description: "His renunciation of the past, his striving for clarity, complete clarity, a complete parting with the past, and his quest for a new road that would be clear to all the people, made Tolstoy's greatness and raised him above the horizon like a snowclad mountain range."He made the soul of man cognizable, and in the old he found the new which was not only truthful but also beautiful."Victor Shklovsky
