Über diesen Titel

Reseña del editor:

What is Art? What is value? What is good taste? What makes a cultured class? Tolstoy wrestled with these questions for fifteen years, and this book is the result of his fascination with the evolution of art, and its relationship with religion, commerce, and science. As the growing digitization of our world continues to provide new ways to create and consume art, and raises questions about its quality and its control, What is Art? challenges us to revert to the visceral, the authentic, and to think carefully about how art can shape our collective future.

Biografía del autor:

Lev Nikolayevich Tolstoy was born in 1828, in the Tula province of Russia, into a family of Russian nobility. In the early 1850s, he spent some time in the army, where he began to write, and following travels in Eu¬rope he made a dramatic u-turn to become a spiritual anarchist. Most fa¬mous for the epic tomes Anna Karenina and War and Peace, he was also a philosophical and political writer of significant scope and influence.
