Answer 2

One of the most prominent Russian writers of all time is Leo Tolstoy. Born in 1828 into an aristocratic family, Tolstoy is best known for his epic novels, including War and Peace and Anna Karenina.

Tolstoy began his literary career in the 1850s, publishing his first work, Childhood, in 1852. However, it wasn't until the publication of War and Peace in 1869 that Tolstoy gained international recognition. The novel, which chronicles the lives of several aristocratic families during the Napoleonic Wars, is widely regarded as a masterpiece of world literature.

In the years following War and Peace, Tolstoy continued to write prolifically. In 1873, he published Anna Karenina, a novel that explores the moral struggles of an upper-class woman who falls in love with a dashing officer. Like War and Peace, Anna Karenina is considered one of the greatest novels ever written.

Tolstoy's later years were marked by a spiritual awakening and a turn towards pacifism and simple living. He became a devout Christian and renounced his earlier works as morally bankrupt. Despite this, his literary legacy continued to inspire generations of writers and readers alike.

In addition to his novels, Tolstoy was also a prolific essayist and philosopher. His ideas on nonviolent resistance and passive resistance influenced the likes of Mahatma Gandhi and Martin Luther King Jr.

Today, Leo Tolstoy is remembered as one of the greatest writers in the history of Russian literature and a towering figure in world literature as a whole.
