Summary "Lapsuus, Poika-ikä, Nuoruus 1: Lapsuus" by Leo Tolstoy is a novel written in the early 19th century." This work explores the author's early life and is structured as a semi-autobiographical account, focusing on childhood experiences through the eyes of the protagonist. The narrative largely revolves around the pivotal figures in his formative years, including his family and a notable tutor named Karl Ivanovitsh. "The opening of this novel introduces us to the ten-year-old narrator, who wakes up to find his tutor Karl Ivanovitsh whimsically trying to swat flies." The interaction between the narrator and his tutor reveals a mix of playful antagonism and underlying affection, providing a glimpse into the child's complex emotions. As the day progresses, we are further introduced to the family dynamics at play, where the mother is depicted as caring and gentle, while the father is portrayed with a sense of authority and responsibility. This opening sets the stage for exploring themes of childhood innocence, familial relationships, and the gradual shift toward adolescence, encapsulated in the narrator's reflections on his surroundings and the people in his life.
