TOLSTOY SERIES / VOLUME II
(Leo Tolstoy's correspondence with Molokan writer
Fedor Alekseevich Zheltov)
This correspondence, the fruit of our close co-operation over many years [between the Slavic Research Group at the University of Ottawa and the State L. N. Tolstoy Museum in Moscow], together with our previous publications of Tolstoy's correspondence with Petr Verigin, Mikhail Novikov and Timofej Bondarev, forms a unique tetralogy -- an exceptionally significant dialogue between Leo Tolstoy, in his many years' search for the meaning of life among the peasantry, and four peasant sectarians, from whom he learnt a great deal. -- "From the editor" (p. ix)

THIS VOLUME
comprises thirty-seven letters from Molokan sectarian writer
Fedor
Alekseevich Zheltov to Leo Tolstoy, never before published,
along with
fourteen
letters from Tolstoy to Zheltov
(included
in the Jubilee Edition of the Complete Collected Works of
Tolstoy),
all written
between 1887 and 1909.
The letters
reveal a sharing of thoughts and experiences on the part of
two religious
thinkers who were both earnestly striving to
discover
the
meaning of Christianity and biblical truth in their own lives,
each contributing
to the other's quest through their mutual correspondence.
