Produktbeschreibung

"Youth," the concluding volume of Tolstoy's autobiographical trilogy, charts the evolution of Nikolai Irtenev as he steps into the broader world of adulthood. Here, Nikolai's ideals and aspirations are tested against the realities of society, love, and ambition. Tolstoy masterfully depicts the inner turmoil and exuberance of young adulthood, exploring themes of identity, passion, and the search for one's place in the world. This narrative beautifully encapsulates the bittersweet transition into the complexities of mature life.

Autorenporträt

Leo Tolstoy (1828-1910) was a Russian author of novels, short stories, novellas, plays, and philosophical essays. He was born into an aristocratic family and served as an officer in the Russian military during the Crimean War before embarking on a career as a writer and activist. Tolstoy's experience in war, combined with his interpretation of the teachings of Jesus, led him to devote his life and work to the cause of pacifism. In addition to such fictional works as War and Peace (1869), Anna Karenina (1877), and The Death of Ivan Ilyich (1886), Tolstoy wrote The Kingdom of God is Within You (1893), a philosophical treatise on nonviolent resistance which had a profound impact on Mahatma Gandhi and Martin Luther King Jr. He is regarded today not only as one of the greatest writers of all time, but as a gifted and passionate political figure and public intellectual whose work transcends Russian history and literature alike.
