Summary

Aleksandar Novačić: The Twilight of the Tolstoy Family

The thematic framework of Novačić's new novel The Twilight of the Tolstoy Family - Scenes from Paradise Lost encompasses the complex relationship of the famous Russian writer Leo Tolstoy to the various communities to which he belonged: from the family cooperative in Jasna Poljana, through his affiliation with the Russian Orthodox Church, to the universal community of the human spirit and the place he occupied in it. Novačić skilfully weaves historical events, personal anecdotes and fictional elements into a comprehensive story about Leo Tolstoy and his family through the prism of Italian medical professor Cesare Lombroso, who dives into the private world of the Tolstoy family, exploring their psychological interdependence and the complex emotional relationships that unite them. Novaćić's book sheds light, through "first-hand testimonies", on the deep connection between the Dionysian, impulsive forces of Tolstoy's nature and the Apollonian, rational aspects of his actions, which in their interpenetration allow Tolstoy insight into the deeper truths of existence. The tragedy of Tolstoy and his family has a similar root, Novaćić believes, and is closely related to the continuous conflict between these two principles. Novaćić's story offers nuanced insights into the inner mechanisms of the creative mind and raises important questions about the nature of spiritual creativity, about the relationship between the Dionysian and Apollonian spirit, darkness and light, "madness" and "genius".
