Podcast appearances and mentions of Leo Tolstoy

Calendario de la Sabiduría fue la última obra importante de León Tolstoi. En ella, quiso hacer un compendio de la sabiduría de los siglos. Lo planteó a modo de calendario, con una recopilación de citas y pensamientos diario. En palabras suyas: "Sé que comunicarse con grandes pensadores como Sócrates, Epicteto., Arnold, Parker, etc., proporciona una gran fuerza interior, calma y felicidad... Nos hablan de lo que es más importante para la humanidad, del sentido de la vida y de la virtud... Me gustaría crear un libro... en el que pudiera hablar a una persona acerca de su vida, y acerca del Buen Camino de la Vida".

After Oleksandr Usyk defeated Tyson Fury in late 2024 for the heavyweight championship, the Ukrainian boxer held up a sabre that once belonged to the 17th Century Ukrainian Cossack Hetman,  Ivan Mapeza, who this episode is dedicated to.    Usyk's fortitude spoke to Ukraine's resilience against a larger foe who initiated the type of vainglorious War Tolstoy condemns, with all of his soul, in W&P.Showcasing the weapon was a transcendent moment of Usyk bringing history to Life.  This ability is something Tolstoy shares given who often he reaches into the past to make literary points. In W&P, for example, Tolstoy cites the Classical world and more recent influences. He skillfully adapts the famous quote from Voltaire: "If god did not exist, it would be necessary to invent him." The Frenchman also had a well-known correspondence with Catherine II, who some of W&P's characters look to as illustrative of an idealized past. Yet part of her reputation involves keeping so many under serfdom. Voltaire urged her to release her serfs.Quite forgotten is how Voltaire contributed to Mazepa becoming an icon of the Romantic age. Victor Hugo, Lord Byron & Franz List, also elevated Mazepa to a status Tolstoy himself briefly references in his 1857 work “Youth.” Tolstoy wrote that if he reaches the age of 70, he envisions that a lovely young woman could love him as easily as she could love….a Mazeppa.Mazepa was born to a noble Cossack family near Kyiv. His father was a town otaman (leader) and his mother instilled in her son a deep devotion to God and Cossack culture. Mazepa received a European education and served at the Polish royal court.  While quite young, he is said to have fallen in love with the wife of a Polish nobleman and to have been punished through being tied to a wild horse and carried back to the Land of the Cossacks, where he was adopted by one of their communities and rose to leader.  He was Hetman from 1687 – 1709.    Mazepa remains a key figure in Ukrainian-Russian relations given he decided to turn his allegiance to Sweden over the Czar during  the Great Northern War. This conflict was fought between Sweden and an anti-Swedish coalition led by Moscow. This intermittent affair lasted about 20 years and involved control over Northern Europe and the Baltics.  Sweden initially did well causing Peter to move his troops inward and draw Charles to invade.The conflict made its way to Mazepa's Cossacks,  whose status and allegiance greatly changed over the previous generation. Since 1654, many were uneasy allies with the Czar after withdrawing support for Poland.  They now felt subject to excessive demands for troops to be used in projects like building canals and fortresses, where they could be worked to sickness and death and used as proverbial “cannon fodder”Thus, in 1708, Mazepa aligned with Charles, giving him 5,000 Cossacks.  Mazepa felt he was choosing the lesser of two evils. Later that year, there was a race of belligerents to Mazepa's home city of Baturyn.  20,000 Russian soldiers commanded by Alexander Menshikov overwhelmed this military arsenal and food store. When the city fell, there was this infamous slaughter of the civilian population.   A number were tied to makeshift crosses or boards and floated down the local river.The next summer, on June  27, 1709, the armies faced off near Poltava, where Peter & Charles were on-hand directing troops. The Czar prevailed and this turn in history explains why Sweden never became a great power. This battle also had a major role in propelling Russia to their status. Yet that fire in the hearts of Ukrainians for independence was not extinguished over the next few centuries. Today, a Ukrainian state exists which exacts quite the toll on Russian aggression.  Ukrainians revere Mazepa for making the best choice he could.Mazepa was excommunicated from the Russian Orthodox Church and Czar Peter also ordered all portraits of the man destroyed. Similarly, Tolstoy,  was separated from the Orthodox Church in 1901 through a Church Proclamation.  Tolstoy's writing on religion led to the church to declare him as a “false teacher” imbued with “intellectual pride.”   This leads me to the second reference to I have found from Tolstoy on Mazppa, which is the  book “Life of Tolstoy” by Tolstoy's long-time English friend and translator,  Alymer Maude.  Maude describes how Tolstoy studied the life of Mazepa upon a friendly wager as a law student.

