description: The discovery of the great works of Tolstoy in France between 1885 and 1887 was a revelation to the young generation of French intellectuals. Among them, Romain Rolland, the future Nobel Prize winner. In this work he pictures the eventful life and frescoes of the man who he considered a "Titan of literature", a spiritual messenger. It shows how his life was an epic: aristocratic childhood, Crimean War, fleeing into the unknown and death in the small station of Astopovo; or how Tolstoy was a mystic and preacher, prophet, genius, and enemy of the Orthodox Church and the clergy.
