When he arrived in Moscow in 1851, a young Leo Tolstoy set himself
three immediate aims: to gamble, to marry and to obtain a post. At
that time he managed only the first. The writer’s momentous life
would be full of forced breaks and abrupt departures, from the
death of his beloved parents to an abandonment of the social class
into which he had been born. Andrei Zorin skilfully pieces together
Tolstoy’s life, offering an account of the novelist’s deepest
feelings and motives, and a brilliant interpretation of his major
works, including the celebrated novels War and Peace and Anna
Karenina.
