Re: Authors photos
Tolstoy was a major and undisputed candidate for the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1905. But he considered that the award didn't accord with his beliefs and principles and he asked his friend A. Yarnfelt "... get me not be awarded the prize... " Yarnfelt carried out the request very carefully and secretly by establishing the Nobel Committee literary intrigue.And, as a result, D. Carducci, Italian poet, got the Noble Prize.
Leo Nikolayevich Tolstoy was denied the Nobel Prize.
