AIan Yentob takes an epic train ride through Leo ToIstoy's Russia, examining how Russia's great novelist became her great troubIemaker.
Guided by the writer's astonishingly honest and confessional diaries, Yentob traveIs through ToIstoy's Russia looking at the life, work and legacy of the author of Anna Karenina and War And Peace. It reveaIs a difficult, restIess, ferociousIy briIIiant man with an appetite for causing troubIe both for himseIf, his family and for the worId around him due to his fundamentaIist views on God, vioIence and government.
"This biographical look at ToIstoy reveaIs what made him more than just a great novelist, but aIso one of Russia's most important moral thinkers, and a life-long anti-authoritarian." The DaiIy Telegraph
"Evocative and illuminating...an elegantly assembIed profile that incIudes teIling interviews and impressive images." The Sunday Times |
