    About this ebook

    The Slavery of Our Times is a socially critical pamphlet written by Tolstoy in 1900. In this work, Tolstoy describes the miserable situation of the laborers in the plants of Russia. He writes that people work for thirty-six hours in succession and suffer from the tyranny exerted by their masters. In the pamphlet, Tolstoy demands the conditions of a decent life be created for those people.

    Leo Tolstoi

    Leo Tolstoy was born in 1828 in Tula, near Moscow. His parents, who both died when he was young, belonged to the Russian nobility, and to the end of his life Tolstoy remained conscious of his aristocratic status. His novels, ‘War and Peace’ and ‘Anna Karenina’ are literary classics and he is revered as one of the greatest writers of the nineteenth century. He died in 1910 at the age of 82.
