In early October, crowds joined Mona Nener, Vice-President of Research, and Antoni Lewkowicz, Dean, Faculty of Arts, in collaboration with the University of Ottawa Press, to launch My Life by Sofia Andreevna Tolstay, edited by Andrew Donskov and translated by John Woodsworth and Arkadi Klioutchanski. Please click on any of the images to launch the gallery for this wonderful event.
Nearly 150 years after the publication of War and Peace, Lev Nikolaevich Tolstoy continues to be regarded as one of the world’s most accomplished writers. But until now, little attention has been paid to the person closest to him -- his wife, Sofia Andreevna Tolstaya.
My Life is an intimate and honest portrait of one of the greatest literary minds of all time and the most important primary document about Tolstoy to be published in decades.
