"Childhood by Leo Tolstoy: Epitome" is a faithful and concise summary of the first part of Leo Tolstoy's autobiographical trilogy.

Originally published in 1852, Childhood offers a tender and introspective look at the early years of the author through the eyes of Nikolai, his fictional alter ego.

This epitome highlights the key moments, main characters, and central themes — such as innocence, self-discovery, family, and Russian society in the 19th century — carefully distilled to preserve the spirit of the original work. Ideal for students, curious readers, and classic literature lovers, this compact version makes a cornerstone of Russian literature more accessible and digestible.
