With M. Troyant's guidance one is led to understand why Tolstoy is considered one of the most bizarre personalities of modern times, why he was regarded by his contemporaries not only as a literary giant but also a gargantuan enigma. As a writer, lover, husband, father, and cult leader this extraordinary human being was a mass of contridictions. Born a nobleman with an overriding desire to be a peasant. Not only a biography of this great literary genius, but a recapturing of Russia in the mid 19th century. Photo illustrated.
