Biriukov expresses both gratitude and a sense of duty toward Tolstoy and his family as he embarks on this extensive project. He reflects on the challenges he faces in gathering material, particularly due to his exile from Russia, which limits his access to direct sources.

The initial chapters introduce the readers to Tolstoy's ancestry and early memories, laying a foundation for understanding the complexities of his character and future literary achievements.
