    About this ebook

    In this story, Tolstoy looks at a father and son in two generations. The older Count Turbin is a loveable rogue. He mistreats his servants, chases women, and gambles. Despite this, he is liked and well-treated by those who know him. His son disapproves of his father's behavior and tries to behave in a more reputable way, but he still does not get it right and is perceived as patronizing and a bit of a fool. Which is the better generation?

    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.
