The author of this book is Marta Albertini (born 1937), great-granddaughter of Leo Tolstoy, granddaughter of the writer’s eldest daughter Tatyana Lvovna Tolstoy. The book, written in French between 2018 and 2020, tells the life story of Leo Tolstoy's wife, children and grandchildren, spanning almost a century, from the 1880s to the 1980s. The narrative is based on the author’s memories and personal study of a large array of materials from the collections of the State Museum of Leo Tolstoy, a significant part of which is being published for the first time. M. Albertini conveys with special feeling the thoughts and experiences of members of Leo Tolstoy’s family, especially his grandmother, T. L. Sukhotina-Tolstaya, and mother, T. M. Albertini-Sukhotina. The author immerses the members of the Tolstoy family into the world of joys and anxieties, allowing you to see pictures of their private life against the backdrop of social changes at the beginning of the XNUMXth century, to understand the directions of moral searches and the causes of losses in the conditions of historical cataclysms, wars, revolutions and emigration. The author's reflections, expressed emotionally, with confessional sincerity and frankness, are of unconditional value for the reader.
The publication presents rare photographs and manuscripts from the collections of the State Museum of Leo Tolstoy.
