    • Abstract:
      The present essay investigates the European reception of D. Merezhkovsky’s L. Tolstoy and Dostoevsky through the example of Thomas Mann’s Goethe and Tolstoy. In this book published in 1925, Mann elaborates a strong parallel between Goethe and Tolstoy, which seems at first sight to draw him far away from Merezhkovsky. Eventually though, not only does Mann’s text demonstrate that its author is putting into practice the lessons of the Russian critic, but in general the whole reception of Merezhkovsky’s book fosters a better comprehension of the new and original way in which Merezhkovsky builds his own comparison.

    • Abstract:
      Nous nous proposons ici de revenir sur la réception européenne de L. Tolstoï et Dostoïevski de Mérejkovski à travers l’exemple du Goethe et Tolstoï de Thomas Mann. Dans cet essai paru en 1925, Mann développe un grand parallèle entre Goethe et Tolstoï qui semble l’éloigner à première vue de Mérejkovski. En réalité, non seulement le texte montre que Mann tire les leçons du critique russe, mais que, de manière générale, ces effets de réception permettent de mieux comprendre la nature singulière et novatrice dont Mérejkovski organise sa propre comparaison.
