A richly detailed biography of Sophia Tolstoy, wife of the great Russian novelist Leo Tolstoy. Alexander Popoff presents a vivid portrait of a woman whose life was marked by love, creativity, and conflict.
Sophia Tolstoy: A Biography by Alexander Popoff offers a compelling exploration of one of Russia’s most remarkable women. Married to literary giant Leo Tolstoy for nearly half a century, Sophia Tolstoy was more than a muse—she was a writer, translator, editor, and mother of thirteen children. Drawing on letters, diaries, and historical sources, Popoff paints a nuanced picture of her enduring influence on Tolstoy’s work and her struggle to assert her own identity.
