sinful, and that it could he blissful and holy. And that for to attain this end we have only to shake off the ancient imposture in which we now live. Do you know the writings of Matthew Arnold? His «Literature and Dogma», Parker’s discourse on religious subjects, Garrison’s «Non-resistance» and his «declaration of sentiments»? All this and many others is the same that you and I speak and write of, viz. that Christ gave us a programme of life as an architect would have given the plan of a building and a deceiver would have stolen the plan and put a false one in it’s stead, to compromise the architect. I think that many people over the world are begining to get aware that they are Labouring under a mistake and turn to the true teaching of Christ. I think that the hour is coming, but that we must remember the words said by Christ to his disciples. «Be ye therefore wise as serpentes, and harmless as doves». We must remember that every fault of ours destroys God’s work. And therefore according to your wish I do the following comments upon your book. The faults in your book are: 1) That you affirm the dogmas of creation, redemption, resurrection and of the reality of hell and eternal torments. This affirmation cannot be proved, and cannot help to lead a Christian life and must be repulsive to reasonable people. 2) That you admit divorce, which Christ most peremptorily prohibited. Divorce cannot be admitted because it cannot be left to the will of every man to decide when ...

Часть текста: There is in that Colony a British Indian population of nearly 13,000. These Indians have for several years laboured under various legal disabilities. The prejudice against colour and in some respect against Asiatics, is intense in that country. It is largely due, so far as Asiatics are concerned, to trade jealousy. The climax was reached three years ago, when a law passed specially apllicable to Asiatics 1 , which I and many others considered to be degrading and calculated to unman those to whom it was applicable. I felt that submission to a law of this nature, was inconsistent with the spirit of true religion. I and some of my friends were, and still are firm believers in the doctrine of nonresistance to evil. I had the privilege of studying your writings also, which left a deep impression on my mind. British Indians, before whom the position was fully explained, accepted the advice that we should not submit to the legislation, but that we should suffer imprisonment, or whatever other penalties the law may impose for its breach. The result has been that nearly one half of the Indian population, that was unable to stand the heat of the struggle to suffer the hardships of imprisonment, have withdrawn from the Transvaal rather than submit to a law which they have considered degrading. Of the other half, nearly 2,500 have for conscience’sake allowed themselves to be imprisoned — some as many as five time. The imprisonments have varied from four days to six months; in the majority of cases with hard labour. Many have...

Часть текста: these assemblies ought not to be devoted, as they usually are, to public and uniform public prayers, firstly, because the repetition on Sunday in the same words is perfectly useless, as it very soon becomes a mechanical procedure; secondly and chiefly, because in the Gospels this error is plainly pointed out and it is there definitely said (Math. VI), that one should not pray in public places, but in solitude, which is corroborated both by the reason and the experience of every man, who has ever sincerely prayed to God, as the assembly of people only distracts, makes one’s thoughts wander and diverts them. I think that Sunday rest and dedication of this day to spiritual exercise may take place in the most various forms. One may suggest, that men of the same spirit, meeting together on Sunday, should bring to their meeting such religious books or articles which they find in ancient and modern literature and read and discuss them together; one may suggest, that meeting together on Sunday men of the same spirit should arrange dinners for the poor and themselves serve those dinners; one may suggest, that meeting together men of the same spirit should confess their sins to each other and discuss them. In short one can think of a hundred different forms of worship, which should all have for their aim a mutual spiritual help and should not be mechanical, but sensible. 2) Do I believe in the resurrection and that there is a hereafter? I believe in true, i. e. indestructible life which Christ has disclosed to us and for the which death does not exist. But this life should in no-wise be understood as a resurrection to future life, ...

Часть текста: В[олконскому] 1 мое истинное отношенiе къ этому делу, которое состоитъ въ томъ, что я не могу сочувствовать никакимъ военнымъ подвигамъ, хотя бы это были Давидъ противъ десятка Голiафовъ, а сочувствую только темъ людямъ, которые уничтожаютъ причины: престижъ золота, богатства, престижъ военной славы и главную причину всего зла, престижъ патрiотизма и ложной религiи, оправдывающей братоубiйство. Я думаю, что не стоитъ того печатать въ газетахъ опроверженiе ложно приписываемаго мне мненiя. На всякое чиханье не наздраствуешься. Я, н[а]п[римеръ], получаю въ последнее время письма изъ Америки, въ кот[орыхъ] одни упрекаютъ, а другiе одобряютъ меня за то, что я отрекся отъ всехъ своихъ убежденiй. Стоитъ ли опровергать, когда завтра могутъ быть выдуманы 20 новыхъ известiй, кот[орыя] будутъ содействовать наполненiю столбцовъ газеты и кармановъ издателей. Впрочемъ, делайте, какъ найдете нужнымъ. Здоровье мое все нехорошо, но т[акъ] к[акъ] для того, чтобы умереть, есть только одно средство — быть больнымъ, также какъ и для того, чтобы перенестись съ места на место одно средство: сесть въ экипажъ или вагонъ, то я ничего не имею противъ...

Часть текста: Sachaline. 1 Please excuse me for not answering your last letter. 2 I did write a long answer 3 but did not send it because it was intended for your dinner and I could not refrain from expressing my opinion about the growing of American patriotism for which I am very very sorry, and I was afraid that this letter should be desagreable to your friends who are so well disposed to me. * Yesterday I received the book «The soul of a people» 4 and thank you very much for sending it to me. I read the first chapter and think it very good. I am reading the Social Gospel and like very much your articles in it. You are touching in them always the true key-note. Wishing you to progress in the same direction I am yours truly Leo Tolstoy. 29 November 1898. *The idea of this letter 5 is expressed in my article: The two wars, 6 which must appear one of these days and your opinion of which I am anxious to know. Дорогой Кросби, Это письмо передаст вам мой друг Волкенштейн, который едет на Сахалин, чтобы соединиться со своей женой, политической мученицей. 1 Пожалуйста, извините, что я долго не отвечал на ваше последнее письмо. 2 Я написал длинный ответ, но не послал его, 3 так...

I have given to everybody the right to translate and to publish them. But I am sure you would not like to interfere with Tchertkoff who has begun the publishing and has for so many years worked at it. I hope and wish that you should agree with him in this matter. Yours truly, Leo Tolstoy. 2 July 1900. Дорогой Кенворти, Я забыл подписать маленькое предисловие, посланное вам Син-Джоном. Буду рад, если вы найдете его пригодным.
