Description
Boyhood by Leo Tolstoy is the second installment in Tolstoy's semi-autobiographical trilogy, following Childhood and preceding Youth. The novel continues to explore the development of the protagonist, Nikolai, as he transitions from early adolescence to the cusp of adulthood. Set in the Russian aristocracy, it delves into Nikolai’s experiences and inner life as he navigates the complexities of growing up. The story captures his evolving relationships with family, friends, and his burgeoning sense of identity. Through a series of vivid and often poignant episodes, Tolstoy portrays the psychological and emotional changes Nikolai undergoes, reflecting on themes of personal growth, societal expectations, and the pursuit of self-discovery. The novel does well in touching on both the struggles and the beauty of teen-hood, capturing idealistic youth and the gradual learning of life's nuances.
