Who Should Learn Writing of Whom: Peasant Children of Us, or We of Peasant Children?

Кому у кого учиться писать, крестьянским ребятам у нас или нам у крестьянских ребят?

Lev Tolstói en Yásnaia Poliana (1908)
byLeo Tolstoy

Famous article of 1862 in which Tolstoy tells how his peasant pupils wrote a story — The Soldier's Wife's Life, later included in the Azbuka — that seemed to him superior to many pages of Goethe, and concludes that it is he who must learn from them.
