Tolstoy by Henri Troyat
A vivid, sympathetic biography that traces the life of a great Russian novelist from aristocratic childhood and wartime experiences through the composition of his major novels, examining his complex marriage and family life, his profound moral and spiritual crisis that led him to renounce wealth and conventional religion, his embrace of nonviolence and simple living, the public and private conflicts that ensued, and his dramatic final flight from home and death, all set against the wider social and historical currents of 19th-century Russia.
