This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice.

In "What Is Art?", Tolstoy defines art not by its beauty or form, but by its ability to communicate feelings. He believes the artist intentionally evokes a feeling within themselves, then expresses it through various means (words, music, paintings, etc.) so others can experience the same feeling.

Tolstoy sees art as a powerful tool for uniting humanity by allowing us to share emotions and understand each other on a deeper level. However, he differentiates between "good" and "bad" art based on the feelings it transmits. According to him, good art promotes positive and universal values like compassion and love, while bad art transmits harmful or negative emotions.
