Mengenai Pengarang
Count Lev Nikolayevich Tolstoy, known as Leo Tolstoy (1828-1910), was a Russian author who is considered one of the greatest novelists of all time. Born to an aristocratic Russian family, he is best known for his monumental novels ‘War and Peace’ (1869) and ‘Anna Karenina’ (1877), which delve into the complexities of human society and the depths of the human condition. Tolstoy’s literary style combines realistic narrative with philosophical musings, exploring themes such as morality, pacifism, and the search for meaning in life. Beyond his epic novels, Tolstoy also engaged with the dramatic genre, culminating in ‘The Complete Plays of Leo Tolstoy, ‘ which showcases his lesser-known work as a playwright. His plays extend the same introspection and ethical rigor found in his novels, exploring social justice, personal integrity, and the pitfalls of society. They often reflect his advocacy for nonviolent resistance, Christian anarchism, and social reform, which have influenced figures like Mahatma Gandhi and Martin Luther King Jr. His works have left an indelible mark on the fields of literature and philosophy, and his influence extends far beyond the borders of his Russian homeland.
