    About this audiobook

    This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice.

    In "What Is Art?", Tolstoy defines art not by its beauty or form, but by its ability to communicate feelings. He believes the artist intentionally evokes a feeling within themselves, then expresses it through various means (words, music, paintings, etc.) so others can experience the same feeling.

    Tolstoy sees art as a powerful tool for uniting humanity by allowing us to share emotions and understand each other on a deeper level. However, he differentiates between "good" and "bad" art based on the feelings it transmits. According to him, good art promotes positive and universal values like compassion and love, while bad art transmits harmful or negative emotions.

    Author

    Leo Tolstoi

    Leo Tolstoy grew up in Russia, raised by a elderly aunt and educated by French tutors while studying at Kazen University before giving up on his education and volunteering for military duty. When writing his greatest works, War and Peace and Anna Karenina, Tolstoy drew upon his diaries for material. At eighty-two, while away from home, he suffered from declining health and died in Astapovo, Riazan in 1910.
