Their life

Leo Tolstoy (1828–1910) was a Russian writer from a noble family, known in English as Leo Tolstoy. He is widely regarded as one of the greatest and most influential authors of all time. He first won acclaim in his twenties with the semi-autobiographical trilogy *Childhood, Boyhood and Youth* (1852–1856) and with *Sevastopol Sketches* (1855), which drew on his service in the Crimean War.

His major novels, *War and Peace* (1869), *Anna Karenina* (1878), and *Resurrection* (1899), are often considered among the greatest novels ever written and are cited as high points of realist fiction. He also wrote short stories, novellas, plays, and essays on philosophical, moral, and religious subjects.
