Autor

Count Lev Nikolayevich Tolstoy, known in English as Leo Tolstoy (1828-1910), was a Russian writer who is regarded as one of the greatest authors of all time. Born to an aristocratic Russian family in 1828, he is best known for two of his novels, 'War and Peace' (1869) and 'Anna Karenina' (1877), which are commonly cited as pinnacles of realist fiction. His works are celebrated for their exploration of human experience, their emphasis on morality, and their unprecedented attention to detail. Tolstoy's literary craft transcended the novel form; he also wrote short stories, essays, and plays. His later life was marked by his moral and spiritual beliefs, which infused his writing and led to his development of a unique Christian anarchism. The compilation 'Leo Tolstoy: The Complete Novels' preserves Tolstoy's substantial contribution to literature, housing works ranging from his early autobiographical trilogy to his later, more philosophically driven texts. His profound influence on literature and on the hearts and minds of readers and writers alike continues to be felt today. Tolstoy's writing style is characterized by complex characters, realistic dialogue, and meticulous detail. His ethical beliefs about non-violent resistance, expressed in works such as 'The Kingdom of God is Within You' (1894), had a profound impact on prominent 20th-century figures, including Mahatma Gandhi and Martin Luther King Jr.
