Leo Tolstoy (1828-1910) was a Russian writer and philosopher who is widely regarded as one of the greatest novelists of all time. Born into an aristocratic family in Yasnaya Polyana, Russia, Tolstoy received a privileged education and went on to serve in the Russian army during the Crimean War.
After leaving the army, Tolstoy began to devote himself to writing, and his literary career quickly took off. He is best known for his novels, including “War and Peace” and “Anna Karenina,” which are considered masterpieces of realist fiction.
In addition to his literary work, Tolstoy also became increasingly interested in social and political issues. He became a pacifist and anarchist, advocating for nonviolent resistance and the rejection of organized religion.
Tolstoy’s later years were marked by a crisis of faith and a growing sense of moral outrage at the inequalities of Russian society. He died in 1910 at the age of 82, leaving behind a legacy as one of the greatest writers and thinkers of the 19th century.
