Leo Tolstoy is widely regarded as one of the greatest authors of all time, with notable works such as “War and Peace” and “Anna Karenina” acclaimed for their realist fiction. Achieving literary acclaim in his twenties, Tolstoy also wrote short stories, novellas, plays, and essays on philosophical, moral, and religious themes. His profound moral crisis led to a spiritual awakening, influencing his later Christian anarchist and pacifist beliefs. Tolstoy’s ideas on nonviolent resistance had a significant impact on key 20th-century figures like Gandhi and Martin Luther King Jr.
