More Info

Leo Tolstoy (1828–1910) was a renowned Russian writer, best known for his epic novels and philosophical works. He is considered one of the greatest authors of all time. Some of his most famous works include:

  1. "War and Peace" (1869) – A historical novel set during the Napoleonic Wars, it explores themes of history, free will, and human experience through the lives of aristocratic Russian families.
  2. "Anna Karenina" (1877) – This tragic love story examines the complexities of family, morality, and the conflict between personal happiness and societal norms.

Tolstoy was also a social reformer and a thinker who espoused nonviolence and simple living. He had strong spiritual beliefs, particularly later in life, and became a Christian anarchist, rejecting organized religion and advocating for pacifism, vegetarianism, and the rejection of private property. His ideas on nonviolent resistance deeply influenced figures like Mahatma Gandhi and Martin Luther King Jr.
