Description: The Kingdom of God is Within You by Leo Tolstoy Second British edition of the classic text on nonviolence London: Walter Scott, 1894. First thus. viii, 376, [16] pp. Bound in publisher's navy cloth gilt stamping. Near Fine, tips lightly worn, foxing to edges, gift bookplate on paste down, a few marginal pencil marks. An attractive copy. Leo Tolstoy's major statement of his philosophy of anarchist nonviolence, rooted in the Gospel of Luke. Line, Ettlinger, and Gladstone cite this translation as closely following the Constance Garnett translation in time in their Bibliography of Russian Literature in English Translation to 1945. Both translations were in production simultaneously according to Galeena Alekseeva (see her essay in Volume 2 Literary Translation, Reception, and Transfer), with feuding publishers. Tolstoy, ever the anarchist, had rejected assuming a copyright for the work before either translation was published. This work would immensely influence Gandhi and civil rights movement strategist James Bevel.
