Published at the beginning of his career as a leading Russian author of his generation, \u003ci\u003eChildhood\u003c\/i\u003e is the first in a trilogy of semi-autobiographical novels tracing Nikolenka's journey from innocence to experience. As a record of the past, a nostalgic reminder of a lost world, \u003ci\u003eChildhood\u003c\/i\u003e is one of Tolstoy's most personal works, and yet his prose shows signs of the universal religious and philosophical themes that would inspire such masterpieces as \u003ci\u003eWar and Peace\u003c\/i\u003e (1869) and \u003ci\u003eAnna Karenina\u003c\/i\u003e (1877). A story of life and death, love and grief, \u003ci\u003eChildhood\u003c\/i\u003e is an invaluable treasure of Russian literature. \"How beautiful Mamma's face was when she smiled! It made her so infinitely more charming, and everything around her seemed to grow brighter! If in the more painful moments of my life I could have seen that smile before my eyes, I should never have known what grief is.\" Devoted to his mother, Nikolenka is a young Russian boy born into prosperity. As his story unfolds, we see him experience love, grief, and anger for the first time in his life, returning us for a brief moment to our own childhoods, the bittersweet memories of good and bad things that can never return. Praised for its expressionistic style and meditative prose, \u003ci\u003eChildhood\u003c\/i\u003e won Tolstoy the attention of Russia's literary elite, launching his career as one of the nineteenth century's most influential artists.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSince our inception in 2020, Mint Editions has kept sustainability and innovation at the forefront of our mission.
