Childhood, Boyhood And Youth (Everyman Hardcover)

Tolstoys lightly fictionalized account of his own early experience ranks with Turgenevs Sportsmans Notebook as a masterpiece of nineteenth-century Russian pastoral life. Peasants and soldiers, servants and aristocrats: the whole world of Tolstoys later fiction appears before us here in glowing colours, painted with that vivid freshness and sharp observation which were to become the mature writers hallmarks. Hardcover. English. Everyman. 1991. ISBN: 9781857150131. 416 pp. Good with dw. Book No: 64847
