This 1978 academic edition of Leo Tolstoy’s autobiographical trilogy—Childhood, Boyhood, and Youth—represents the pinnacle of Soviet textual criticism and literary scholarship. The text provides a deep dive into the internal logic of Tolstoy’s formative years and the evolution of his "dialectic of the soul," including the arrangement of the three novellas alongside extensive scholarly apparatus, variants, and early drafts. Prepared by the prominent Tolstoy scholar L. D. Opulskaya and edited by D. D. Blagoy, this volume functions as a vital primary source for researchers, offering a definitive text that adheres strictly to the author’s final intentions and historical context. As part of the prestigious "Literary Monuments" series, it bridges the gap between classic prose and rigorous scientific analysis, providing a comprehensive look at the genesis of the Great Russian Novelist.
