are acknowledged as two of the greatest novels of all time and a
pinnacle of realist fiction. Many consider Tolstoy to have been one of
the world's greatest novelists. Tolstoy is equally known for his
complicated and paradoxical persona and for his extreme moralistic and

His literal interpretation of the
ethical teachings of Jesus, centering on the Sermon on the Mount, caused
him in later life to become a fervent Christian anarchist and
anarcho-pacifist. His ideas on nonviolent resistance, expressed in such
works as The Kingdom of God Is Within You, were to have a profound impact on such pivotal twentieth-century figures as Mohandas Gandhi and Martin Luther King,
