wer of Darkness' has not been acted.
It ought to be done. It is a stupendous tragedy; the effect
on the stage is unparalleled."
=Their Wide Range of Sentiment=
"Between Tolstoy's two great plays," says the translator,
"'The Power of Darkness' and 'The Fruits of Culture,' the
contrast is very striking. The first is intensely moral,
terrible in its earnestness and force.... Very different is
'Fruits of Culture,' a play brimful of laughter and
merriment."
Handsomely printed on deckle-edge paper, gilt-top,
half-tone frontispiece, showing Anisya and Nikita in "The
Power of Darkness," cover design in gold, extra-quality
ribbed olive cloth, 250 + xii pages. Price $1.50,

A CLEAR AND HOPEFUL EXPOSITION OF TOLSTOY'S TEACHINGS
"Students of the master will find this little book
indispensable."--_San Francisco News-Letter._
Tolstoy and His Problems
Essays by AYLMER MAUDE
Each essay in this volume expresses, in one form or other,
Tolstoy's views of life; and the main object of the book is
not to praise his views, but to explain them. Being the
only Englishman who in recent years has had the advantage
of intimate personal intercourse, continued over a period
of some years, with Tolstoy, Mr. Maude is well qualified
for his present work.
