About this ebook
Complete and unabridged, with 60 full-page plates by Ivan Shishkin, Ivan Kramskoi and Alexey Venetsianov. The third part of Tolstoy's autobiographical trilogy: Moscow University, a boy of sixteen who has decided to become perfect, the rules he writes in a notebook, his first drunk, his first calls on society, and the exam he fails. Tolstoy wrote it in his twenties, just back from Sevastopol; the honesty is already frightening — no writer has ever caught the vanity of a serious young man more precisely, or with less mercy for his younger self. Sixty plates of painting, from Fedotov's fresh cavalier waking to his first state order to Repin's later canvases, trace the same comedy of rank, courtship and self-importance that Tolstoy's young man acts out.
