He was a wealthy aristocrat who preached the virtues of poverty and the peasant life, a misogynist who wrote \u003cem\u003eAnna Karenina\u003c\/em\u003e, and a supreme writer who declared: \"Literature is rubbish.\" Yet his titanic personality and the astonishing range of his talents and interests made him, as an author and as a strange self-proclaimed prophet, one of the undisputed literary giants of the nineteenth century. From his famously bad marriage to his enormously successful career, Troyat presents a brilliant portrait that reads like an epic novel written by Tolstoy himself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 768\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.56 x 9.08 x 5.98 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e January 18, 2001\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":63361932427345,"sku":"9780802137685","price":27.84,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0620\/5023\/8545\/files\/Iy4w6Y41tj9780802137685.webp?v=1793443978","url":"https:\/\/apocalypsevinyl.com\/products\/tolstoy-paperback","provider":"Apocalypse Vinyl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
