1828 Born Couch Novelist Tolstoy
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the iconic Russian novelist Leo Tolstoy in the twilight of his life, deeply engrossed in reading on the very couch where he was born on August 28, 1828, in the Tula Province of Russia. The image, taken around the turn of the 20th century, presents Tolstoy as a venerable figure, with his white beard and furrowed brow, as he immerses himself in the written word. The simple yet elegant setting – a table nearby, adorned with a lamp and a stack of books – underscores the importance of literature in Tolstoy's life. Born into a noble family, Leo Tolstoy is renowned for his masterpieces, including "War and Peace" and "Anna Karenina," which have left an indelible mark on world literature. His works, characterized by their profound exploration of human emotions and motivations, continue to captivate readers and inspire generations. As Tolstoy grew older, his beliefs evolved, and he became known for his pacifist and spiritual teachings. His later years were marked by a deep commitment to nonviolence and social reform, which he expressed through his writing and activism. Despite his advanced age, Tolstoy remained a prolific writer, penning essays, stories, and letters until his death on November 7, 1910. This poignant photograph serves as a testament to Tolstoy's enduring love for literature and his unwavering dedication to his craft, even in the final chapter of his life.
