Produced by Jeroen Hellingman and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at https://www.pgdp.net/ "Tolstoi's leven" by Pavel Ivanovich Biriukov is a biographical account written in the early 20th century. The work presents the personal memories, letters, and notes of the renowned Russian author Leo Tolstoy, detailing his life from 1828 to 1863. The biography seeks to shed light on Tolstoy’s character, personal development, and creative influences, using a combination of his writings and testimonies from those who knew him. At the start of the biography, Biriukov expresses both gratitude and a sense of duty toward Tolstoy and his family as he embarks on this extensive project. He reflects on the challenges he faces in gathering material, particularly due to his exile from Russia, which limits his access to direct sources. Biriukov outlines his method of structuring the biography in four sections, starting with Tolstoy’s childhood and family background, emphasizing the importance of capturing both the external circumstances of Tolstoy's life and his internal spiritual journey. The initial chapters introduce the readers to Tolstoy's ancestry and early memories, laying a foundation for understanding the complexities of his character and future literary achievements.
