SOME PRESS OPINIONS
“In these few pages Gorky has laid bare, not completely, but yet mercilessly, the soul of Tolstoi, and one draws back baffled.”—Glasgow Herald.
“If the purpose of biography is to thrill the reader, Gorky has succeeded in equalling Cellini and in outdoing Audrey.”—Mr. Edmund Gosse in The Sunday Times.
“The book did not horrify me; it held me breathless.”—“Wayfarer” in The Nation.
“... a masterpiece: so long as men are interested in one another it must live.”—Time and Tide.
“We quote and quote because nearly every line of those brief reflections or criticisms has its own terrifying clearness.”—The Observer.
“Sometimes by accident an untouched amateur photograph of a great personage will drop out of an album or of an old drawer, and instantly the etchings, the engravings, the portraits by Watts and Millais seem insipid and lifeless. Such is the effect of Gorky’s Notes on Tolstoi.”—New Statesman.
“A book of frank and fearless truth.”—Mr. Hamilton Fyfe.
“All Tolstoi is to be found in it.”—The Open Court.
