Features: Leo Tolstoy was a great Russian writer of the 19th century, and humanitarianism formed the main theme of his works. His gaze was always focused on the people. For decades, one idea had tormented him: "It is no longer acceptable to live a shameful life amidst surrounding poverty." In this book, you will see 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 immersing himself in the world of humanitarianism! This book is a diary of Tolstoy's wife, C.A. Tolstoy, from 1862 to 1910. Tolstoy's wife was not only intelligent, unique, energetic, hardworking, and well-mannered but also possessed a natural literary talent, extraordinary intuition, and refined aesthetic taste. These qualities made this diary particularly authentic and sincere in portraying the complex, melancholic, contradictory, and emotionally tormented heart of a woman. This diary, in its Chinese version, had a significant impact in the early 1980s. This edition is a revised and selected version translated by a new translator.
