Childhood (Detstvo) appeared in 1852 and was Lev Tolstoy's first
published work. Together with Boyhood (Otrochestvo) and Youth
(Iunost') it forms a trilogy which, though fictional, is deeply
rooted in Tolstoy's autobiography. As the first-person narrator
grows out of childish innocence, he develops a growing awareness of
the degree of deception inherent in adult behaviour and the extent
to which he himself is increasingly capable of deception.
Remarkable in its own right for its clear-sighted portrayal of the
child's world, the work also contains in embryo themes which
dominate Tolstoy's nature work. These are detailed in the
introduction to this edition, which also contains full notes and a
vocabulary.
