Book exhibition for the 190th birth anniversary of Leo Tolstoy

The author characterizes the most interesting exhibits of the jubilee exhibition "The Great Tolstoy", which demonstrated rare lifetime and the first posthumous editions of the works of Leo Tolstoy from the Don State Public Library. The main sections of the exhibition are "The Creativity" and "About Tolstoy". It is noted that the peculiar centres of attention in the exposition of the first section were rare multi-volumes (Sytin's edition, three-volume edition edited by Maximov, etc.) and unique copies of editions of separate works of the great writer. The composition of the second section is more diverse. It includes rare editions of notes and diaries of various people from the writer's family environment, which appeared during the life and in the coming years after the death of Lev Nikolaevich, as well as memories, including ones by Tolstoy's children.
