Sneak peek @ Sofia Tolstoy's memoirs!

Yesterday, our managing editor Marie Clausén went to oversee the printing of our upcoming book My Life, otherwise known as the long lost memoirs of Sofia Andreevna Tolstoya.

If the name doesn’t ring a bell immediately, here’s a little background.

Sofia was the wife of the celebrated writer and philosopher Leo Tolstoy, who wrote such classics as War and Peace, Anna Karenina, and The Kreutzer Sonata. In her memoirs, she gives readers an intimate look into the life of her family and a unique portrait of late-19th-century and early-20th-century Russia. To find out more about the book, visit the website.

Here’s a behind-the-scenes look at the printing of the book:
