Leo Tolstoy

Leo Tolstoy is one of the most influential writers in the history of Russian literature. Public information is limited: basic details such as his dates of birth and death and his nationality are not recorded in our database, yet the themes and style of his works still convey the character of his writing. Our collection includes eighteen of his works, with War and Peace and Resurrection as representative titles; the former is presented in several volumes and also appears in English editions. His writing is known for interweaving grand historical scenes with individual destinies, depicting characters across the broad canvas of war, family, and moral and ethical questions in a steady, reflective narrative style, while Resurrection focuses more on the conflict between personal conscience and social reality. His works are commonly found in categories such as foreign literature and war and military fiction, and are still widely read today.
