Karl Ivanych was a funny old usher whom I loved from my soul . . St Jerome, on the other hand, was an educated and handsome young dandy, who tried to put himself on a level with everybody. indd 14 9/28/2010 12:21:06 PM Early Experiences and Influences 15 Rather than his formal education, Nicholas’ experience of the natural world and his inner reflections provide the real drive of his learning and development. For example, a whole chapter of Boyhood is devoted to the passing of a storm. In this episode, joyfully described, the child freely experiences nature, despite getting himself dirty and wet: the delicious scent of the wood after the spring storm, the odour of the birches, of the violets, the rotting leaves, the mushrooms, and the wild cherry, is so enthralling that I cannot stay in the brichka [a wooden cart] but jump down from its step, run to the bushes and, though I get sprinkled with the rain-drops that shower down on me, break off wet branches of the flowering wild cherry, stroke my face with them, and revel in their exquisite aroma.
Tolstoy’s dislike of educational theory, something he shared with Auerbach’s Eugen, had been confirmed by his negative observations of the German education system. Such a view of the German national character later becomes part of War and Peace, personified in the German military ‘theorist-general’ Pfuhl. As Tolstoy explains in a famous passage comparing the conceit of the European nations, all the nations have different reasons for their self-confidence but Germans are by far the worst, for ‘only Germans could base their self-confidence on an abstract idea – on science, that is, the supposed possession of absolute truth’ (WP, 757).
