Description

Boyhood by Leo Tolstoy is the second volume of his autobiographical trilogy, offering a deeply reflective portrayal of a young boy’s transition from childhood into adolescence. The novel captures the emotional, moral, and psychological changes that shape the early formation of character.

Tolstoy examines the inner conflicts of youth—pride, guilt, self-awareness, and moral questioning—through everyday experiences involving family, education, and social relationships. His focus on subtle emotional shifts rather than dramatic events gives the narrative its enduring realism and depth.

Through clear and thoughtful prose, Tolstoy reveals how conscience and self-reflection begin to guide human behavior. The themes explored in Boyhood anticipate the philosophical concerns that later dominate Tolstoy’s major works, making this novel an important part of his literary development.

Concise yet profound, Boyhood is ideal for students of literature, scholars of Russian fiction, and general readers interested in coming-of-age narratives and autobiographical classics.
