Lev Nikolaevich Tolstoy

Born in 1828 to an aristocratic family, Tolstoy's literary career spanned several decades, during which he explored themes of morality, spirituality, and the human condition. His works often reflect a deep philosophical inquiry into the nature of life and society, leading him to adopt a form of Christian anarchism in his later years.

His ideas have had a lasting impact on literature and social thought, inspiring movements such as Tolstoyism and influencing figures like Mahatma Gandhi.
