Description

In 1869, the third son was born to Lev Nikolaevich and Sofia Andreyevna Tolstoys, and he was given his father’s name. He tried to become a doctor, a writer (!), a sculptor, and a public and political figure. But everywhere he was accepted only as the son of the great writer, Lev Tolstoy’s “little one.” They jokingly called him Tiger Tigerovich. In the end—unfulfilled dreams and a broken life. Love for his father turned into hatred… Pavel Basinsky is a writer, journalist, and literary scholar. Winner of the “Big Book” prize. His engaging documentary studies of Lev Tolstoy’s life and work sparked a new wave of interest in the phenomenon of the “apostle of Yasnaya Polyana.” “The Lion in the Shadow of the Lion” continues the “Tolstoy: a New Look” series begun by the book “The True Story of Anna Karenina.”
