The novel begins with Nicholai's leaving adolescence and going ahead towards the manhood. Nicholai's dream and attraction towards blossoming manhood is quite impressive but harsh circumstances bring drastic changes in his life. He depicts Nicholai's college time struggle, his efforts for university admission, examination, his interaction with students and professors and friendship with Dmitri. He considers Dmitri's friendship as boon because he is the best supporter and guide to Tolstoy. He narrates his life's ambition, task and the rules of life, he wants to be guided by them. Facing his life challenges he also emphasises class struggle and social inequalities. In an ironical way, he reveals the fact of life that all are not getting equal treatment. He expresses deep sociological and psychological observations and realizes dreams of his youth seem foolish comparative to earlier stages.

Autorenporträt
Leo Tolstoy (1828-1910) was a Russian author and philosopher, celebrated as one of history's greatest literary figures. Born into an aristocratic family, he faced early personal losses, including the deaths of his parents. Tolstoy's literary journey began with the acclaimed semi-autobiographical trilogy Childhood, Boyhood, and Youth (1852-1856), and his experiences in the Crimean War inspired the Sevastopol Sketches (1855), which vividly portrayed the realities of conflict.His masterpieces, War and Peace (1869) and Anna Karenina (1878), are renowned for their sweeping narratives and psychological depth. War and Peace offers a panoramic view of Russian society during the Napoleonic Wars, while Anna Karenina examines themes of love, family, and societal expectations. Tolstoy also penned influential shorter works, including The Death of Ivan Ilyich (1886) and Hadji Murad (1912), which explore profound moral and existential dilemmas.In the 1870s, Tolstoy underwent a spiritual transformation, embracing Christian anarchism and pacifism. Works like Confession (1882) and The Kingdom of God Is Within You (1894) reflect his belief in nonviolence, simplicity, and love, rejecting institutional religion and state authority. These ideas influenced global figures such as Mahatma Gandhi and Martin Luther King Jr., solidifying Tolstoy's legacy as a literary genius and a transformative thinker.
