Within this biography of Count up Lev Nikolaevich Tolstoy, A. N. Wilson narrates the complex dilemma of the writer's life: his childhood of aristocratic privilege but mental deprivation, his discovery of his literary genius after aimless years of gambling and womanizing, and his more and more disastrous relationship. Wilson sweeps away the long-held belief that Tolstoy's works were the precise mirror of his life and instead traces the root base of Tolstoy's skill to his marriage with God, with women, and with Russia. He also re-creates the earth that shaped the great novelist's life and skill - the turmoil of ideas and politics in 19th-century Russia and the literary renaissance that made Tolstoy's work possible.
