Youth (1857) is a novel by Leo Tolstoy. Published at the beginning of his career as a leading Russian author of his generation, Youth is the third in a trilogy of semi-autobiographical novels tracing Nikolenkas journey from innocence to experience. As a record of the past, a nostalgic reminder of a lost world, Youth is one of Tolstoys most personal works, and yet his prose shows signs of the universal religious and philosophical themes that would inspire such masterpieces as War and Peace (1869) and Anna Karenina (1877). A story of life and death, love and grief, Youth is an invaluable treasure of Russian literature. Nevertheless there came a moment when those thoughts swept into my head with a sudden freshness and force of moral revelation which left me aghast at the amount of time which I had been wasting, and made me feel as though I must at oncethat very secondapply those thoughts to life, with the firm intention of never again changing them. It is from that moment that I date the beginning of my youth. Centered on his friendship with Dmitri and the trials he faces on his way to attending university, the final installment of Tolstoys trilogy finds Nikolenko on the cusp of adulthood, filled with passions and ideas that form his sense of individuality. As his story unfolds, we see him experience love, grief, and anger for the first time in his life, returning us for a brief moment to our own childhoods, the bittersweet memories of good and bad things that can never return. Praised for its expressionistic style and meditative prose, Youth won Tolstoy the attention of Russias literary elite, launching his career as one of the nineteenth centurys most influential artists. With a beautifully designed cover and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of Leo Tolstoys Youth is a classic work of Russian literature reimagined for modern readers.
