Nearly 150 years after the publication of War and Peace and 100 years after his death, Leo Tolstoy continues to be regarded as one of the worlda??s most accomplished novelists. Historically, little attention has been paid to his wife Sofia Andreevna Tolstaya. Acting in the capacity of literary assistant, translator, transcriber, and editor, she played an integral part in the development of Tolstoya??s legacy. Her complete and unabridged memoirs, available in English for the first time, provide a unique and intimate portrait of one of the greatest literary minds of all time. Sofia began writing My Life in 1904, starting with her memories of childhood. Her story takes us from the early years of her marriage to Tolstoy through the writing of War and Peace and Anna Karenina and into the first year of the twentieth century. Her remarkable narrative reveals the significant contributions Tolstaya made to her husbanda??s career and sheds new light on a beloved literary icon.
