About this audiobook

Leo Tolstoy, the Russian literary giant, redefined the art of storytelling with his profound explorations of human nature, morality, and spirituality. Born in 1828 on his family estate in Yasnaya Polyana, Tolstoy’s life was as complex and compelling as his novels. This biography examines his early years, his experiences in war, and his evolution into a philosophical thinker and moralist. Tolstoy’s masterpieces, War and Peace and Anna Karenina, remain unparalleled in their depth and scope. Beyond his literary achievements, his later works on religion, nonviolence, and social reform influenced figures like Gandhi and Martin Luther King Jr. This book provides an intimate look at Tolstoy’s personal struggles, his family life, and his quest for spiritual meaning, capturing the essence of a man who shaped literature and thought for generations.
