(俄)托尔斯泰

About the Author

Lev Tolstoy, the renowned Russian author whose works have profoundly shaped world literature, was born in 1828 on his family's estate in Tula Province. Orphaned at a young age, he pursued a military career before dedicating himself to writing, drawing from his experiences in the Crimean War and his deep philosophical inquiries into faith, morality, and human existence. His masterpiece, War and Peace (经典世界名著) (Chinese Edition), chronicles the Napoleonic invasion of Russia through the lives of aristocratic families, blending historical narrative with intimate character studies to explore themes of destiny, love, and the futility of war. Tolstoy's later works, including Anna Karenina, reflect his evolving views on social reform and spiritual awakening, influencing generations of readers and thinkers worldwide with their unflinching realism and ethical depth.
