The Early Years Born on August 28, 1828 in Russia’s Tula Province, Yasnya Polyana. Fourth out of five children Family old Russian nobility Mother Countess Mariya Tolstaya Father Count Nikolai Ilyich Tolstoy Family moved to Moscow Father died shortly after

Later Years Became very religious The more religious and beloved he became by the country, the more his family disliked him Tolstoy became depressed 1910 he fled his home in search for peace Died while traveling at age 82

Works Most famous: War and Peace Anna Karenina The Death of Ivan Ilich Hadji Murad Childhood Boyhood Youth Wrote over ten novels, twenty short stories, seven plays, four essays, and five non-fiction pieces Works give a depiction of his own life

Inspirations Jean-Jacques Rousseau Emile, The Confessions Many writers influenced him Death War Wife Yasnya Polyana Faith

Religion Wrestled with spirituality as a child Originally Russian Orthodox Criticized church and was excommunicated Founded Tolstoyism

Tolstoyism Met Vladimir Chertkov Focused on Jesus’ teachings and was especially inspired by the Sermon on the Mount Live simply Abstain from tobacco, alcohol Practice chastity and vegetarianism Live by the principles of love, truth, and peace. Rejected violence and government Lived by 5 rules Love enemies Do not be angry Do not fight evil with evil Do not lust Do not take oaths

Tolstoy and C+P Both were incredibly significant in Russian literature history Both lived in Russia at same time period Never met but still influenced each other Tolstoy’s War and Peace inspired Dostoevsky to write Brothers Karamazov Both influenced by Russian wars, poverty, and government

Influenced by Tolstoy Christian theories inspired many people for years Ghandi Believed violence was morally wrong Wrote many letters to each other and became friends Through Ghandi Tolstoy inspired many more

Quotes Happy families are all alike; every unhappy family is unhappy in its own way All, everything that I understand, I understand only because I love. Art is not a handicraft, it is the transmission of feeling the artist has experienced. Everyone thinks of changing the world, but no one thinks of changing himself. Government is an association of men who do violence to the rest of us. In the name of God, stop a moment, cease your work, look around you. Faith is the sense of life, that sense by virtue of which man does not destroy himself, but continues to live on. It is the force whereby we live.

Tolstoy Today Still influences writers, painters, and philosophers http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aw72eJi_lgs
