The Gospel in Brief is a 1892 synthesis of the four gospels of the New Testament into one narrative of the life of Jesus by Russian author Leo Tolstoy. Included in a larger volume in 1892, the 1896 account published as The Gospel in Brief is notable in that it excludes many of the supernatural aspects of the original gospels, such as their claims of Jesus's divine origins and ability to perform miracles. Instead, the work focuses on Jesus's teachings to his followers, presumably those which Tolstoy found most compelling. The Gospel in Brief is thought by some to be deeply reflective of Tolstoy's own interpretation of Christianity. The Gospel in Brief is said to be the result of Tolstoy's close study of the original Koine Greek New Testament. The account presented in Tolstoy's gospel is also notable in its sharp contrast with the contemporaneous views of the Russian Orthodox Church. Tolstoy was a fierce critic of the Russian Orthodox Church, which went so far as to excommunicate him for his writings on Christianity in 1901.; 8vo 8" - 9" tall.

Housed in a custom half morocco clamshell box made by the Harcourt Bindery. Vladimir Nabokov called Leo Tolstoy's Anna Karenina "one of the greatest love stories in world literature." Matthew Arnold claimed it was not so much a work of art as "a piece of life." Set in imperial Russia, Anna Karenina is a rich and complex meditation on passionate love and disastrous infidelity. First issued serially in 1873; first published in book form in Moscow in 1878. Upon first reading it, Dostoyevsky wrote: âAnna Karenina is sheer perfection as a work of art. No European work of fiction of our present day comes anywhere near it.â.

First Edition. A later issue of the first English-language edition. Octavo (19cm). In publisher's tan paper wraps, printed in black; [ii], [i]-viii, [5]-773, [5]pp; one-page publisher's ad at front, 4pp at rear, and ads to verso of front cover, recto and verso of rear cover. A sound copy, rubbed, cover with general moderate wear and soiling, rear wrapper detached but present, minor losses to front lower corner, head, and tail, internally lightly browned: Very Good. A late issue of the first English translation, in scarce original paper wrappers. The setting appears to be identical to the first printing, with the Crowell imprint on the title page, but this copy lacks the Rand Avery imprint on the copyright page. Translations of Tolstoy's other works listed in the ads date the issue to at least 1889. The publisher's address on the ads and wrappers (46 E. 14th St) dates it even later, to between 1893 and 1900. However, we find no auction records for any other copy in paper wraps. LINE, ETTLINGER & GLADSTONE Tolstoi 39.
