LN Tolstoy wrote not only for adults. He wanted the children to know the world. For children, the writer created story-descriptions and cognitive stories.
School in Yasnaya Polyana
Young Lev Nikolaevich at his estate in 1850the first time he opened a school for peasant children. He saw that the children were drawn to knowledge, but there was nowhere to study. However, Tolstoy believed that in the remote villages "hidden" the new Lomonosov and simply gifted children - the future of the country.
Once he asked to write his pupil, ashe was taught up to the Yasnaya Polyana school, and in every line of the simple story there were words "beat" and "shouted". Reading the works of teachers and philosophers of his time, traveling abroad, everywhere Tolstoy looked for models to follow. But I did not find anything.
По своим собственным правилам он вновь начинает teach children ABC, arithmetic, the law of God, trying to get children interested. Classes were held in classrooms and in nature. The children simply did not want to go home, so much they were drawn to knowledge. However, the authorities found the Count's actions dangerous. In 1862 the school had to be closed. But the writer continued to create stories for the children.
