Alan Yentob takes an epic train ride through Leo Tolstoy's Russia, examining how Russia's great novelist became her great troublemaker.
Guided by the writer's astonishingly honest and confessional diaries, Yentob travels through ToIstoy's Russia looking at the life, work and Iegacy of the author of Anna Karenina and War And Peace. lt reveals a difficuIt, restIess, ferociously briIliant man with an appetite for causing troubIe both for himseIf, his family and for the world around him due to his fundamentalist views on God, vioIence and government.
"This biographical look at ToIstoy reveals what made him more than just a great noveIist, but aIso one of Russia's most important moral thinkers, and a Iife-Iong anti-authoritarian." The Daily Telegraph
"Evocative and ilIuminating...an eIegantIy assembled profiIe that incIudes telIing interviews and impressive images." The Sunday Times |
