О аутору

Leo Tolstoy (1828-1910) stands as a towering figure in world literature, renowned for his profound exploration of human nature and society. Born into Russian aristocracy, Tolstoy's early life was marked by privilege, yet he was deeply affected by the suffering he witnessed around him. This duality fueled his literary genius and moral inquiries.Tolstoy's literary contributions are monumental, with works like "War and Peace" and "Anna Karenina" offering intricate portrayals of Russian life and the human condition. His narrative style, characterized by deep psychological insight and philosophical depth, has influenced countless writers, from Virginia Woolf to James Joyce.However, Tolstoy's significance extends beyond literature. He was a vocal critic of institutionalized religion and the state, advocating for a return to a simpler, more spiritual way of life. His later years were marked by a radical transformation, embracing pacifism, Christian anarchism, and asceticism. These revolutionary ideas inspired figures like Mahatma Gandhi and Martin Luther King Jr., cementing his legacy as a thinker who transcended the written word.Controversially, Tolstoy's rejection of his aristocratic roots and his tumultuous relationship with his wife, Sofia, added a dramatic flair to his life story. His relentless quest for truth and authenticity, often at odds with societal norms, continues to captivate modern readers, making him not just a literary icon, but a timeless beacon of moral and philosophical inquiry.
