Leo Tolstoy's voice recordit 1908

Born tae an aristocratic Roushie faimily in 1828, he is best kent for the novelles War an Peace (1869) an Anna Karenina (1877), eften citit as pinnacles o realist feection. He first achieved leeterar acclaim in his twenties wi his semi-autobiografical trilogy, Bairnheid, Ladheid, an Youth (1852–1856), an Sevastopol Sketches (1855), based upon his experiences in the Crimean War. Tolstoy's feection includes dizens o short stories an several novellas sic as The Daith o Ivan Ilyich (1886), Family Happiness (1859), and Hadji Murad (1912). He an aw wrote plays an numerous filosofical essays.

In the 1870s Tolstoy experienced a profoond moral creesis, follaed bi whit he regairdit as an equally profoond speeritual awaukenin, as ootlined in his non-feection wark A Confession (1882). His leeteral interpretation o the ethical teachins o Jesus, centrein on the Sermon on the Munt, caused him tae acome a fervent Christian anarchist an pacifist. Tolstoy's ideas on nonveeolent reseestance, expressed in sic warks as The Kinrick o God Is Within Ye (1894), war tae hae a profoond impact on sic pivotal 20t-century feegurs as Mahatma Gandhi an Martin Luther King Jr. Tolstoy an aw becam a dedicatit advocate o Georgism, the economic filosofie o Henry George, that he incorporatit intae his writin, pairteecularly Resurrection (1899).
