Set in the tumultuous last year of Leo Tolstoy's life, The Last
Station centres on the battle for his soul waged by his wife and
his leading disciple. Torn between his professed doctrine of
poverty and chastity on the one hand and the reality of his life of
hedonism on the other, Tolstoy makes a dramatic flight from his
home. Too ill to continue beyond the tiny station of Astapovo, he
believes he is dying alone, while outside over one hundred
newspapermen are awaiting hourly reports on his condition. Narrated
in six different voices, The Last Station is a richly inventive
novel that dances bewitchingly between fact and fiction.
