Leo Tolstoy was one of the greatest writers in literary history, renowned for his deep philosophical insights and masterful storytelling. Born into Russian nobility, he rejected a life of privilege in pursuit of truth, morality, and spiritual enlightenment. His works, whether epic novels or short stories, reflect his evolving beliefs on faith, nonviolence and the human condition.
Tolstoy’s masterpieces, War and Peace and Anna Karenina, redefined the novel with their intricate character portrayals and sweeping historical narratives. However, his short stories, such as What Men Live By and The Three Hermits, reveal his gift for simplicity and profound moral questioning. His later years saw a transformation toward religious and philosophical writings, emphasising pacifism and ethical living.

His works continue to resonate, offering timeless reflections on love, faith and the complexities of human existence.
