The book is dedicated to Lev Nikolaevich Tolstoi, Russian genius, one of the brightest figures of the XXth century. Nina Nikitina - the author of the book, specialist in culture, who studied the phenomenon of that global personality - examines the portrait of the Russian and world literature classic in the context of his everyday life. What else could help to understand the genius better, than his surroundings, habits and daily routine? Nikitina succeeded to make a complex portrait of Lev Tolstoi, showing him as a writer, family man, teacher, master of Yasnaya Polyana, hunter, gourmet and, at the same time, as a great person gripped with doubts, temptations, passions, illnesses and fear of death.
