It depicts the events surrounding the French invasion of Russia and covers a vast array of characters and themes. Anna Karenina (1877): Another masterpiece, this novel explores themes of love, morality, and societal norms through the tragic story of Anna Karenina.
Philosophical and Religious Thought: In the later part of his life, Tolstoy underwent a profound spiritual and philosophical transformation. He developed his own interpretation of Christianity, emphasizing love, nonviolence, and the rejection of worldly possessions. His philosophical works include "The Kingdom of God Is Within You" (1894), where he expounds on his ideas of non-resistance to evil and Christian anarchism.
Educational Reforms: Tolstoy was deeply involved in educational experiments at Yasnaya Polyana, where he established a school based on his principles of education. He emphasized a more holistic and natural approach to learning.
Social Criticism: Tolstoy was critical of the social and economic inequalities of his time. His later works, like "Resurrection" (1899), reflected his concerns about social justice and the mistreatment of the poor.
Family Life: Tolstoy's personal life was marked by a tumultuous relationship with his wife, Sophia, with whom he had 13 children. Despite the challenges in their marriage, they remained together until Tolstoy's death.
Legacy: Tolstoy's influence extends beyond literature. His ideas on nonviolence and simple living inspired figures like Mahatma Gandhi. He left a lasting impact on both Russian and world literature, influencing subsequent generations of writers.
Death: Leo Tolstoy died in 1910 at the railway station in Astapovo, a small town near Yasnaya Polyana. His death marked the end of a remarkable literary and philosophical career.
