Autorenporträt

Leo Tolstoy (1828-1910) was a Russian author, widely regarded as one of the world's greatest novelists. His most famous novels include the epic 'War and Peace' and the tragic 'Anna Karenina'. His work also includes several short stories and a semi-autobiographical trilogy which included his own recollections of the Crimean War in 'Sevastopol Sketches'. He had a spiritual awakening in the 1870s, and became an ardent pacifist, incorporating this into his work 'The Kingdom of God is Within You' which is said to have had a profound impact on the non-violent resistance of Mahatma Gandhi. Contemporaries and admirers of his work included Fyodor Dostoyevsky, Anton Chekhov, and Gustave Flaubert. Tolstoy died in 1910 aged 82, leaving behind an incredible literary legacy.
