Lev Tolstoy

Enter the world of Count Lev Nikolayevich Tolstoy, more commonly known as Leo Tolstoy, a Russian literary giant celebrated as one of the most significant writers in the annals of literary history. His name resonates with the echoes of timeless classics, most notably “War and Peace” (1865-1869) and “Anna Karenina” (1875-1877), works often hailed as among the finest novels ever penned.

“War and Peace,” in particular, stands as a cornerstone in the literary world, defining this genre for countless readers and critics alike. What sets Tolstoy apart is his profound commitment to introspection and self-discovery. In 1847, he embarked on a journaling journey that served as his laboratory for self-study experiments and, subsequently, as the fertile ground from which his fiction would sprout.
