Description
Leo Tolstoy: A Life of Turmoil and Genius In 1851, Leo Tolstoy arrived in Moscow with three ambitious goals: to gamble, marry, and secure a post. Though he achieved only the first, his life was marked by turmoil and transformation. This biography offers an innovative account of Tolstoy's inner world, drawing on his personal diaries and letters, alongside a brilliant interpretation of his major works. Tolstoy's struggles with family loss, spiritual crisis, and social upheaval are woven into a narrative that explores the depths of his emotions and motivations. From his celebrated novels like War and Peace and Anna Karenina to his significant philosophical writings, Zorin sheds new light on Tolstoy's most profound thoughts. A comprehensive and insightful biography, Leo Tolstoy: A Life of Turmoil and Genius provides a nuanced understanding of one of literature's greatest figures.
