Description

"Childhood," the first in Tolstoy's autobiographical trilogy, ushers readers into the tender world of young Nikolai, navigating the joys and sorrows of his early years. Through Nikolai's eyes, we experience the purity of first friendships, the sting of first losses, and the complex weave of family dynamics. Tolstoy captures the essence of youth with poignant clarity and emotional depth, crafting a timeless exploration of the innocence and introspection that define the journey into adolescence.

Author

Leo Tolstoy (1828–1910) was born to a titled family at Yasnaya Polyana, served in the Crimean War, and wrote the two novels that made Russian fiction a world event: War and Peace and Anna Karenina. The first holds a nation at war and at home; the second holds a marriage until it breaks. Later he turned from the worldly novel toward essays and moral tales, arguing with church, property, and his own fame. One hundred and six titles here.
