The author of this book is Martha Albertini (born 1937), great-granddaughter of Leo Tolstoy and granddaughter of the writer's eldest daughter, Tatiana L. Tolstoy. The book, written in 2018-2020 in French, tells the life story of Leo Tolstoy's wife, children and grandchildren, covering almost a hundred years, from the 1880s to the 1980s. The narrative is based on the author's memoirs and personal study of a large array of materials from the collections of the Leo Tolstoy State Museum, much of which is published for the first time. M. Albertini conveys with special feeling the thoughts and experiences of Leo Tolstoy's family members, especially his grandmother, T. L. Sukhotina-Tolstoy, and mother, T. M. Albertini-Sukhotina. The author plunges into the world of joys and anxieties of the Tolstoy family members, allowing us to see pictures of their private life against the background of social changes of the early XX century, to understand the directions of moral search and the causes of loss in the conditions of historical cataclysms, wars, revolutions and emigration. The author's reflections, expressed emotionally, with confessional sincerity and frankness, are of undoubted value to the reader.
The edition includes rare photographs and manuscripts from the collections of the Leo Tolstoy State Museum.
