Lev 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.
Uno de mis consentidos a través del tiempo y en el que siempre encuentro algo interesante y único. No solo es la historia trágica del amor de una mujer casada hacia su amante sino un retrato excelente de la época zarista, del rol inferior de la mujer, de los convencionalismos sociales
La narrativa me encanta ana karenina como punto medio entre lo correcto y lo corecto en una sociedad rusa donde la mujer no tiene un valor social cuando pierde su estatus de esposa .
Me ha encantado, Tolstoi tiene una capacidad inmensa para transmitir la profundidad psicológica de cada uno de los personajes. En concreto de Ana Karenina puedo decir que la he odiado y amado a partes iguales, es un personaje maravilloso que vive en la dualidad y te crea confusión. Ana Karenina es una novela inmensa, y no solo por sus casi 700 páginas sino por su realismo y lucidez. UN drama romántico en toda su esencia
