Autor

Count Lev Nikolayevich Tolstoy, known more commonly as Leo Tolstoy, was one of the most renowned authors in the world literature. Born to an aristocratic Russian family on September 9, 1828, in Yasnaya Polyana, his extensive body of work is celebrated for its profound insights into human nature and morality. Tolstoy's literary style combines intricate character development with a clear ethical stance, often emphasizing the importance of nonviolent resistance and spiritual awakening. His masterpieces, 'War and Peace' (1869) and 'Anna Karenina' (1877), are cornerstones of realist fiction, characterizing the author's keen observation, psychological depth, and historical realism. Tolstoy's later life was marked by a profound moral and spiritual crisis, after which he formulated a unique Christian philosophy that greatly influenced his works and resulted in treatises such as 'The Kingdom of God Is Within You' (1894). The 'Complete Works of Tolstoy' encompasses not only his novels but also short stories, plays, and philosophical essays, presenting a comprehensive view of his intellectual legacy. Tolstoy's explorations of ethical living, his critique of organized religion and government, and his vehement advocacy for nonviolence have ensured his place not only in literature but also in the broader landscape of human thought. He passed away on November 20, 1910, at the age of 82, leaving behind a legacy that continues to resonate in contemporary culture.
