Tolstoi was born on the 28th of August, 1828, at Yasnaya Polyana, a village near Inla, in the government of Inla, " I have a sense of lunar remoteness in him. It is as if these geographical expressions were descriptive of localities in the ungazetteered regions of the moon, and yet this far-fetched Russian nobleman is precisely the human being with whom at this moment I find myself in the greatest intimacy, not because I know him, but because I know myself through him, because he has written more faithfully of the life common to all men, the universal life which is the most personal life, than any other author whom I have read.
