Leo Tolstoy“Truth, like gold, is to be obtained not by its growth, but by washing away from it all that is not gold.Leo Tolstoy, a renowned Russian novelist and philosophical writer, is widely revered to this day for his minute attention to detail, bringing his works to life. Born into an aristocratic Russian family, he enjoyed a mostly leisurely life till his military service till 1856. Scarred by the Crimean War, his search for the meaning of life began as he toured across Europe and corresponded with Mahatma Gandhi. His works demonstrate the evolution of his perception of realism across decades, developing from non-violence to an anarcho-pacifist, Christian ideology.This box set includes:The Death of Ivan IlyichAnna KareninaWar and Peace (Volumes I and II)Resurrection
