Wilson narrates the complex drama of the writers life: his childhood of aristocratic privilege but emotional deprivation, his discovery of his literary genius after aimless years of gambling and womanizing, and his increasingly disastrous marriage. Wilson sweeps away the long-held belief that Tolstoys works were the exact mirror of his life, and instead traces the roots of Tolstoys art to his relationship with God, with women, and with Russia.
