War and Peace Full TV-series
Lev Tolstoy usually referred to in English as Leo Tolstoy, was a Russian writer. He is regarded as one of the greatest and most influential authors of all time.
He received nominations for the Nobel Prize in Literature every year from 1902 to 1906 and for the Nobel Peace Prize in 1901, 1902, and 1909. Tolstoy never having won a Nobel Prize was a major Nobel Prize controversy, and remains one.
Born into an aristocratic family, Tolstoy first achieved literary acclaim in his twenties.

Tolstoy’s notable works include the novels War and Peace (1869) and Anna Karenina (1878), often cited as pinnacles of realist fiction, as well as two of the greatest books of all time. His fiction includes dozens of short stories such as “After the Ball” (1911), and several novellas such as The Death of Ivan Ilyich (1886), Family Happiness (1859) and Hadji Murad (1912). He also wrote plays and essays concerning philosophical, moral and religious themes.
Tolstoy received praise from countless authors and critics, both during his lifetime and after. Virginia Woolf called Tolstoy “the greatest of all novelists”, and Gary Saul Morson referred to War and Peace as the greatest of all novels
