About this audiobook
León Tolstói
<p><b>Lev Nikoláievich Tolstoi</b> nació en 1828, en Yásnaia Poliana, en la región de Tula, de una familia aristócrata. En 1844 empezó Derecho y Lenguas Orientales en la universidad de Kazán, pero dejó los estudios y llevó una vida algo disipada en Moscú y San Petersburgo.</p><p> En 1851 se enroló con su hermano mayor en un regimiento de artillería en el Cáucaso. En 1852 publicó <i>Infancia</i>, el primero de los textos autobiográficos que, seguido de <i>Adolescencia</i> (1854) y <i>Juventud</i> (1857), le hicieron famoso, así como sus recuerdos de la guerra de Crimea, de corte realista y antibelicista, <i>Relatos de Sevastópol</i> (1855-1856). La fama, sin embargo, le disgustó y, después de un viaje por Europa en 1857, decidió instalarse en Yásnaia Poliana, donde fundó una escuela para hijos de campesinos. El éxito de su monumental novela <i>Guerra y paz</i> (1865-1869) y de <i>Anna Karénina</i> (1873-1878; ALBA CLÁSICA MAIOR, núm. XLVII, y ALBA MINUS, núm. 31), dos hitos de la literatura universal, no alivió una profunda crisis espiritual, de la que dio cuenta en <i>Mi confesión</i> (1878-1882), donde prácticamente abjuró del arte literario y propugnó un modo de vida basado en el Evangelio, la castidad, el trabajo manual y la renuncia a la violencia. A partir de entonces el grueso de su obra lo compondrían fábulas y cuentos de orientación popular, tratados morales y ensayos como <i>Qué es el arte</i> (1898) y algunas obras de teatro como <i>El poder de las tinieblas</i> (1886) y <i>El cadáver viviente</i> (1900); su única novela de esa época fue <i>Resurrección</i> (1899), escrita para recaudar fondos para la secta pacifista de los dujobori (guerreros del alma).</p><p> Una extensa colección de sus <i>Relatos</i> ha sido publicada en esta misma colección (ALBA CLÁSICA MAIOR, núm. XXXIII). En 1901 fue excomulgado por la Iglesia Ortodoxa. Murió en 1910, rumbo a un monasterio, en la estación de tren de Astápovo.</p>
