Lev Nikolayevich Tolstoy (Russian: Лев Никола́евич Толсто́й, pronounced [lʲev nʲɪkɐˈlaɪvʲɪtɕ tɐlˈstoj] ( listen); known in the West as Leo Tolstoy) (September 9,
1828 – November 20, 1910) was a Russian writer who primarily wrote novels and short stories. Later in
life, he also wrote plays and essays. His two most famous works, the novels War and Peace and Anna Karenina, are
acknowledged as two of the greatest novels of all time and a pinnacle of realist fiction. Many
consider Tolstoy to have been one of the world's greatest novelists.[2][3] Tolstoy
is equally known for his complicated and paradoxical persona and for his
extreme moralistic and ascetic views, which he adopted after a moral crisis and
spiritual awakening in the 1870s, after which he also became noted as a moral thinker and social reformer.
