Editorial Reviews

Review

"[Berlin] has a deep and subtle feeling for the puzzle of Tolstoy's personality, and he writes throughout . . . with a wonderful eloquence."---William Barrett, New York Times

"Beautifully written and suggestive."---W. H. Auden, New Yorker

"A brilliant essay . . . a searching and profound analysis."---E. H. Carr, Times Literary Supplement

"So entertaining, as well as acute, that the reader hardly notices that it is learned too."---Arnold Toynbee, Observer

"The most important study of Tolstoy's thought written in English for a long time."---Noel Annan, Listener

"Berlin's stunning command of the resources of scholarship, his sensitivity to literature and to character, and his eloquence as a writer give this essay the luster of a virtuoso performance." ― Atlantic

"Delightful to read."---Peter Calvocoressi, Sunday Times

"Ingenious and subtle."---Max Beloff, Manchester Guardian

5.0 out of 5 stars Blows the whistle on Tolstoy
By Jim Blake, Jr. on August 22, 2020
Isaiah Berlin does not tell us much about either hedgehogs or foxes in this book but he tells us a lot about Leo Tolstoy who was both and neither. I read this book in order to find out if Berlin had a value judgement about foxes and or hedgehogs, two fundamental systems of looking at the world. Foxes explore many realms becoming expert at none, hedgehogs focus on one thing in their careers and get very good at it. Berlin appears to lean to the hedgehog as the superior of the two but he is subtle about it. Berlin's point regarding Tolstoy is that Tolstoy appeared as a fox in that he was interested in so many aspects of Russo-Euro culture / zeit and explored so many public and private realms in "War and Peace" but he did all this in the service of an over-arching hedgehoggey idea of his search for a unifying concept that might serve to describe mankind. Berlin's not very dog-whistle ulterior motive here is to bust Tolstoy for his plagiarism of both Joseph Maistre and Stephan Zhikarev. Berlin, a jew, taking a big deep shot to the gut of anti-semite Tolstoy. This book can be considered ground zero for late 20th century postmodernism, i.e. the first shot fired in 1953 at a canonic, white male in need of cutting down to size. Berlin's 20-20 hindsight historicism is effective.
