LEO TOLSTOY

Leo Tolstoy (1828-1910), the author of War and Peace and Anna Karenina, was a legend in his own lifetime: The wise man in a smock frock preached of the virtues of a simple life with few possessions and became a true legend. With the aid of many previously unknown sources of information, this book shines a new light on the man and author who was Tolstoy.
