Arguably the greatest writer of all time. #LeoTolstoy wrote the elegant story of love, war, Russian intelligentsia, romance, tragedy, struggle, spiritualism and happiness that cover (almost) all classes (including Asian and Muslim minority) in Russian society during the whole 19th century. The literature world is currently celebrating his 192nd birthday. His pacificist, Christian anarchist teaching is what resonates to us the most today.
"The sole meaning of life is to serve humanity" he once said. In this video there are clips from :
1. War And Peace (BBC TV series 2016 production)
2. Anna Karenina : Vronsky's Story (2017 Russian mini series)
3. The Road to Calvary (written by his great grandson, Alexei Tolstoy. 2017 Russian Netflix TV series)
