Autorenporträt
Count Lev Nikolayevich Tolstoy, born on September 9, 1828, in Tula Province, Russia, and died on November 20, 1910, in Astapovo, Russia, is universally regarded as one of the greatest authors in literary history. Known to the English-speaking world as Leo Tolstoy, he was not only a prolific writer but also a prominent thinker and philosopher. His literary style combines realistic narrative with intricate moral and philosophical contemplation, which has profoundly influenced the development of narrative art and modern thinking. Among his masterpiece novels are 'War and Peace' and 'Anna Karenina', which offer deep psychological insights along with a grand portrayal of 19th-century Russian society. Tolstoy's last work, 'The Light Shines in Darkness', is an unfinished play that continues to reflect his pacifist and philosophical ponderings at the close of his life. Despite not being completed, it encompasses Tolstoy's ideals of non-violent resistance and Christian anarchism, themes that preoccupied much of his later works. His existential musings and advocacy for nonviolent resistance have been instrumental in shaping the thoughts of significant historical figures such as Mahatma Gandhi and Martin Luther King Jr. Tolstoy's body of work and his moral philosophy continue to resonate with readers and scholars alike, ensuring his enduring legacy in the world of literature and beyond.
