Description
Leo Tolstoy's autobiographical trilogy begins with Childhood; Boyhood; Youth, a charming and insightful portrait of inner growth set against the backdrop of a world vividly rendered in prose. Written in his early twenties, this novel marks an important stage in Tolstoy's development as a writer.
The trilogy's themes and techniques can be seen to have evolved into some of Tolstoy's most famous works, including War and Peace and Anna Karenina. This new translation by Judson Rosengrant brings Tolstoy's voice to life in English prose, making it an authoritative text for readers.
