Abstract

This article, continuing the series of publications of the author on the subject “Tolstoy in Italy”, presents the material on the problem of apprehension of Leo Tolstoy’s work by the Italian literary criticism of the 50–70th of the 20th century. In Italy and other countries, the name of Leo Tolstoy, artist and philosopher, throughout decades oftentimes served for buttressing completely antagonistic political, moral and aesthetic theories. The author is reviewing the most significant, to her opinion, works and evaluations pertaining to the life and work of this outstanding Russian writer.
