"Love. The reason
I dislike that word
is that it means too
much for me, far
more than you can
understand."

Leo Tolstoy, "Anna Karenina" 📚

'The Vampire' (1841) is a gothic novella by Aleksey Konstantinovich Tolstoy, first published under the pseudonym of Krasnorogsky. The inspiration for the story was Tolstoy's stay in Italy in 1838. Tolstoy's writing on vampires was partly influenced by 'The Vampyre' by Polidori.

A query for Russian historians: what was the assumed “normal” stature for a man in this era? Tolstoy seems inordinately fixated - every man is introduced thus: “of medium height” “unusually tall” “not very tall” etc

Tolstoy spent 1863 to 1868 writing and rewriting War and Peace. In those five years, his new bride Sophia gave birth to 4 children, while copying and editing the full manuscript 7 separate times. A different kind of serial rhythm.

Tolstoy gives us this wonderfully crafted line from Anna Karenina:

“He stepped down, trying not to look long at her, as if she were the sun, yet he saw her, like the sun, even without looking.”
