Résumé anglais Tolstoj is dead…' A Worldwide Event and its Impact in France Tolstoj's death created a considerable international stir which has undoubtedly been facilitated by the development of modern means of communication and by the dramatic circumstances of his death and the announcement, shortly before, of his sudden departure from Yasnaya Polyana. But neither the exceptional importance of his literary work, nor his radical interpretation of the Christian message are sufficient to explain this phenomenon. Above all, his late literary works, and particularly Resurrection, in which the preacher and the famous writer are mingled, have made of his message the incarnation of the feelings of unrest and anxiety of the end of the XIXth century. The article insists on the particular echoe of his death in France, a country which played an important part in the distribution of the complete works of the writer, and where the homage to Tolstoj has given the opportunity to the ‘ Franco-Russian Alliance' to show some hostility towards Tsarism.
