Features: This book is the diary of Tolstoy's wife, C.A. Tolstaya, from 1862 to 1910. Tolstoy's wife was not only intelligent, unique, energetic, hardworking, and well-mannered but also possessed natural literary talent, extraordinary insight, and refined aesthetic taste. These qualities make the book exceptionally authentic and fitting in portraying the complex, melancholic, and emotionally tormented mind of a woman. The Chinese version of this diary sparked significant attention in the early 1980s, and this edition is a revised and selected collection. Tolstoy was a great Russian writer of the 19th century, with humanism as the main theme of his works. His gaze was always fixed on the people, and for decades, one idea haunted him: "It is shameful to live in a state of surrounding poverty." In this book, you can see a Leo Tolstoy as a husband and a father, a Tolstoy previously unknown to us, a Leo Tolstoy gradually detaching himself from his family and wholeheartedly dedicating himself to the world of humanism! This is the diary written by Tolstoy's wife, the great Russian writer, about the family life and relationships within his family. It provides a glimpse into a previously unknown Leo Tolstoy—a father, a husband, a brother, a younger brother, and a son.
