Scans

[edit]
Looks like page 3 is missing from the second scan. --Mpaa (talk) 23:06, 10 February 2012 (UTC)Reply
These are different translations, for scans of Maude’s translation see here or here. --Jan Kameníček (talk) 14:05, 10 December 2022 (UTC)Reply

translator not mentioned?

[edit]

While the title line states "translator not mentioned", the translator seems to make occasional comments signed "A.M." For example Chapter III [Footnote: Russians generally make a distinction between Europeans and Russians. - A.M.]

Is this not indicative of Aylmer Maude being the translator?

Chapter VI [Footnote: Tolstoy's version differs slightly in a few places from our own Authorized or Revised version. I have followed his text, for in a letter to Fet, quoted on p. 18, vol. ii, of my "Life of Tolstoy," he says that "The Authorized English version [of Ecclesiastes] is bad." - A.M.]

Aylmer Maude wrote "Life of Tolstoy"
