Because he was old. Balding + grey/white hair + interesting facial hair can look cool.

I'm going through Confession right now and I really do feel that I'm literally him except I'm less privileged and far less confident to act like he did.

Does any author portray and relate the concept of love better than Tolstoy does in War and Peace?
The epilogue lads....the epilogue.....the love.....I feel it in my SOUL. I’ve never felt anything like this before from a novel.
Is the ultimate overarching theme of War and Peace....love?

Been going through a bit of Tolstoy. Do you think he’s good? I think he’s good.

I am very interested in the works of Leo Tolstoy and how his life affected his fiction writings. I have searched for documents or other such things, but am having trouble finding any. Do any of you have anything that might be of use? Also, I would prefer scholarly texts. Thank you.
Oh, and Russian literature thread.

>In truth, if boys and girls are born equal, the little girls find themselves in a better situation. In the first place, the young girl is not subjected to the perverting conditions to which we are subjected. She has neither cigarettes, nor wine, nor cards, nor comrades, nor public houses, nor public functions. And then the chief thing is that she is physically pure, and that is why, in marrying, she is superior to her husband. She is superior to man as a young girl, and when she becomes a wife in our society, where there is no need to work in order to live, she becomes superior, also, by the gravity of the acts of generation, birth, and nursing.
What did he mean by this

>doorstopper novels detailing the interminably boring minutiae of Russian aristocratic family disputes

Why hasn't this fraud of a writer been cleansed from the literary canon?
