A N Wilson's authoritative biography is an excellent starting point for further knowledge of one of literature's giants. This is a very readable and entertaining journey through the life of a great writer. AN Wilson rarely slackens the pace and all the major novels and stories plus the most important non-fiction works are subjected to his keen critical eye. His analysis of Tolstoy's technique of pouring his own life and that of his family into his fiction is very revealing and Wilson evidently has a great admiration for the old man.
