Summary:
Count Lev Nikolayevich Tolstoy (1828-1910) commonly referred to in
English as Leo Tolstoy, was a Russian writer - novelist, essayist,
dramatist and philosopher - as well as pacifist Christian anarchist
and educational reformer. He was the most influential member of the
aristocratic Tolstoy family. His first publications were three
autobiographical novels, Childhood, Boyhood, and Youth (1852-1856).
They tell of a rich landowner's son and his slow realization of the
differences between him and his peasants. As a fiction writer Tolstoy
is widely regarded as one of the greatest of all novelists,
particularly noted for his masterpieces War and Peace (1869) and Anna
Karenina (1877). In their scope, breadth and realistic depiction of
19th-century Russian life, the two books stand at the peak of realist
fiction. As a moral philosopher Tolstoy was notable for his ideas on
nonviolent resistance through works such as The Kingdom of God is
Within You (1894).
