Born in central Russia in 1828, Tolstoy saw action as a soldier before becoming a writer. His two novels,War and PeaceandAnnaKarenina, are among the best loved in world literature. Anthony Briggs compares these works and describes many others. He also considers why such a strong character as Tolstoy welcomed into his life two appalling individuals whose malign influence changed him and his literary career forever.
