Overview

Childhood (pre-reform Russian: ; post-reform ) is the first published novel by Leo Tolstoy, released under the initials L. N. in the November 1852 issue of the popular Russian literary journal The Contemporary. It is the first in a series of three novels, followed by Boyhood and Youth. Published when Tolstoy was just twenty-three years old, the book was an immediate success. It earned Tolstoy notice from other Russian novelists including Ivan Turgenev, who heralded the young Tolstoy as a major up-and-coming figure in Russian literature. Childhood explores the inner life of a young boy, Nikolenka. It is one of the books in Russian writing to explore an expressionistic style, mixing fact, fiction, and emotions to render the moods and reactions of the narrator. Excerpt "Will the freshness, lightheartedness, the need for love, and strength of faith which you have in childhood ever return? What better time than when the two best virtues -- innocent joy and the boundless desire for love -- were the only motives in life?"

Notable quotes

— Brian Aldiss, Billion Year Spree : The History of Science Fiction (1973); and the revised edition: Trillion Year Spree : The History of Science Fiction (1986).
“Early experience conditions adult life; childhood is the precinct in which we learn the rituals of maturity.”
— Henry Hitchings, Dr Johnson's Dictionary: The Book that Defined the World, first edition 2005, 2006 paperback edition, page 11 (ISBN 0719566320).
“It is a wise father that knows his own child.”
— William Shakespeare, The Merchant of Venice (late 1590s), Act II, scene 2, line 80.
“When I was a child, I spake as a child. I understood as a child, I thought as a child; but when I became a man, I put away childish things.”
— I Corinthians, XIII. 11.
“Train up a child in the way he should go; and when he is old he will not depart from it.”
— Proverbs, XXII. 6.
“The sweetest roamer is a boy's young heart.”
— George E. Woodberry, Agathon.
