Leo Tolstoy - Childhood. Adolescence. Youth. Gift book bound in leather.

The famous autobiographical trilogy "Childhood. Adolescence. Youth", based on real events, tells about the formation of a child's personality, the problem of self-determination, establishing relationships with the outside world.

"When I wrote Childhood, it seemed to me that no one before me had ever felt and depicted all the charm and poetry of childhood," these words, said by Leo Tolstoy fifty-six years after the end of the autobiographical trilogy and two years before his death, show exactly what this work was dear to its extremely demanding author - and why it is so dear to modern readers of all ages.

The stories are accompanied by illustrations by Alexander Apsit, who conceived a series of drawings for "Childhood. Adolescence. Youth" during Tolstoy's lifetime.
