Russian author (1828–1910)
1828 – 1910 ·
Lev Nikolayevich Tolstoy [1], known in English as Leo Tolstoy, was a Russian writer born on 9 September 1828 and died on 20 November 1910 [2]. A member of the noble House of Tolstoy [11], he occasionally published under the abbreviated pseudonyms Л. Н. Т. and Л. Н. [7]. He is widely regarded as one of the greatest and most influential authors of all time [2].
Tolstoy's religious outlook drew from Eastern Orthodoxy and Christianity more broadly, and he became the central figure of the Tolstoyan movement, a moral and spiritual philosophy that bore his name [12]. His body of work is extensive, as documented in the Leo Tolstoy bibliography [10], and the scholarly field devoted to examining his life and writings is known as Tolstoy studies [6].
