"Building on its predecessor, Queer Tolstoy: A Psychobiography (2023), this book uncovers queer-anarchist dimensions of the second half of Count Lev Nikolaevich Tolstoy's life (1828-1910), and of the Russian writer's later art-works. It features queer-friendly readings of Anna Karenina (1875-1877), The Gospels In Brief (1881), "The Death of Ivan Ilych" (1886), "The Kreutzer Sonata," (1889), "Master and Man" (1895), and Resurrection (1899), among other classics. However, the argument does not overlook thegross misogyny expressed by Tolstoy in either his art or his marriage with Countess Sofia Andreevna Tolstaya. Rather, the author explores the fundamental contradictions between sexism and anti-authoritarianism, while critiquing Tolstoy's self-defeating commitment to patriarchy. The text also praises the writer's late turn toward preaching Christian anarchism, as it traces aspects of Tolstoy's artistic and political resonance in the twentieth century, including pacifist plant-based communes, the Russian and Mexican Revolutions, the Bloomsbury Group, Catholic Workers, and Soviet-era hippies"--

Recenzijas

Well-paced, dynamic, and written in an intriguing style, this book will appeal to audiences familiar with Tolstoy as a political philosopher as well as a literary figure. Those interested in gender issues will be greatly rewarded by reading it.

- Charles Reitz, author of Herbert Marcuse as Social Justice Educator: A Critical Introduction, USA

This erudite book is guided by the project of critical theoretical inquiry into the interaction between personal life and subjectivity, as revealed in biographical details, literary expressions, and social and historical phenomena. These are exhibited through both the course of events and the nature of social structures and institutions. Sethness provides an extremely detailed analysis of Tolstoys life and work, and of the writers social and historical context. It will prove very stimulating to the reader.

- John P. Clark, author of The Impossible Community: Realizing Communitarian Anarchism, USA

This book makes the reader intensely feel the unity of humanity and the connection between academic research and political practice. Tolstoys Search for the Kingdom of God is not an apologetic work, but rather, a controversial and inspiring study. It is a call to action for civil and academic disobedience against the shameless imperial appropriation of Lev Tolstoy by propagandists of the Russian world. Javier Sethness Castros transnational, anti-totalitarian, and penetratingly modern Tolstoy belongs to the global union of honest people, adherents of humanist principles, and values of non-violence and justice.

- Irina Gordeeva, author of The Forgotten People: A History of the Russian Communitarian Movement, Germany
