Description
Count Leo Tolstoy was born at Yasnaya Polyana, his ancestral estate in rural Russia. This family residence remained his home base throughout his life, despite travels and experiences that broadened his perspective. In Simply Tolstoy, Professor Donna Tussing Orwin explores the author's journey of discovery and how he drew on his inner life to create his iconic works. Tolstoy's quest for truth and meaning began as a university student, and subsequent experiences shaped his writing. The book shows how his novels, such as War and Peace and Anna Karenina, reflect his state of mind at different points in his life. Simply Tolstoy is a biography that also delves into literary analysis and history, offering insights into Russia's search for identity. This book provides an accessible introduction to a complex figure who was driven by a desire to understand the world around him. It will be of interest to those already familiar with Tolstoy's work, as well as readers looking to gain a deeper understanding of his life and writing.
