Leo Tolstoy (1828-1910) was a Russian author who wrote novels and plays, and is widely considered one of the greatest authors of all time. His works include War and Peace, Anna Karenina, and The Death of Ivan Ilyich. Tolstoy was born in the Tula Province of Russia, and was educated at the University of Kazan. After graduating, he worked as a teacher and in the army before embarking on his writing career. His first published work was Childhood, a semi-autobiographical novel, in 1852. Tolstoy is known for his philosophical and spiritual outlook. His works often explore questions of morality, justice, and the meaning of life. His later works focus on religious issues, such as non-violence, and his essays on Christianity and anarchism had a profound influence on Mahatma Gandhi and other political activists. In addition to his literary career, Tolstoy was a public figure who actively promoted social reform. He sought to improve the conditions of peasants and the working class, and proposed a system of education and land reform. He also became a vocal advocate of vegetarianism and animal rights. Tolstoy's works have been translated into more than 50 languages, and remain popular today. His influence in literature, politics, and philosophy continues to be felt around the world.
