A trio of semi-autobiographical novels, Childhood, Boyhood, and Youth portray a rich landowner’s son and his growing realization of the gulf between himself and his family’s peasants. Tolstoy’s childlike perspective, leavened with adult understanding, weaves a universal tale of the emotions, confusions, and fears of a young boy as he begins to understand his place in society and his growing awareness of the world around him.
