Dozens of memoirs have been written about Leo Tolstoy, including the memoirs of his closest relatives, the smallest facts of his biography are reflected in hundreds of letters and diary entries of his contemporaries. Nevertheless, his life continues to be a mystery. How did a great writer and philosopher emerge from a "trifling little man" who received no systematic education? What did his "spiritual revolution" mean? What prompted him to give up his property and literary rights? Why was he excommunicated from the Church? What were the real reasons for his several attempts to leave home? Why did he go to the Optina Desert before his death? Writer and journalist, winner of the literary prize "Big Book" Pavel Basinsky summarizes his many years of searching for the "true Tolstoy" in a book written on the basis of extensive documentary material, from which the reader learns why Tolstoy sold his father's house, why in his old age for a month and a half learned Greek language, how to save dozens of starving people, why he did not like "Tolstovites", for what six times rewrote his will ... In short, this is a complete biography of the literary genius in a small format.
