    About this ebook

    In "A Lost Opportunity," Tolstoy critiques the way that individuals often squander opportunities that could lead to personal growth and development. He argues that we often let these opportunities slip through our fingers because we're too busy chasing after things that don't really matter. Tolstoy believes that if we would just slow down and take the time to reflect on our lives, we would be able to see these lost opportunities for what they are and make the necessary changes to seize them.

    Author

    Leo Tolstoi

    Leo Tolstoy was born in 1828 in Tula, near Moscow. His parents, who both died when he was young, belonged to the Russian nobility, and to the end of his life Tolstoy remained conscious of his aristocratic status. His novels, ‘War and Peace’ and ‘Anna Karenina’ are literary classics and he is revered as one of the greatest writers of the nineteenth century. He died in 1910 at the age of 82.
