Books by Luigi Stendardo

Tolstoy first heard of the Bahá'í teachings in 1894 at a time when the movement was hardly known. This book traces the developments and fluctuations in Tolstoy's attitude as more information was made available to him. It is based on the author's correspondence and diaries, as well as the memoirs of those close to him and Bahá'ís who came into contact with him.
