ONCE upon a time, long, long ago and in a town far, far away, a murder of crows sat in the branches of a tree have a discussion. Underneath, Dickie Dorn lay on his back chewing a stem of grass and watched and listened to the crows trying to decipher what they were saying. But try as he might all he heard was caw, caw, caw. Fedup with the constant cawing he made his way back doen the hill to his grandmother?s cottage. He asked her if she could speak and understand the language of the crows. ?Ah? says she. ?Just a moment.? She went to a shelf and brought down a bottle which contained a purple liquid. Fetching a teaspoon she put a few drops on the spoon and said to Dickie ?Now open wide and suck the liquid off the spoon.? Trusting his Grandmother he did and then asked, ?What was that for Grandmama?? ?A good question? she said. ?It will help you understand the language of the crows.? ?Ooer? said Dickie and followed it up with an absent-minded thanks before dashing out the door and going back up the hill to the great Oak tree. Well, what did he hear the crows say? But is it a good idea to be able to understand what the birds of the air and animals of the field have to say? Maybe he heard things he shouldn?t hear. So, what happened next you ask?? Well, a few things happened, some silly and some serious.

"The fox knows many things, but the hedgehog knows one big thing." This ancient Greek aphorism, preserved in a fragment from the poet Archilochus, describes the central thesis of Isaiah Berlin's masterly essay on Leo Tolstoy and the philosophy of history, the subject of the epilogue to War and Peace. Although there have been many interpretations of the adage, Berlin uses it to mark a fundamental distinction between human beings who are fascinated by the infinite variety of things and those who relate everything to a central, all-embracing system. Applied to Tolstoy, the saying illuminates a paradox that helps explain his philosophy of history: Tolstoy was a fox, but believed in being a hedgehog. One of Berlin's most celebrated works, this extraordinary essay offers profound insights about Tolstoy, historical understanding, and human psychology. This new edition features a revised text that supplants all previous versions, English translations of the many passages in foreign languages, a new foreword in which Berlin biographer Michael Ignatieff explains the enduring appeal of Berlin's essay, and a new appendix that provides rich context, including excerpts from reviews and Berlin's letters, as well as a startling new interpretation of Archilochus's epigram.
