George Steiner argues that the fundamental opposition between Tolstoy and Dostoevsky represents a profound and enduring divide in human thought — between the epic and the dramatic, the Homeric and the Shakespearean, the pagan and the Christian. With sweeping intellectual command, Steiner analyses the two writers' philosophies, narrative techniques, and moral visions, drawing on a rich breadth of European literary tradition. The result is a brilliant, combative essay that illuminates not only Tolstoy and Dostoevsky, but the very nature of great literature itself.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48956430909659,"sku":"2026200008807-SECONDHAND","price":10.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/aef13c55-6900-4954-9428-23c74dd20940.png?v=1783500951","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200008807-secondhand-tolstoy-or-dostoevsky","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
