The Seventh International Academic Conference Leo Tolstoy and World
Literature will take place August 11-15, 2010, at 

Yasnaya Polyana, the Leo Tolstoy Museum-Estate, home of Tolstoy's Personal
Library, which contains books in 39 foreign 

languages. This conference celebrates the 100th anniversary of Tolstoy's
death, and topics related to this subject 

will be especially welcome.  The new academic edition being prepared at IMLI
at the Moscow Academy of Sciences is ongoing, 

and we also welcome reports on the early reception around the world of
Tolstoy's works.  New editions on Tolstoy will be 

presented at the Conference.  Yasnaya Polyana will publish the conference
papers.
