Boyhood

[bazarov]

It's a story about first part of writers life, from his happy life with parents in countryside, his education at home and leaving for Moskva without his mother for his further education. In Moskva he finds his first love, Sonya, and lives nice and interesting life until his sudden return to home. His mother will die in coming days, and soon after her, dies also his mothers nanny, two women he loved very much...
Nice story, although it doesn't have so many great ideas, probably because of writers young ages.

I haven't read this yet, I have a few more of his stories that I want to get through and then maybe I'll give it a try. So, would you go so far as to recommend it?

[bazarov]

Well, don't expect something good as War and Peace or Anna Karenina, but it's good, worth to read especially if you're Tolstoy's fan:D . That book was his entrance to respected-writers club, something like
Poor Folk were to Dostoevsky.

Well I have read all three parts of his trilogy and it was OK, but nothing special. It is interesting to read to find out more about the writer and better understand him. Also the third part would be nice to read before "Resurrection" whose main hero- Dmitry Nehludov was his name, if I'm not mistaken- is part of the plot.
