Autorenporträt
Count Lev Nikolayevich Tolstoy, commonly known as Leo Tolstoy, was a Russian writer who is regarded as one of the greatest authors of all time. Born to an aristocratic Russian family in 1828, Tolstoy's extensive body of work is celebrated for its profound engagement with the moral and spiritual depths of human experience. His literary style combines realistic narrative with philosophical contemplation, offering a rich and textured exploration of the human condition. Tolstoy's oeuvre includes such monumental novels as 'War and Peace' (1869) and 'Anna Karenina' (1877), which delve into the complexity of social life and the contradictions of personal morality, earning him widespread acclaim and influence on global literature and thought. Beyond his well-known epics, Tolstoy also wrote shorter works that are highly esteemed, including 'Hadji Murad' (1912), a historical novella that posthumously showcased his storytelling brilliance and continued his exploration of themes of honor, courage, and the tragic conflicts that arise from cultural and political divides. Tolstoy's works have transcended their 19th-century Russian context to obtain universal value, reflecting his deep concerns with the nature of justice, non-violent resistance, and the search for the meaning of life, themes which he approached with an insight that remains compelling to this day. Tolstoy's philosophical treatises and moralistic views led him to adopt a pacifist and ascetic lifestyle, striving for social justice and advocating for land reforms and vegetarianism, making his personal life as much a subject of interest as his literary achievements.
