In this landmark biography of Count Lev Nikolayevich Tolstoy, A. N. Wilson narrates the complex drama of the writerās life: his childhood of aristocratic privilege but emotional deprivation, his discovery of his literary genius after aimless years of gambling and womanizing, and his increasingly disastrous marriage. Wilson sweeps away the long-held belief that Tolstoyās works were the exact mirror of his life, and instead traces the roots of Tolstoyās art to his relationship with God, with women, and with Russia. He also breaks new ground in recreating the world that shaped the great novelistās life and artāthe turmoil of ideas and politics in nineteenth-century Russia and the incredible literary renaissance that made Tolstoyās work possible. "Admirable. . . . Absorbing. . . . Superb."āAnthony Burgess "Stands as a model of the biographerās art: intelligent and opinionated, yet judiciousāand, whatās more, deliciously readable."āMichiko Kakutani, New York Times
