Boris Akunjin is the pseudonym of Grigori Chhartishvili, a Muscovite of Georgian origin. Many of his novels have been screened, including "The State Counselor" starring the famous Russian director Nikita Mikhalkov and actor Oleg Menshikov.
Childhood (1852) is the first book of an autobiographical trilogy (with Adolescence and Youth), where Tolstoy explores the world of childhood through the eyes of a ten-year-old boy, Nikolinka Irtenjev – innocence, joys, sorrows and first traumas.
The novel represents Tolstoy's adaptation of Pinocchio by Carlo Collodi; he got the idea for the novel as a child, when he was read only the first part of the book, so he invented the rest himself.
