Der Insel-Almanach auf das Jahr 2010 bringt aus Anlaß des 100. Todestags von Lew Nikolajewitsch Tolstoj eine Auswahl aus seinem erzählerischen, essayistischen und autobiographischen Werk sowie aus seinen Briefen an Zeitgenossen wie Mahatma Gandhi und aus seinen Ehebriefen. Am 20. November 1910 starb Lew Nikolajewitsch Graf Tolstoj. Geboren wurde er 1828 auf dem Familiengut Jasnaja Poljana, wo er die meiste Zeit seines Lebens verbrachte. In jungen Jahren bereiste er Westeuropa und 1862 heiratete er die achtzehnjährige Sofia Andrejewna Behrs. Ersten Erfolg als Schriftsteller hatte er mit der autobiographischen Erzählung Kindheit. Vor allem mit seinem historischen und geschichtsphilosophischen Roman Krieg und Frieden und mit dem Eheroman Anna Karenina gilt er als einer der großen realistischen Erzähler des 19. Jahrhunderts. Seit seiner ‚Bekehrung’ (Meine Beichte, 1884) verfaßte er auch theoretische Schriften, in denen er seine religiösen und sozialen Anschauungen zum Ausdruck brachte. Mit seiner Lehre von der Gewaltlosigkeit und der Idee der Volksfrömmigkeit versuchte er ein reines Urchristentum zu leben. Scharf kritisierte er gesellschaftliche Konventionen, soziales Unrecht und technischen Fortschritt. In seiner letzten Schaffensperiode entstanden die großen Erzählungen Der Tod des Iwan Iljitsch (1886), Die Kreutzersonate (1891), Hadschi Murat (1896-1904), der Roman Auferstehung (1899), die Dramen Die Macht der Finsternis (1886), Und das Licht leuchtet in der Finsternis (1896-1900), Der lebende Leichnam (1900) und Schriften wie Was ist Kunst? (1898).

Vom Leben auf dem Landgut der Familie angeödet, begleitete der junge Lew Tolstoi 1851 seinen ältesten Bruder Nikolai, der im Kaukasus dient, an seinen Einsatzort – Starogladkowskaja, eine Kosakensiedlung am Terek. Seit Jahrzehnten führte das russische Imperium in der Region Krieg. Erst 1859 gelingt es, die von Imam Schamil geeinten muslimischen Kaukasusfürstentümer zu besiegen. Doch um welchen Preis! Tolstoi, der als Fähnrich an Gefechten teilnahm und verwundet wurde, kennt den Krieg und seine Akteure aus eigener Anschauung. Er beschreibt die Tragödie aus allen Perspektiven: an der Seite russischer Soldaten, die zum Freizeitvergnügen ein tschetschenisches Dorf zerstören, und neben den untröstlichen Überlebenden, die in den Trümmern ihrer Behausungen hocken. Mit scharfer Beobachtungsgabe und ethnographischem Blick schildert er die Faszinationsgeschichte der »Kaukasier«, der russischen Abenteurer, die sich, bestrickt von der stolzen Schönheit und Unbezwingbarkeit der Bergbewohner, auf ein Leben einlassen, an dessen Fremdheit sie scheitern. Ein Werk mit dem Titel »Krieg im Kaukasus« hat Tolstoi nie geschrieben. Aber er hat sein Leben lang über den Kaukasus geschrieben. Der Band konfrontiert den frühen mit dem späten Tolstoi. Von der nüchtern protokollhaften frühen Prosa von Überfall (1852) und Holzschlag (1855) bis zu den romanhaft farbigen Kosaken (1863), dem harten mündlichen Duktus des Gefangenen im Kaukasus (1872) und dem in Montagetechnik verfassten Hadschi Murat (postum 1912) – in Rosemarie Tietzes Neuübersetzung werden sie erstmal in ihrer stilistischen Bandbreite und ihrem sprachlichen Reichtum erfahrbar.

Multiculturalism in present-day Europe How to understand Europe’s post-migrant Islam on the one hand and indigenous, anti-Islamic movements on the other? What impact will religion have on the European secular world and its regulation? How do social and economic transitions on a transnational scale challenge ethnic and religious identifications? These questions are at the very heart of the debate on multiculturalism in present-day Europe and are addressed by the authors in this book. Through the lens of post-migrant societies, manifestations of identity appear in pluralized, fragmented, and deterritorialized forms. This new European multiculturalism calls into question the nature of boundaries between various ethnic-religious groups, as well as the demarcation lines within ethnic-religious communities. Although the contributions in this volume focus on Islam, ample attention is also paid to Christianity, Judaism, and Hinduism. The authors present empirical data from cases in Turkey, Germany, France, Spain, the United Kingdom, Poland, Norway, Sweden, and Belgium, and sharpen the perspectives on the religious-ethnic manifestations of identity in the transnational context of 21st-century Europe.Ebook available in Open Access.This publication is GPRC-labeled (Guaranteed Peer-Reviewed Content).ContributorsChris Allen (University of Birmingham), Cüneyt Dinç (Süleyman Şah University, Istanbul), Frédérique Harry (University of Paris-Sorbonne), Goedroen Juchtmans (KU Leuven and IKKS, Antwerp), Vincent Legrand (Université catholique de Louvain), Johan Leman (KU Leuven), Kathryn Lum (European University Institute, Florence), Marcel Meciar (Yeditepe University, Istanbul), Ephraim Nimni (Queen's University Belfast), Murat Sevencan (Suleyman Sah University, Istanbul), İsmail Mesut Sezgin (Leeds Metropolitan University), Erkan Toğuşlu (KU Leuven), Katarzyna Warmińska (Cracow University)
With the rise of statistics, many modern states made it a tool of government and a link between the authorities and their subjects (or citizens). The case of Italy was that of a composite world where the early emergence of statistical science (with Melchiorre Gioia) was accompanied by many studies on the reality of the populations. Naples under the Bourbons and under the reign of Gioacchino Murat, and central-northern Italy under Napoleon, were the fields of application of studies which covered everything from folklore to material conditions. The growth of a high-level modern medical science, in contact with the scientific cultures of Germany, France and Britain, provided the new Italian nation with a means of analysing the social and sanitary problems of the country. A rich documentation of all this survives in the studies of the socio-sanitary conditions of the inhabitants of Italian towns and communes which began in the early nineteenth century and continued for nearly a century. The statistical study of sanitary and hygienic problems, commissioned by Italian governments and carried out by the corporation of local doctors highlighted the abject conditions in which most of the Italian population lived from many points of view: malnutrition, disease, alchoholism, illiteracy, high infant mortality, short average lifespan, devastating death rate from malaria, cholera, pellagra, etc. But the economic policy of the ruling classes – big landowners in the south and the entrepreneurial middle classes in the north – chose to turn Italy into an economic and military power, leaving the agricultural world to fend for itself. And medical science was split between those who, like Camillo Golgi, dedicated their lives to solving the problem of malaria, and those who, like Paolo Mantegazza, offered the culture of a rising middle class intriguing opportunities to explore the mysteries of pleasure and sexual hygiene.
