<div>Tolstoy&rsquo;s first published novel and the beginning of his Autobiographical Trilogy. Written when he was just twenty-three years old and stationed at a remote army outpost in the Caucasus Mountains, Childhood won Leo Tolstoy immediate fame and critical praise years before works like War and Peace and Anna Karenina would bring him to the forefront of Russian literature. It is the story of the ten-year-old son of a wealthy Russian landowner in the mid-1800s, as told by the child himself. Not a mere chronicle of events and characters, the novel is an intense study of the boy&rsquo;s inner life and his reactions to the world around him. With an intricacy of thought and substance, Tolstoy describes the everyday thoughts of a child&mdash;innocent and mischievous, bold and afraid, and curious above all. Childhood, followed by Boyhood and Youth, is the first part of Tolstoy&rsquo;s semiautobiographical series, originally planned as a quartet tentatively called the &ldquo;Four Epochs of Growth.&rdquo; The completed works together form a remarkable expression of the great Russian novelist&rsquo;s early voice and vision, which would ultimately make him one of the most renowned and revered authors in literary history.

Childhood

<div>The third and final novel in Tolstoy&rsquo;s Autobiographical Trilogy, following Childhood and Boyhood. In Youth, Leo Tolstoy&rsquo;s protagonist&mdash;now a fervent sixteen-year-old&mdash;eagerly prepares to strike out on his own.

From his interactions with friends, old and new, to his perceptions of the beauty of nature, the young man has an entirely new world to look forward to. But harsh lessons are waiting to teach him that far-flung expectations are rarely fulfilled to the dreamer&rsquo;s specifications, and that disappointment, anger, and grief are constant foes that must be contended with if one is to truly live. Youth concludes Tolstoy&rsquo;s semiautobiographical trilogy, originally planned as a four-part series of novels tentatively called the &ldquo;Four Epochs of Growth.&rdquo; The completed works together form a remarkable expression of the great Russian novelist&rsquo;s early voice and vision, which would ultimately make him one of the most renowned and revered authors in literary history.

Autobiographical Trilogy

<div>The grand epic set during Napoleon&rsquo;s invasion of Russia: a vividly detailed view of nineteenth-century Russian life by the author of Anna Karenina. Widely regarded as one of the greatest novels ever written, War and Peace is Leo Tolstoy&rsquo;s magnum opus, a groundbreaking work of literary realism, and a psychologically acute examination of Tsarist society in the Napoleonic Era. The narrative follows the fates, fortunes, loves, and betrayals of five aristocratic Russian families from an elegant soir&eacute;e in 1805 Saint Petersburg to the abandoned and burning Moscow of 1812. With a panoramic cast of characters, including peasants, soldiers, nobles, and historical figures such as Napoleon Bonaparte and Mikhail Kutuzov, Tolstoy presents a hugely ambitious portrait of the human condition. First published in 1865, this edition of War and Peace was translated into English by Louise and Alymer Maude</div>

War and Peace

<div>A successful man must face the terror of his own mortality in this masterful nineteenth-century Russian novella by the author of War and Peace.In his later years, Leo Tolstoy began to contemplate the inescapable realities of mortality&mdash;its terrifying mystery, its many indignities, and the way it forces one to look back on the legacy and regrets of one&rsquo;s life. The Death of Ivan Ilyich, widely considered the masterpiece of Tolstoy&rsquo;s late career, is both a deeply insightful meditation on the final months of a man&rsquo;s life, and an unsparing critique of conventional middle-class life in nineteenth-century Russia. Ivan Ilyich, a prosperous high-court judge, spends his days pursuing social advancement among his peers and avoiding his loveless marriage. But when a seemingly innocuous injury signals the beginning of a terminal illness, Ilyich begins to see the true worth of his life with tragic clarity.</div>

The Death of Ivan Ilyich

<div>The nineteenth-century Russian classic novel of a tumultuous love affair set amidst the nation&rsquo;s changing society in the 1870s. First published in the late nineteenth century, Anna Karenina, by famed Russian writer Leo Tolstoy, is widely regarded as one of the greatest novels of all time. Chronicling the turbulent affair between Anna Karenina and Count Vronsky, Tolstoy weaves a parallel plot of self-discovery and a turn to religion by character Konstantin Levin that is thought to be autobiographical. The result is a tale of jealousy, faith, hypocrisy, passion and progress set amidst the social change occurring in Russia in the 1870s. Now available as part of the Word Cloud Classics series, the novel is a must-have addition to the libraries of all classic literature lovers. &ldquo;One of the greatest love stories in world literature.&rdquo; &mdash;Vladimir Nabokov</div>
