Childhood

Meer over het boek

The trilogy encapsulates Tolstoy's exploration of a young individual's journey towards self-awareness, reflecting on the complexities of life through vivid storytelling. Spanning his formative years, it offers a rich tapestry of experiences that foreshadow themes and techniques later developed in his masterpieces like "War and Peace" and "Anna Karenina." Despite the author's later dismissal of the work as a blend of fact and fiction, readers have long appreciated its insightful portrayal of youth against a backdrop of clarity and diversity.
