A new translation into modern American English directly from the original Russian manuscript. This edition contains an Afterword by the translator, a timeline of Tolstoy's life and works, and a glossary of philosophic terminology used throughout Tolstoy's literature and philosophy. Boyhood (1854) by Leo Tolstoy is the second installment of his semi-autobiographical trilogy, continuing the story of Nikolenka as he enters adolescence. Set against the backdrop of the Russian countryside and provincial society, the novel delves into Nikolenka's inner struggles, dreams, and evolving perceptions of the world around him. Tolstoy's keen observations of human nature and his ability to capture the complexities of coming-of-age make "Boyhood" a significant literary work. The philosophical merit of the book lies in its exploration of the themes of identity, morality, and the search for meaning in life.
