Abstract
The article is devoted to analysing L. N. Tolstoy’s autobiographical trilogy “Childhood”, “Boyhood”, “Youth” in the context of the formation of the epic leitmotif of his creative world. Scientific novelty of the research is determined by studying the trilogy as the writer’s first epic conception. The aim of the research is to analyse the means of implementing epic worldview and establish a connection between the trilogy and the author’s novelistic work. The attained results have shown that epic nature of the trilogy is contingent on magnitude of creative challenge (to depict different ages as life stages), choice of the protagonist and the type of conflict (a conscientious person, prone to have an analytical outlook on life, seeking the true meaning of life), with its resolution relying upon the protagonist’s progression from “I” towards the world.
