{"product_id":"9781420936841","title":"Childhood, Boyhood, and Youth","description":"Begun in 1851, when Tolstoy was twenty-three and serving as a cadet in the Russian army, \u003ci\u003eChildhood\u003c\/i\u003e, the first part of Tolstoy’s first novel, won immediate praise from Turgenev and others, and marked Tolstoy’s emergence as a major writer. Its originality was striking, as Tolstoy sought to communicate with great immediacy the “poetry” of childhood—the intense emotions, confusions, and fears attendant upon a young boy, Nikolenka, as he grows up. In the years following, \u003ci\u003eBoyhood\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eYouth\u003c\/i\u003e appeared (a fourth volume was planned but never executed), each replete with psychological and philosophical subtleties hitherto unknown in Russian literature. In Scammell’s resplendent translation, \u003ci\u003eChildhood, Boyhood, and Youth\u003c\/i\u003e remains one of Tolstoy’s major works.
