Life with Father - Tolstoy

The author of the book is Leo Tolstoy's youngest daughter, who lived with her father for twenty-five years until his death. She was one of his closest confidantes and, in her memoirs, she chronicles the development of these relationships in the final years of his life, when he was going through a spiritual and family crisis, in need of love and understanding. The book is a vivid and interesting memoir that depicts family life and narrates the circumstances of the author's final years, when Tolstoy decided to renounce his authorial rights and make his works freely available to the public. His wife, however, rejected this choice, and his daughter sided with her father in this dispute. Trusting her, he granted her the right to manage his works after his passing.
