Leo Tolstoy, the 19th century Russian novelist who wrote—among others—the books War and Peace and Anna Karenina, is generally considered one of the greatest novelists of all time. Born Count Lev Nikolayevich Tolstoy in Tula, Russia, Leo Tolstoy first came to literary attention with the publication of a trilogy of autobiographical books (Childhood, Boyhood and Youth) while he was still in his twenties.
