Leo Tolstoj

Född 1828

Skönlitteratur Filosofi

Lev Nikolayevich Tolstoy was a renowned Russian novelist, best known for "War and Peace" and "Anna Karenina." His works are celebrated for their realism and psychological insight.
After a spiritual crisis in the 1870s, Tolstoy embraced radical Christian anarchist and pacifist views, influencing figures like Gandhi and Martin Luther King Jr. He became a moral philosopher and social reformer, advocating for nonviolent resistance and a literal interpretation of Jesus' teachings.
Tolstoy's complex personality and extreme moral views often conflicted with his earlier lifestyle, making him a controversial figure in his later years.

Highly recommended!! Fantastic service. Perfect for those that want a little more than a teaser but not all the intricate details of a full audio book.
