Om denne e-bog
The Complete Novels of Leo Tolstoy captures the profound existential and moral inquiries that define Russian literature in the 19th century. This anthology showcases Tolstoy's mastery of narrative form, weaving intricate plots with deep psychological insight, particularly in masterpieces such as "War and Peace" and "Anna Karenina." Boldly exploring themes of love, faith, and the search for meaning, Tolstoy's prose strikes a balance between stark realism and philosophical reflection, inviting readers to engage with the moral quandaries faced by his richly developed characters. The inclusion of lesser-known works further enriches this compendium, providing a comprehensive view of Tolstoy's literary evolution and sociopolitical commentary during a tumultuous era in Russia's history. Leo Tolstoy, a seminal figure in world literature, drew from his own experiences as a landowner, soldier, and social reformer to craft narratives that are both personal and universal. His deep engagement with questions of morality, spirituality, and the human condition led him to renounce social privileges in search of a more meaningful existence. This personal transformation is intricately mirrored in the journeys of his characters, reflecting his quest for authenticity amidst the complexities of life. For readers seeking to understand not only the literary genius of Tolstoy but also the enduring questions of human existence, The Complete Novels serves as an essential collection. This volume not only captures the breadth of his work but also invites reflection on the moral implications of our own lives, making it a must-read for lovers of literature and philosophy alike.
Om forfatteren
Count Lev Nikolayevich Tolstoy, known in English as Leo Tolstoy, was born on September 9, 1828, at Yasnaya Polyana, his family's estate in the Tula Province of Russia. Tolstoy's literary career spans a period of more than half a century, and he is universally acclaimed as one of the titans of Russian literature. His masterpieces, 'War and Peace' (1869) and 'Anna Karenina' (1877), epitomize the novel form with their intricate character development and a profound penetration into the complexities of human society and the human soul. A member of the Russian nobility, Tolstoy underwent a profound moral and spiritual crisis in the 1870s, which led him to renounce his aristocratic lifestyle and seek a more ascetic way of life based on the principles of Christian pacifism and spiritual and social reform. In addition to his novels, Tolstoy's bibliography includes short stories, essays, and plays. 'The Death of Ivan Ilyich' (1886) is among his most celebrated shorter works, noted for its profound introspection. As a stylist, Tolstoy is known for his realistic portrayal of Russian life, his careful craftsmanship, and his moral concern for sincerity, nonviolence, and personal integrity. His posthumously published 'The Complete Novels of Leo Tolstoy' offer a comprehensive collection of his significant works. Tolstoy's ideas on nonviolent resistance influenced figures like Mahatma Gandhi and Martin Luther King Jr. He passed away on November 20, 1910, and remains a monumental figure in world literature.
