About the Author

Count Lev Nikolayevich Tolstoy was born on September 9, 1828 in Russia. He is usually referred to as Leo Tolstoy. He was a Russian author who is regarded as one of the greatest authors of all time. Leo Tolstoy is best known for his novels War and Peace (1869) and Anna Karenina (1877). Tolstoy's show more 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. Tolstoy had a profound moral crisis and spiritual awakening in the 1870's which he outlined in his work, A Confession. 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. His ideas of nonviolent resistance which he shared in his works The Kingdom of God is Within You, had a profund impact on figures such as Mohandas Gandhi and Martin Luther King, Jr. On September 23, 1862 Tolstoy married Sophia Andreevna Behrs. She was the daughter of a court physician. They had 13 children, eight of whom survived childhood. Their early married life allowed Tolstoy much freedom to compose War and Peace and Anna Karenina with his wife acting as his secretary and proofreader. The Tolstoy family left Russia in the aftermath of the Russian Revolution and the subsequent establishment of the Soviet Union. Leo Tolstoy's relatives and descendants moved to Sweden, Germany, the United Kingdom, France and the United States. Tolstoy died of pneumonia at Astapovo train station, after a day's rail journey south on November 20, 1910 at the age of 82. (Bowker Author Biography) Count Leo Tolstoy was born in 1828 on the family estate of Yasnaya Polyana in the Tula province. He married in 1862 & was the father of 13 children. Tolstoy managed the estate of Yasnaya Polyana & ran its peasant schools, while writing his great novels, "War & Peace" (1869) & "Anna Karenina" (1877). He died in 1910.

Short biography
Count Lev Nikolayevich Tolstoy (9 September 1828 – 20 November 1910), usually referred to in English as Leo Tolstoy, was a Russian writer who is regarded as one of the greatest authors of all time. He received multiple nominations for the Nobel Prize in Literature every year from 1902 to 1906 and nominations for Nobel Peace Prize in 1901, 1902 and 1910 and the fact that he never won is a major Nobel prize controversy.

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 (1886), Family Happiness (1859), and Hadji Murad (1912). 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 non-fiction 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. Tolstoy's ideas on nonviolent resistance, expressed in such works as The Kingdom of God Is Within You (1894), had a profound impact on such pivotal 20th-century figures as Mahatma Gandhi and Martin Luther King Jr. Tolstoy also became a dedicated advocate of Georgism, the economic philosophy of Henry George, which he incorporated into his writing, particularly Resurrection (1899).

Reviews

Great book. Well structured and informative but tragic in the end. It’s unfulfilled with loose ends that could never be tied but that’s the reality of death.

This book was completely all-encompassing. If you think it’s just a period romance, you're missing out. There were sections where the discussions on agriculture and local politics dragged a bit (I had to look up a lot of footnotes), but overall, this book is a work of art. It explores every possible way someone can love, be loved, get hurt, and grieve, detailing the parts of love, pain, and personal growth. There’s everything from courtship and enduring marriage to motherhood, family bonds, betrayal, jealousy, and death. The characters’ inner struggles with mental health and spirituality make the story even more powerful. It’s not just about personal relationships – the book also tackles big themes like existentialism, socialism, democracy, paternalistic government, education reform, and wealth inequality. Reading this wasn’t easy, it demanded full engagement. There were times I wanted to keep reading, but my eyes couldn't keep up, the effort was worth it. This book makes you feel every emotion and really pulls you in. It's a classic for a reason, and I understand why it has such a revered place in literary history. I highly recommend it if you’re looking for THAT book.… (more)

Lev Tolstoi është një nga shkrimtarët e mëdhenj të njerëzimit. Përshkrimi i goditur i ngjarjeve të shekullit të 19të, përsiatja e botës së brendshme të personazheve, gjuha e larmishme dhe e ëmbël, fama e tij si fisnik i pasur dhe altruist, por edhe misioni pedagogjik i gjithë shkrimeve të tij kanë bërë që Tolstoi të ketë reputacion dhe influencë të pamasë te brezat e shkrimtarëve. Përveç krijimtarisë së tij artistike, Tolstoi është përpjekur, po ashtu, që të ishte produktiv edhe në fushat e eseistikës dhe filozofisë. Një nga librat e tij filozofikë është vepra Shto Takoje Iskustvo?, që në shqip përkthehet: Çfarë është arti?

Thuhet që kjo vepër Tolstoit i mori pesëmbëdhjetë vjet hulumtim dhe u shkrua në një kohë kur Tolstoi kishte hequr dorë nga proza dhe drama, duke arritur në përfundimin se romani i tij Ana Karenina nuk mund të ishte art. Fatkeqësisht për Tolstoin, në versionin e tij filozofik, Çfarë është arti? pak gjëra arrin në filozofinë e artit: filozofët që ai përmend në libër nuk interpretohen korrektësisht, pothuajse çdo kapitull i librit përmend të njëjtin konkluzion që detyra e artit është bashkimi i njerëzve, veprat e Richard Wagner dhe Henrik Ibsen paraqiten si plehra, shtjellimi i formave dhe elementeve të artit ose mungon ose është i dobët, i gjithë përkufizimi autorial i estetikës duket se lidhet me besimin e Tolstoit që arti (ose, më saktë, vetëm mesazhi i veprave) duhet të bashkojë njerëzit –njëlloj siç i bashkon Krishterimi.
