 Leo Tolstoy was born on September 9, 1828 in the Tula province (Russia) in a family belonging to the class of nobles.  In the 1860s, he wrote his first big novel, War and Peace.  In 1873 Tolstoy began work on the second of his most famous books, Anna Karenina.  He continued to write fiction throughout the 1880s and 1890s.  One of his most successful late works is The Death of Ivan Ilyich.  Tolstoy died on November 20, 1910 in Astapovo, Russian

September 9, 1828, the future writer Leo Tolstoy was born in Yasnaya Polyana (Tula Province, Russia).  He was the fourth child in a large noble family.  In 1830, when Tolstoy's mother, nee Princess Volkonskaya, died, her father's cousin took care of the children.  Their father, Count Nikolai Tolstoy, died seven years later, and their aunt was appointed guardian.  After the death of Aunt Leo Tolstoy, his brothers and sisters moved to Kazan for the second aunt.  Although Tolstoy experienced many losses at an early age, he later idealized his childhood memories in his work.
