LEV NIKOLAEVICH has entered the Waiting Room for this meeting:

In FALL 2022 Learn about the great literary works of Lev Tolstoy IN PERSON

Tolstoy SLA317H1
Time: Wednesdays, 12:00-14:00
Location: Alumni Hall 107
Instructor: Prof. Donna Orwin

Lev Nikolaevich Tolstoy once remarked (in 1909) that “the secret of being boring is to say everything.” Long though his works often are, Tolstoy did not fall into that trap. His fiction seems to contain a clear moral message, but he wants his readers to draw their own conclusions from what he shows them. This course will introduce students to the major works of Tolstoy and will study a few of them in depth. Given the current political situation, we will look at the political-cultural implications and background of each text we read. As much as possible, close reading will be emphasized, and the instructor will bring film clips and art materials into the discussion.
