Produktbeschreibung

A trio of semi-autobiographical novels, Childhood, Boyhood, and Youth portray a rich landowner's son and his growing realization of the gulf between himself and his family's peasants. Tolstoy's childlike perspective, leavened with adult understanding, weaves a universal tale of the emotions, confusions, and fears of a young boy as he begins to understand his place in society and his growing awareness of the world around him.

Leo Tolstoy

Rezensionen

Tolstoy's first published work, Childhood, is unquestionably one of his most engaging and profound narratives, and he followed it in short order with the other two parts of the trilogy. We have several competent English translations, but none of them comes close to matching Judson Rosengrant's in capturing the young writer's astonishing precision, stylistic variety, and range of moods [...] The introduction breaks new critical ground in presenting Tolstoy's language and thought. The deft, unpretentious annotations are the most thorough in any English-language edition. I cannot think of a better place to start for new readers of Tolstoy, or a more insightful, enjoyable refresher for experienced Tolstoyans William Mills Todd III, Harvard University
