About the author
Leo Tolstoy
7,963 books28.5k followersLev Nikolayevich Tolstoy (Russian: Лев Николаевич Толстой; most appropriately used Liev Tolstoy; commonly Leo Tolstoy in Anglophone countries) was a Russian writer who primarily wrote novels and short stories. Later in life, he also wrote plays and essays. His two most famous works, the novels War and Peace and Anna Karenina, are acknowledged as two of the greatest novels of all time and a pinnacle of realist fiction. Many consider Tolstoy to have been one of the world's greatest novelists. Tolstoy is equally known for his complicated and paradoxical persona and for his extreme moralistic and ascetic views, which he adopted after a moral crisis and spiritual awakening in the 1870s, after which he also became noted as a moral thinker and social reformer.
His literal interpretation of the ethical teachings of Jesus, centering on the Sermon on the Mount, caused him in later life to become a fervent Christian anarchist and anarcho-pacifist. His ideas on nonviolent resistance, expressed in such works as The Kingdom of God Is Within You, were to have a profound impact on such pivotal twentieth-century figures as Mohandas Gandhi and Martin Luther King, Jr.

"Toutes les familles heureuses se ressemblent les malheureuses le font chacune à leur façon."
Quel plaisir de voyager par dans une époque, dans un autre lieu. J'a adoré les regards croisés dans ce livre entre l'intrigue principal mais aussi la morale sous-jacente, de s'interroger sur la politique, les religions, la vie, la mort, les liens familiaux...Même si certains propos sont conservateurs ou paradoxaux, il est très important de s'enquérir de cette excellente plume qui a frappé les esprits. Mais aussi de regarder les sujets à la lumière d'aujourd'hui, certains ne changent même pas.
Tolstoï à cette capacité de rentrer dans ton esprit, d'osciller entre la simplicité et les réflexions les plus profondes.
