A. N. Wilson Knihy

The magnificent and definitive biography of Prince Albert, by one of Britain's best biographers and the author of Victoria: A Life.

A brilliant and insightful celebration of the imaginative genius of Charles Dickens, published to commemorate the 150th anniversary of his death.

A stunning, powerfully moving novel of faith and humanity, temptation and transgression from literary tour de force, A.N. Wilson.

In this work, A.N. Wilson's account shows how the decline of religious certainty in Victorian times had its origin with the 18th-century sceptics, and brought a devastating sense of emotional loss which extends to our own times.

From the author of the critically acclaimed Victoria comes a celebration of the life and times of Queen Elizabeth II.

In this landmark biography of Count Lev Nikolayevich Tolstoy, A.N. Wilson narrates the complex drama of the writer's life: his childhood of aristocratic privilege but emotional deprivation, his discovery of his literary genius after aimless years of gambling and womanizing, and his increasingly disastrous marriage. Wilson sweeps away the long-held belief that Tolstoy's works were the exact mirror of his life, and instead traces the roots of Tolstoy's art to his relationship with God, with women, and with Russia. He also breaks new ground in recreating the world that shaped the great novelist's life and art--the turmoil of ideas and politics in nineteenth-century Russia and the incredible literary renaissance that made Tolstoy's work possible. 24 pages of illustrations.
