Русский писатель Лев Николаевич Толстой(1828-1910) – автор известных произведений “Война и мир”, “Анна Каренина”, “Смерть Ивана Ильича”, и в наши дни продолжает считаться одним из лучших писателей мира.

Лев Толстой родился 9 сентября 1828 года в Тульской губернии (Россия) в семье, принадлежащей классу дворян. В годы своего юнкерства в армии у Толстого было немало свободного времени. В спокойные периоды он работал над автобиографической историей под названием «Детство». В ней он писал о своих самых любимых детских воспоминаниях. В 1852 году Толстой отправил рассказ в “Современник”, самый популярный журнал того времени. Рассказ был с радостью принят, и он стал первой публикацией Толстого. С этого времени критики ставили его в один ряд с уже известными писателями, среди которых присутствовали Иван Тургенев(с которым Толстой подружился), Иван Гончаров, Александр Островский и другие.

В 1860-х годах он написал свой первый большой роман – “Война и мир”. В 1873 году Толстой приступил к работе над второй из наиболее известных его книг, “Анна Каренина”. Он продолжал писать беллетристику на протяжении 1880-х и 1890-х годов. Одна из его самых успешных поздних работ – “Смерть Ивана Ильича”. Толстой умер 20 ноября 1910 г. в Астапово, Россия.
