Change of mind
September 1869 due to the way through the Arzanas, late at night in the hotel suddenly felt a never had sadness and terror. This is the so-called "Alzanas horror". In the autumn of 1868 to the summer of 1869, he was interested in Schopenhauer's philosophy and was affected. From the early 1970s, he began a new ideological crisis and a new period of exploration. He studied various philosophical and religious books and could not find the answer. These thoughts and emotions in the creation of the "Anna Karenina" in a clear reflection. He visits the priests, the bishops, the monks and the monks, and acquiesns the peasant, the independent believer, He finally denied the official church, accepted the patriarchal peasant faith.
Finally, under the influence of the new revolutionary situation and the famine of the whole nation in the 1970s and 1980s, the class was rejected, and the transformation of the world outlook, which began in the 1960s, was completed and transferred to the position of the patriarchal peasants. In the "Confessions" (1879 ~ 1880) and other papers, he extensively expounded the process of their ideological transformation. However, he opposed the violent revolution, to promote Christian love and self-cultivation, from the religion, ethics to find a solution to social contradictions. Torres is rich in originality. From then on Tolstoy to abandon their own and the surrounding aristocratic life, from time to time to engage in physical labor, their own land, sewing shoes, farmers for the house, exclusion of luxury, vegetarian vegetarian. He also changed the view of literature and art, denounced his past works of art, including "war and peace" and other masterpiece as "master-style game", and the focus shifted to the thesis and political theory to directly promote their own society, philosophy, religion Point of view, exposing the sovereign bourgeois society of all kinds of evil.

Theme of the work
Tolstoy in the novel on the human nature of a lot of thinking, from these thinking can be seen in the real world of Tolstoy's spiritual world, Tolstoy's thinking of human nature by the Russian history and reality inspired by the time On the one hand, the traditional Russian is the patriarchal society, the Orthodox determines the way people thought and feelings, Tolstoy is also affected by the Orthodox, regardless of his attitude is accepted or retained; the other hand, the European The spirit of the Enlightenment also deeply influenced Russia, which largely shook the foundation of the Russian tradition, and the influence of the Enlightenment on Tolstoy was remarkable, which made Tolstoy suspicion of the basic doctrines of the Orthodox Church , He does not think about believing as a general believer. However, Tolstoy did not completely move towards the European individualistic enlightenment position, so his thinking about human nature is often free between the two, sometimes like a believer, sometimes like a humanist.
Tolstoy's works have utopian ideas, mainly for the anti-Hangzhou violence and enslavement, against the land private system, against the advocacy of capitalist material and "evolution", requires the pursuit of legitimate life obligations and reasonable laws of life, return to health Of the farming life, through all the labor and moral practice to establish a brotherhood, equality, harmony, fraternity belongs to the whole human world "heaven".
Artistic characteristics
Tolstoy created epic novels. The fact of history combines the imagination of art, unrestrained brushwork and delicate description; in the huge group of images show a personal face, epic solemnly interspersed with lyrical monologue, change thousands of wonders. He is good at harnessing the structure of the multi-clue, a multitude of things, convergence seamless; but also break through the novel "closed" form, magnificent, like life without beginning or end.
Tolstoy's artistic charm, not only to reproduce the macro world, but also to describe the microscopic world. In the world literature in an unprecedented grasp of the dialectical development of the mind, meticulous description of the psychological changes in the outside world under the influence of the process; and deep subconscious, it is expressed in the relationship between mutual understanding and harmony. Tolstoy's artistic power is real, it is manifested in character shaping. Truthfully depicting the multifacetedness, abundance and complexity of the inner heart, not only to write a prominent state or predominant state of mind. Not conceal the shortcomings of the characters, do not choke the eyes of the people exposed the flash of light. Not exaggerated, not exaggerated, not idealized or comic, always with the real objective of the description, to show its true colors, which in the ordinary see great, or on the contrary, in the ordinary phenomenon shows its terrible. Depict the development and change of character, natural muddy and not reveal the traces of ax.
Tolstoy's style is characterized by simplicity. And strive to the most full and most true reflection of the real life or expression of their own ideas, therefore, although the art of demanding, but not simply to win the skills, not the pursuit of formal exquisite, do not avoid the lengthy compound sentence, The greatest expressive force.
In his later years, in the psychological analysis to make concise, do not write the whole process of experience, only to write the psychological process of the various stages of the main link; sometimes take the play method, through action and dialogue to show. Do not write the order of the development process, and write a sudden change caused by a sudden accident. In the structure, in order to show the awakening of characters, often using flashback method; in order to focus, the novel is no longer with more clues, and gradually expand the way with a single clue. In the language, then strive to simple and concise and easy to understand, close to folk tales.
