Count Lev Nikolayevich Tolstoy, more commonly known as Leo Tolstoy, was a towering figure in the field of world literature, renowned for his complex characters and intricate plots that delve into the human condition. Born on September 9, 1828, in the Tula Province of Russia, Tolstoy hailed from an aristocratic family. His contributions to literature span across numerous genres, but he is particularly celebrated for his novels, which include the seminal works 'War and Peace' (1869) and 'Anna Karenina' (1877), where he displayed a profound understanding of the intricacies of society and the human psyche.
