  1. Today is the 198th birthday of Leo #Tolstoy - a giant in Russian literature

    Tolstoy was born an aristocrat but as well as writing works such as "War and Peace" & "Anna Karenina", he became an ardent Pacifist and one of the primary thinkers of #Christian #Anarchism (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christia).

    Many of his works are here: standardebooks.org/ebooks?quer - free in both senses.

    Happy Birthday Count Tolstoy!
