Zusatztext "The great Russian Realists were also great lay psychologists. In a century bewitched by norms and the pursuit of scientific truths, they set out to defend the absolute reality of each person's subjectivity. Orwin's wonderful study helps us to see, once again, how subtle are the narrative techniques that transmit ordinary irreducible life and why the quest to legitimize individualized experience results paradoxically in a Russian novel where each reader (from a vast variety of eras, cultures, languages) feels uniquely 'at home.'" Informationen zum Autor Donna Tussing Orwin is Professor of Russian Literature in the Department of Slavic Studies at the University of Toronto. She is the author of the prize-winning study Tolstoy's Art and Thought, 1847-1880 (1993), editor (with Robin Feuer Miller) of Kathryn Feuer's Tolstoy and the Genesis of War and Peace (1996), and editor of The Cambridge Companion to Tolstoy (2002). She was editor of Tolstoy Studies Journal for eight years, and is now President of the Tolstoy Society.
