About the author

Tolstoy was a champion of nonviolent protest. When he was two years of age his mother died, and when nine his father died. Tolstoy had a definitive set of ideas in regards to religion and philosophy. "Tolstoy condemned capitalism, private property, and the division of labour. Civilization in general he regarded as bad, emphasizing the need to make life as simple and primitive as possible." (Benet`s.) His ideas led him into problems with his family, he was estranged from his family during the last of his life. Two of Tolstoy`s most popular works are War & Peace and Anna Karenina.
