Autorenporträt
Count Lev Nikolayevich Tolstoy, best known as Leo Tolstoy, was a towering figure in world literature, synonymous with the depth and grandeur of the Russian epic narrative. Born to an aristocratic Russian family in 1828, in Yasnaya Polyana, his literary career spanned over six decades, during which he produced some of the most acclaimed works in the history of literature. Tolstoy's magnum opus, 'War and Peace,' is often cited as one of the greatest novels ever written (Tolstoy, L., 1869). It masterfully interweaves the lives of individuals with the tumultuous Napoleonic era, deeply exploring themes of war, society, family, and human existence. Tolstoy's realist prose was groundbreaking in its psychological depth, employing a literary technique that closely examined the motivations, personal growth, and moral struggles of his characters. Balancing philosophical musings with intricate character development, Tolstoy's narratives remain a cornerstone of realist fiction. His contributions to literature have influenced countless authors and continue to captivate readers, scholars, and critics alike, cementing his legacy as one of the most influential writers of the 19th and early 20th centuries. He died in 1910, leaving behind a body of work that continues to be revered and studied for its profound impact on literature and society.
