Youth

The story "Youth," continuing "Childhood" and "Boyhood," is the concluding part of L.N. Tolstoy's "autobiographical" trilogy. But it is not an autobiography or memoirs - the writer creates one of the most significant works of Russian literature on the theme of growing up based on the facts of his own life: no one before Tolstoy made such detailed observations of the development of a young person's soul, emphasizing the universal spiritual laws of this process. In "Youth," the main character realizes life goals, forms ideals of love and friendship, and begins spiritual development.
