Description

Young Nikolai moves through first friendships, family joys, and early losses in Tolstoy's opening autobiographical volume. A tender portrait of childhood turning toward adolescence. Spoken as when innocence still holds, and the first sorrows have already begun to teach.

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.
