As a youth, his world was gambling, wine, and wenching, but as a man he was bent on reforming the world in the image of Christian love. Despising violence, he made a fortune wriing about war.Famous and revered beyond any of his contemporaries, he died almost alone and alienated from the world. It is a book that is itself Tolstoyan, bursting with life, ideas, humanity, caharity, and spitefulness, love, war, peace, and passion.
