What shapes a person's character? How does one grow from innocence to wisdom?

In Childhood, Boyhood, Youth, Leo Tolstoy crafts an evocative and introspective novel that follows the journey of a young nobleman, Nikolai, as he navigates the joys and pains of growing up. From the carefree wonder of childhood to the emotional turbulence of adolescence and the idealistic aspirations of youth, Tolstoy paints a deeply moving portrait of self-discovery and transformation.

Throughout the novel, Nikolai experiences first love, deep friendships, personal disappointments, and the struggle to define his place in the world. With rich psychological insight, Tolstoy captures the universal themes of identity, morality, and the passage of time.
