Book Price $0 : "Must Surely Rank Among The Most Impressively Intelligent Biographies Ever Written."â??Zena Sutherland, The Economist In This Landmark Biography Of Count Lev Nikolayevich Tolstoy, A. N. Wilson Narrates The Complex Drama Of The Writerâ??s 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 Tolstoyâ??s Works Were The Exact Mirror Of His Life, And Instead Traces The Roots Of Tolstoyâ??s Art To His Relationship With God, With Women, And With Russia. He Also Breaks New Ground In Recreating The World That Shaped The Great Novelistâ??s Life And Artâ??the Turmoil Of Ideas And Politics In Nineteenth-century Russia And The Incredible Literary Renaissance That Made Tolstoyâ??s Work Possible. "Admirable. . . . Absorbing. . . . Superb."â??Anthony Burgess "Stands As A Model Of The Biographerâ??s Art: Intelligent And Opinionated, Yet Judiciousâ??and, Whatâ??s More, Deliciously Readable."â??Michiko Kakutani, New York Times 24 Pages Of Black And White Illustrations
