G. Chertkov is a biographical narrative written in the early 20th century. The book explores the final years of the great Russian author Leo Tolstoy, delving into the circumstances surrounding his life, interpersonal relationships, and the motivations behind his departure from Yasnaya Polyana. It aims to clarify misconceptions about Tolstoy's actions, particularly regarding his struggles with his wife Sofya Andreyevna and his commitment to spiritual ideals. At the start of the text, the author reflects on the misunderstandings that have surrounded Tolstoy's last years and presents a poignant introduction that sets the tone for the subsequent examination of his life. The narrative commences with a letter that outlines the reasons for Chertkov's need to defend Tolstoy's legacy, suggesting that the external conditions of Tolstoy's life served as a trial of his consistency and spiritual strength. The opening portion suggests a deep exploration of Tolstoy's internal struggles related to his family life and sense of duty, positioning the reader to understand the complexities of a man who sought to live according to the profound truths he espoused.
