Over de auteur

Count Lev Nikolayevich Tolstoy, commonly known as Leo Tolstoy, was a towering figure in Russian literature, born on September 9, 1828, at Yasnaya Polyana, his family's estate in the Tula Province of Russia. He is recognized not only for his literary prowess but also for his profound philosophical and ethical musings. Tolstoy's narratives often delve into the complexities of human life and the quest for meaning. 'Boyhood' is one such early work where he intricately explores the experiences and emotions of youth, narrating the development of a child into early adolescence. This semi-autobiographical novel is part of the autobiographical trilogy, which begins with 'Childhood' and concludes with 'Youth', painting a larger picture of Tolstoy's own formative years. His masterpieces, 'War and Peace' and 'Anna Karenina', showcase his adept storytelling and rich character development, thus embedding him within the pantheon of literary greats. Tolstoy's style encompasses realistic narrative, moral didacticism, and a philosophical scrutiny of life and society, which continued to evolve until his later works, such as 'The Death of Ivan Ilyich' and 'Resurrection'. He passed away on November 20, 1910, at Astapovo railway station, leaving behind a legacy of works that continue to challenge, inspire, and evoke contemplation to this day.
