#tolstoy — Public Fediverse posts

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 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christian_anarchism).

Many of his works are here: https://standardebooks.org/ebooks?query=tolstoy&sort=default&view=grid&per-page=12 - free in both senses.

Happy Birthday Count Tolstoy!
