Childhood. Adolescence. Youth

An amazing, piercing, and lyrical trilogy into which Leo Tolstoy invested a considerable amount of autobiographical motifs. Before the reader unfolds day by day the life of Nikolai Irtenev, a boy from an aristocratic Russian family - childhood games, relationships with friends, first love, death of his mother, absurd and funny mistakes of the first steps "in society", which seem fateful and tragic in youth. The hero of the trilogy matures literally before our eyes - and we involuntarily experience his joys and sorrows, victories and defeats as our own.
