Reader comments
I recently read Tolstoy and I really enjoyed it! Romain Rolland painted Tolstoy's life so vividly that I seemed to be able to see his thoughts and struggles while creating. However, I kind of hate the nobles in the book. Their selfishness and hypocrisy are disgusting. But this also highlights the greatness of Tolstoy. His humanitarian spirit is really admirable! Fu Lei's translation is also great, the writing is beautiful and it is very comfortable to read. I think this is a book worth reading and I recommend it to you!