Pierre was stewing over his wife's perceived infidelity with Dolokhov, who was sitting right across from him at the celebration for Bagration. As too often of late, Pierre was a glutton - eating and drinking in excess. He sensed what marrying into the Kuragin family would devolve into -- but could not resist that Siren's call of Hélène.   Pierre's suspicions were roused by rumor as well as an anonymous letter informing him that his wife's connection with Dolokhov was a secret to no one but himself.  Pierre reflects while others give toasts. He recalled how Dolokhov arrived from Austerlitz, injured and need of a place to recover; and how he housed him and lent him money.   It now made sense as to why Dolokhov would so often praise Hélène's beauty. He senses Dolohkov gets a kick out of cuckolding him. He sees Dolokhov wearing a familiar & sadistic look,  such as when he tied a policeman to the bear in Petersburg or when he shot some mail-carrier's horse.  Pierre considered, “to kill a man means nothing to him.” Yet Pierre felt a prideful need to make a stand.  His mind was scrambling and did not even recognize Nicholas, who chides the Count when Pierre failed to toast Alexandr. Dolokhov suggests for Nichols to be nicer and renew their acquaintance. Denisov then suggests that Rostov should flatter the man with the biggest estate and most striking wife. Pierre sensed he was being talked about.   Dolokhov directs himself to Pierre and makes a toast inadvertently funny or intentionally cutting:  “Here's to the health of lovely women, Peterkin—and their lovers!” Is he honoring Pierre or rubbing the whole matter in his face?   Just then a footman was distributing leaflets of a vocal composition for guests to sing along with.  One was laid one before Pierre.  Dolokhov decided to take what was Pierre's and perhaps Tolstoy is being symbolic.   Dolokhov grabs the paper and began to peruse it, which was the straw that broke the camel's back. We are not told if Dolokhov is being insolent or his rascal self nor whether there was any affair. We just know Pierre's perceptions. Pierre looked at Dolokhov and with a ferocity he never demonstrated, yelled “How dare you take it, You shan't have it!” The outburst alarmed those near, including Prince Nesvítski. Dolokhov returns a look which seemed to say  “Ah! This is what I love!”  Pierre continues, “You...! You Villain! I challenge you!”  He is demanding satisfaction.  In Pierre's mind the question of his wife's guilt was resolved.  Within that gigantic heart, he hated his wife and was separated from her.    Formal arrangements were made for the duel to take place the next day in the Sokolnik Forest.   Rostov agrees to be Dolokhov's second and Pierre choses Nesvitski. Pierre quickly goes home but  Dolokhov stays at the English club, admiring the entertainment.  When Rostov asked Dolokhov how he felt, the latter responded:   “I'll tell you the whole secret of dueling. If you make a will and write affectionate letters to your parents and think you may be killed, you are a fool and are lost. But if you go with the firm intention of killing your man as quickly and surely as possible, then all will be right…. À demain, mon cher.” We are brought to the next morning at the forest. Dolokhov, Denisov and Rostov arrive first. When Pierre appears, he carried the air of a man who already lost. He was absorbed by his wife's guilt and thought his adversary had no reason to preserve the honor of a man who meant nothing to him. Pierre ponders "Either I shall kill him or he will me." There were moments he felt like running away and burying himself.   He realized there was no getting out of this and considered “Will it be long before this begins? Is all ready?” The pistols were loaded and sabres stuck in the snow to mark the barriers by which the duelists could not pass to shoot. Nesvitski tries to talk Pierre down, saying there is no sufficient grounds for mortal conflict and that Pierre was impetuous. Pierre agrees the whole thing is horribly stupid but feels compelled to proceed.  Pierre is almost wishing to be put out of his misery.  This includes the gloom over his marriage, the wealth he cannot manage and his directionless life.   He took the pistol and inquired about its working, as he had never even held a pistol. This as he was to face a man who been in various duels and acquitted himself well at Austerlitz. The spot chosen was some 80 paces from the main road, in a clearing in the pine forest that was still covered with snow.  The duelists would start 40 paces apart from separate edges and walk to each other and fire at will. At this time of day, it was misty and neither belligerent could see the other.  This delayed the ability to commence for a few minutes.

