About the author

Leo Tolstoy

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.

Podoba mi się jak na razie, chociaż czasem dziadek Tołstoj przynudza trochę. Filozofa i motywacje postaci są wplecione w ogół historii a nie debatowane i rozwijane stale on page jak u Dostojewskiego, także prościej się czyta.

Also, cokolwiek dzieje się w głowie Mikołaja Rostowa na temat cara Aleksandra I? 1) dobrze że zostawia te nieboskie myśli dla siebie😭😭 2) im super into it

I wasn't expeticng it will feel like watching TV series, the kind that sometimes you watch few episodes in a row then don't come back for a few weeks. Overall, good read, but I'm looking forward to moving from Introduction to the storyline.

sceny wojenne nie dla mnie i przez to strasznie długo czytałam tę książkę ale wątek rodziny i tej ogólnej arystokracji świetny
