Childhood(Tolstoy novel)-Review

Tolstoy's novel is a series of three legends about human history beginning at the age of 23, after he left university, and left the distractions of a wealthy young man whose parents died young. I read the Kindle program for works collected by Tolstoy in translation.

Leo Tolstoy's first writing career began with the novel "Childhood," the first part of the trilogy "Childhood." The main interest in the story was to focus on the personality of its protagonist, Nikolenka Irteniev. Although he wanted to write the fourth part in the name of his latest work A History of the Four Ages, he did not write the last four chapters, which dealt with the hero's maturity.

The author follows the trail of the gradual growth of his infant soul and the small manifestation of his soul. In the first chapter of "Nikolenka," the reader immerses himself in a state of noble life at the end of the 19th century.

The next hero is a German-born teacher, Karl Ivanovich, a friend, who opens the story. Within minutes, insulting this type of person turns Nikolenka into a haunting monster.

The plight of the servant Karl Ivanitch, a German who worked as a teacher for many years but was fired after his mother's death, reminds me of Gautama's youthful prince who was protected from the tragic loss of his parents, his death in poverty, and old age leading to spiritual enlightenment. The argument with Natalia Savishna, who has devoted her entire life to the education of mother and children, is painful for the Child. After gaining his freedom, he takes it as a sign of shame and undue punishment and tears through the document.

Meanwhile, surrounded by family and friends, she remembers the happy, carefree times of her childhood. In a story that can be described as human life, it restores the state of one's childhood. It looks bright and happy, with a forgotten sadness and nothing less than being angry with the people you love.

The legends compiled by Brothers Grimm in the original 1812 edition are often violent and intimidating. The collection includes inspiring content such as "The Dead Man Born Well Lean Free" and "The Plump Chain of a Young Boy," and stories such as "The One Who Doesn't Go to Town" is as constructive as they sound.

Grimm's story is about a child's play when a child cuts its little brother's throat, his mother's death, and from then on it gets worse. The brothers Grimm found the story unfit for their book and placed it in the second part of the collection. Tolstoy's narrative is rare because it lacks the depth of the relationship and the hatred of ancient myths.

Leo Nikolaevich Tolstoy was born on August 28, 1828, in a long line of Russian officials. Detttvo, Leo Tolstoy's first novel published, appeared under the initials L. In the famous Russian magazine Contemporary November 1852.

When Leo Tolstoy was 23 years old in 1852, Tolstoy's novel was a quick success. As someone who loves Anna Karenina (I've read her three times now), I was curious about the author of this book, but when I got the chance to read her history, a mixture of facts and myths, I really took it seriously.

Leo's other brothers are Sergey (b. 1826), Dmitriy (1827-1855), and Mary (b. 1830). I believe childhood is told from the perspective of a 10-year-old boy. Egocentric also look at examples and definitely picks the wrong ones.