Tolstoy addresses how divided opinions persist through the ages. There will be a prominent crisis grabbing Your attention where every opinion under the sun is stated.  He posits there is a perception afforded to a select few people involved in whatever conflict is at hand.  There will naturally be some who get close to an accurate prediction of how a matter turns out and are often mistaken with being responsible for the event. For example, if Napoleon orders an advance and wins the field, he will get credit for taking ground.  Tolstoy has us examine if there is more to the story.    To illustrate this, Tolstoy has us imagine the hypothetical of men hauling a log, where each expresses an opinion as to how and where to take it. Eventually, the log will be hauled to some location in a manner most similar to how one, or a small group, predict.  We are led to the conclusion that those who predict most accurately are responsible for the task.    However, Tolstoy's goal is to relate to the complexity of attributing causes for events.  He proffers that there is merely a perception of command and illusory nature of power.With the Log-haul, there will be various men doing most of the physical work and because of their attention to the task, do not often think so much about what they are doing. Tolstoy proposes that they are as much responsible for the result as so-called decision makers.  Tolstoy infers that certain men who take initiative to “talk more” are often given accolades and find themselves with decision-making capacity and work less with his hands. Napoleon was one such man.In affairs of the military or other large-scale enterprises, masses direct themselves with grander objectives than hauling a log. The commanding is often done in small teams, who do little of the actual fighting.  Tolstoy attributes to this group similar attributes to how man perceives himself when he works alone and develops values to draw from. Basically, considerations which directed past activity, justify present activity, as serve as a guide for his future actions.  Tolstoy finds that this analytical process does not take the overriding values bestowed through the Gospel into account and allows us to devise justifications or rationalizations for collective activity.  Tolstoy provides an example through the French Revolution. He notes: for reasons known or unknown the French began to drown and kill one another in that affair of 1789. There was an overriding belief that such was necessary for the welfare of France and for Liberty, Fraternity, and Equality.   The People later felt differently and ceased to kill one another. It was then believed that a centralization of power was necessary as well as resistance to those who desired to stay attached to monarchies. This resolve led to another effort that involved marching out of country to kill at the behest of men like Napoleon. This was accompanied by phrases about the glory of France and baseness of England.It is such that every movement that occurs inevitably coincides with someone's expressed wish and receives some justification. Tolstoy proclaims that the justifications made for such wars have no logic but have formidable significance. They serve to release people from moral responsibility for our collective crimes, such as how we kill millions of our fellows.  Our intellect can excuse, reframe, or justify anything!Tolstoy is wrestling with the nature of life, like the Preacher in Ecclesiastes, who Tolstoy often cites.  He is expressing that man must rely on more than what other men say -- no matter how convincing.  As Andrei realized on the field of Austerlitz, man must look above and beyond himself and act as if he is accountable to the Almighty even when he is flowing with the strongest currents of conventional thinking. We all have a voice in where we are going and for the wars and oppression around us. We share the responsibility of not justifying the unjustifiable. He uses a metaphor to make the point: Think of a person on a boat who  does not perceive the degree to which he is moving, as compared to someone who can see the ship from the shoreline. We are moving but do not feel it. We are all akin to passengers being led somewhere. This can be the narrow path of virtue or the wider path of frailty and sin.  Tolstoy essentially is asking you to consider, while on board and looking at the sky: What is Your North Star? This is a stark reminder to not lose sight of the essential connection that those few names in history have to the masses. Power also lies with the people. It was not one man who led to the excesses of any movement. It was a combination of those considered leaders and the rest of us who actually haul the log.

We'll focus on Beethoven's “Kreutzer” Sonata for Violin and Piano, with a little bit of the backstory concerning two well-known violinists of the day—George Augustus Bridgetower and Rodolphe Kreutzer, along with one great 19th century Russian author—Leo Tolstoy.  

The novelist, essayist, and short-story writer George Saunders—widely celebrated for his novel Lincoln in the Bardo (2017), which won the Man Booker Prize, and book of short stories Tenth of December (2013)—has made it his mission to “de-dullify” the world through his clear-eyed, empathic, often-puckish prose. There's an unwavering spirit of generosity embedded in the way Saunders tells stories and teaches his craft that ensures his readers and students alike stay along for the ride. Saunders's curiosity about the afterlife, a recurring motif in his writing, rises to the fore in his latest novel, Vigil, which follows a pair of ghostly figures as they visit the deathbed of a prideful, climate-change-denying Texas oil tycoon. On this episode, he shares how practicing meditation has shifted his approach to writing and his outlook on life, the underlying importance of humor in his work, and why to be a good storyteller is akin to being a good host.  Special thanks to our Season 13 presenting partner, Van Cleef & Arpels.

Hans namn är synonymt med att vara charmerande playboy. Till detta skulle kunna läggas duperande bedragare och självsäker improvisatör, för allt detta samt mycket annat var Giacomo Casanova. En rastlös ytlighetens och intimitetens riddare som alltid var redo att dra en värja i duell för sin egen skull, åtminstone om han kunde väva en skröna kring det senare och motståndaren var gammal och reumatisk. Följ med oss och Casanova på fartfyllda och spännande äventyr med utgångspunkt från Venedig och därifrån till resten av Europa.
