About the Author

Leo Tolstoy

Russian novelist and philosopher (1828 to 1910). Lev Nikolayevich Tolstoy was a writer, thinker, and social reformer. He is regarded as one of the greatest novelists in the history of world literature, and his narrative epics remain peaks of human creativity. His literary works explored the human soul amidst the social, political, and spiritual contradictions of 19th-century Russia.
He engaged deeply with themes of faith, justice, and the arduous search for God. His most acclaimed novels include War and Peace (1869), Anna Karenina (1877), and Resurrection (1899). His 1894 philosophical work, The Kingdom of God Is Within You, acted as a profound awakening of conscience and founded the concept of non-violent resistance.
