About this Leo Tolstoy print Your print is handmade with love, using fancy-pants matte printing paper that lasts for years. It's oddly satisfying to watch people's reactions to these posters. Prepare yourself for plenty of "where did you get that?" and be warned that they're wickedly potent conversation starters! Wow, these posters feel expensive! Let's face it, a lot of posters look and feel cheap. You know that overly glossy style that reminds you of that CD shop on your local high street that always seems to be just about to go out of business but has somehow still been there 20 years? That's not the look we're going for here. That's why we've spared no expense finding a grade of paper that looks and feels just right. You'll probably like it. It's satisfyingly weighty, with a matte texture that just feels a bit more high-end than that glossy 80s-style "CD shop" finish. Most importantly, you'll feel proud to hang it up in your living room. Or kitchen. Or bedroom, pantry, fine wine cellar, trampoline room, secret underground dungeon... we don't judge. Prints with personality No matter your home decor style, these posters instantly transform the look of a room. They can add the cherry on top of a bold and adventurous room layout, or breathe fresh life into a plain one. Fully backed by our Conversation Starter Guarantee! If you hang this poster where guests can see it, and it doesn't start a single conversation in a year, we'll give you 100% of your money back. Yes, we're serious. Shipping & Delivery Shipping is FREE and always will be. None of that "spend this much to qualify for free shipping" stuff. Naturally, this means delivery usually takes a week or two, as we're only a small business (and not an evil trillion-dollar conglomerate with an army of overworked employees). We can often get your poster to your doorstep in a week, but we'd suggest allowing 2 weeks to be on the safe side. What to expect What you see is always what you get. The poster that turns up at your front door will be exactly like the one you see in the pictures (although we're often told they look better in person!). If you'd prefer to have your new pride and joy pre-framed, drop us a line and we'll create a custom order for you. If not, don't worry—we deliberately make our posters in standard sizes, so you can easily find a frame for your new wall decor at a sensible price. And of course, we carefully hand-pack each poster to ensure that it reaches you in perfect condition. And if anything goes wrong? Well, there's the upside of not being a big stuffy corporate. We're a small, friendly team who are easy to talk to and quick to reply. Although issues with orders are rare, we're always just a message away to fix them when they do happen.

Book Synopsis In the middle of the night of October 28, 1910, Leo Tolstoy, the most famous man in Russia, vanished. A secular saint revered for his literary genius, pacificism, and dedication to the earth and the poor, Tolstoy had left his home in secret to embark on a final journey. His disappearance immediately became a national sensation. Two days later he was located at a monastery, but was soon gone again. When he turned up next at Astapovo, a small, remote railway station, all of Russia was following the story. As he lay dying of pneumonia, he became the hero of a national narrative of immense significance.In The Death of Tolstoy, William Nickell describes a Russia engaged in a war of words over how this story should be told. The Orthodox Church, which had excommunicated Tolstoy in 1901, first argued that he had returned to the fold and then came out against his beliefs more vehemently than ever. Police spies sent by the state tracked his every move, fearing that his death would embolden his millions of supporters among the young, the peasantry, and the intelligentsia. Representatives of the press converged on the stationhouse at Astapovo where Tolstoy lay ill, turning his death into a feverish media event that strikingly anticipated today's no-limits coverage of celebrity lives--and deaths.Drawing on newspaper accounts, personal correspondence, police reports, secret circulars, telegrams, letters, and memoirs, Nickell shows the public spectacle of Tolstoy's last days to be a vivid reflection of a fragile, anxious empire on the eve of war and revolution. Review Quotes William Nickell describes the death drama itself as Russia's first great mass media event. The room in the stationmaster's house in Astapovo where the dying Tolstoy was lodged was the eye of a news hurricane.... It comes through from Nickell's account that Russians believed something died for ever at Astapovo.--James Meek "London Review of Books" About the Author William Nickell is Licker Research Chair, Cowell College, University of California, Santa Cruz.
