520    The Modern Language Association (MLA) awarded the Lois 
       Roth Award to John Woodsworth and Arkadi Klioutchanski of 
       the University of Ottawa's Slavic Research Group for their
       translation of Sofia Andreevna Tolstaya's My Life memoirs.
       My Life was selected among the top 100 non-fiction works 
       of 2010 by The Globe and Mail. It has also won an 
       honourable mention in the Biography and Autobiography 
       category of the 2010 American Publishers Awards for the 
       Professional and Scholarly Excellence (PROSE) awards. And,
       finally, it made it into the Association of American 
       University Presses' 2011 Book, Jacket and Journal Show.  
       One hundred years after his death, Leo Tolstoy continues 
       to be regarded as one of the world's most accomplished 
       writers. Historically, little attention has been paid to 
       his wife Sofia Andreevna Tolstaya. Acting in the capacity 
       of literary assistant, translator, transcriber, and editor,
       she played an important role in the development of her 
       husband's career. Her memoirs - which she titled My Life -
       lay dormant for almost a century. Now their first-time-
       ever appearance in Russia is complemented by an unabridged
       and annotated English translation. Tolstaya's story takes 
       us from her childhood through the early years of her 
       marriage, the writing of War and Peace and Anna Karenina 
       and into the first year of the twentieth century. She 
       paints an intimate and honest portrait of her husband's 
       character, providing new details about his life to which 
       she alone was privy. She offers a better understanding of 
       Tolstoy's character, his qualities and failings as a 
       husband and a father, and forms a picture of the 
       quintessential Tolstoyan character which underlies his 
       fiction. My Life also reveals that Tolstaya was an 
       accomplished author in her own right-as well as a 
       translator, amateur artist, musician, photographer, and 
       businesswoman-a rarity in the largely male-dominated world
       of the time. She was actively involved in the relief 
       efforts for the 1891-92 famine and the emigration of the 
       Doukhobors in 1899. She was a prolific correspondent, in 
       touch with many prominent figures in Russian and Western 
       society. Guests in her home ranged from peasants to 
       princes, from anarchists to artists, from composers to 
       philosophers. Her descriptions of these personalities read
       as a chronicle of the times, affording a unique portrait 
       of late-19th- and early-20th-century Russian society, 
       ranging from peasants to the Tsar himself. My Life is the 
       most important primary document about Tolstoy to be 
       published in many years and a unique and intimate portrait
       of one of the greatest literary minds of all time.
