Leo Tolstoy's Biography

Leo Tolstoy, or Count Lev Nikolayevich Tolstoy (Russian: Лев Никола́евич Толсто́й​ (help·info), Russian pronunciation: [lʲɛv nʲɪkɐˈlaɪvʲɪtɕ tɐlˈstoj]; September 9 [O.S. August 28] 1828 – November 20 [O.S. November 7] 1910), was a Russian writer widely regarded as among the greatest of novelists. His masterpieces War and Peace and Anna Karenina represent in their scope, breadth and vivid depiction of 19th-century Russian life and attitudes, the peak of realist fiction.[citation needed]. But realism is not the peculiar artistic feature in which Tolstoy excels, as other writers deepened his descriptions and were equally good at vivid description; rather, it is Tolstoy's gifted method of picturing life which most pleasingly and exactly corresponds to our sense of time.
