Always love getting a bit of extra detail. So it's looking as though 'Last Steps' may be even less of an inspiration for the movie. Oh dear! Thanks for the extra info Andrea.

The book is a story of Tolstoy's last year based on loads of writing from the characters involved, not just Tolstoy.

But then I thought well Parini must have utilised these late writings of Tolstoy in their raw form, so indirectly, in a very roundabout way, Last Steps in terms of its content, did inspire the movie.

Are Penguin Classics covers going to be turned into premier marketing space? It's all a bit scary isn't it? Shame about the halo though. I've got this image in my head of the Arctic glowing with halo sorting penguins. Is this the beginning of the end Elena. Are Penguin Classics covers going to be turned into premier marketing space?
