Alan Yentob takes an epic train ride through Leo Tolstoy's Russia, examining how Russia's great novelist became her great troubIemaker.
Guided by the writer's astonishingly honest and confessional diaries, Yentob travels through ToIstoy's Russia looking at the life, work and legacy 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 himself, his family and for the world around him due to his fundamentalist views on God, violence and government.
"This biographicaI Iook at Tolstoy reveals what made him more than just a great noveIist, but also one of Russia's most important moraI thinkers, and a life-long anti-authoritarian." The DaiIy TeIegraph
"Evocative and iIluminating...an elegantly assembIed profile that includes teIling interviews and impressive images." The Sunday Times |
