À propos de cet e-book
In "Yasnaya Polyana School," Leo Tolstoy presents an innovative exploration of educational philosophy, intertwining narrative with his deep convictions about the transformative power of schooling. The text reflects Tolstoy's commitment to fostering moral and intellectual development over rote learning, advocating for a holistic approach that emphasizes emotional intelligence and personal growth. Set against the backdrop of his estate, Yasnaya Polyana, the book serves as both a practical guide and a profound critique of contemporary educational systems, embodying Tolstoy's characteristic prose—concise yet rich with ethical inquiry and empathetic insight. Tolstoy, acclaimed for his masterworks such as "War and Peace" and "Anna Karenina," was also a passionate advocate for social reform and educational reform, drawing from his own experiences of disillusionment with traditional schooling. Founding a school for peasant children at Yasnaya Polyana, he sought to implement his progressive ideas in a tangible context. His own philosophical evolution and moral dilemmas are intricately interwoven in this work, showcasing his relentless pursuit of truth and betterment for society. This essential text stands as a beacon for educators, students, and parents alike, offering valuable insights into the nature of learning and the importance of fostering a nurturing environment. Tolstoy's reflections provide not only a historical perspective but also provoke critical thought on modern educational practices, making "Yasnaya Polyana School" a must-read for those seeking to understand the intersection of education and ethics.
À propos de l'auteur
Count Lev Nikolayevich Tolstoy, known more commonly as Leo Tolstoy, was a towering figure in world literature, renowned for his masterful storytelling and profound philosophical inquiries. Born on September 9, 1828, in Yasnaya Polyana, Russia, Tolstoy emerged from an aristocratic background to become one of the most influential authors of the 19th and early 20th centuries. His literary works are characterized by realistic narrative and deep moral and ethical explorations, which have left an indelible mark on the development of modern literature. Tolstoy's contributions to the world of literature include such classics as 'War and Peace' (1869) and 'Anna Karenina' (1877), which epitomize his gift for complex, character-driven storytelling interlaced with thoughtful commentary on society, politics, and human nature. In 'Yasnaya Polyana School' (1862), Tolstoy outlined his educational philosophy and experiments at the school he founded on his estate, representing his lifelong commitment to social reform and spiritual growth. His introspective and often spiritually oriented works, including 'The Kingdom of God Is Within You' (1894), further demonstrate his quest for truth and nonviolent resistance, a significant influence on figures like Mahatma Gandhi and Martin Luther King, Jr. Tolstoy's literary style is distinct in its extensive detail, psychological depth, and use of realism, making him an essential figure in the pantheon of great authors. He passed away on November 20, 1910, leaving behind a legacy as a literary giant, moral thinker, and social reformer.
