Description
"Me and the wife I love the way no one has ever loved anyone in the world… But I know everything, and I hold her tightly, and I kiss her lovely eyes—those cheeks blushing shyly and those rosy lips smiling…" This is what Leo Tolstoy said about Sofya Andreevna. But a truly happy person couldn’t have written the most brilliant phrase about unhappy families. The mysterious, even somewhat frightening, figure of Tolstoy attracted—and will continue to attract—both writers and readers. However, focusing on the last years of the classic’s life, on his strange escape, it’s important not to forget that Tolstoy’s youth and maturity, his personal life, are far more unclear and contradictory. A new book by the well-known writer Andrey Shlyakhov about the great Leo Tolstoy and, at first glance, modest and quiet spouse.
