Gervaise Tassis, The works of Lev Tolstoi reflected in Mark Aldanov's novels: a permanent dialogue.
The famous Russian émigré writer Mark Aleksandrovich Aldanov (his real name was Landau, 1886-1957) has been all his life an untiring reader of the works of his favourite writer Lev Nikolaevich Tolstoi. Nevertheless he has never entirely understood this great Russian writer though he was full of admiration for him, he just could not understand Tolstoi's faith, Tolstoi's quest of God. Aldanov could only see in him the writer of genius, the author of the yet unequalled masterpiece War and peace. But in fact, Aldanov reader of War and peace tells us more about his own art of historical novel, and about his own method which is much more scrupulous and historical than Tolstoi's. It clearly appears in a comparison between their two Napoleons. And so we are able to see in Aldanov's novels how enthusiastically, but at the same time, how reducingly, he always kept on reading the works of L. N. Tolstoi. Source : Éditeur (via Persée) |
