Leo Tolstoy  (1828-1910) was a Russian writer, widely recognized as one of the greatest novelists of all time. Born into an aristocratic family in Tula, Russia, Tolstoy is known for his epic works that explore themes such as war, morality, human nature, and spiritual redemption. His novels, particularly War and Peace (1869) and Anna Karenina (1877), are considered masterpieces of world literature, offering deep psychological insight and a panoramic view of Russian society. Tolstoy's literary career began with Childhood (1852), the first in a trilogy of autobiographical novels. His experiences in war inspired Sevastopol Sketches (1855), a realistic depiction of battle and human suffering. However, his greatest contributions to literature came with War and Peace and Anna Karenina. Tolstoy's influence extends far beyond literature. His philosophical and religious writings challenged institutional authority and inspired social movements. His works continue to be studied and admired for their exploration of human emotions, ethical dilemmas, and historical events. Tolstoy's narrative style, characterized by psychological realism and intricate character development, set a new standard in literature. His ability to depict the inner struggles of his characters, combined with his vast historical scope, established him as a literary giant.
