LEV NIKOLAYEVICH TOLSTOY (1828-1910) was a Russian writer and master of realistic fiction who is regarded as one of the greatest authors of all time.
Born to an aristocratic Russian family in 1828, he is best known for the novels WAR AND PEACE (1869) and ANNA KARENINA (1877), often cited as pinnacles of realist fiction. He first achieved literary acclaim in his twenties with his semi-autobiographical trilogy, CHILDHOOD, BOYHOOD, AND YOUTH (1852-1856), and SEVASTOPOL SKETCHES (1855), based upon his experiences in the Crimean War. Tolstoy's fiction includes dozens of short stories and several novellas such as "The Death of Ivan Ilyich", "Family Happiness", and "Hadji Murad". He also wrote plays and numerous philosophical essays.
In the 1870s Tolstoy experienced a profound moral crisis, followed by what he regarded as an equally profound spiritual awakening, as outlined in his autobiographical work A CONFESSION (1882). His literal interpretation of the ethical teachings of Jesus, centering on the Sermon on the Mount, caused him to become a fervent Christian anarchist and pacifist. In a series of pamphlets after 1880 he expressed theories such as rejection of the state and church, indictment of the demands of the flesh, and denunciation of private property. His ideas on nonviolent resistance, expressed in such works as THE KINGDOM OF GOD IS WITHIN YOU (1894), were to have a profound impact on such pivotal 20th-century figures as Gandhi and Martin Luther King. Tolstoy also became a dedicated advocate of Georgism, the economic philosophy of Henry George, which he incorporated into his writing, particularly his last novel RESURRECTION (1899).
His teachings earned him numerous followers in Russia and abroad, but also much opposition and in 1901 he was excommunicated by the Russian holy synod. He died in 1910, in the course of a dramatic flight from home, at the small railway station of Astapovo.
