About the author
Leo Tolstoy (1828–1910) is revered as one of the towering giants of world literature, celebrated for his monumental portraits of Russian society and the human soul in War and Peace and Anna Karenina. In his later years, Tolstoy channeled a fiery moral philosophy and deep spiritual crisis into provocative, psychologically relentless novellas like The Death of Ivan Ilyich and The Kreutzer Sonata, laying bare the hypocrisies of bourgeois marriage, faith, and desire.
Called “a master in his field” by The New York Times and “in a class by himself” by Oprah Daily, Edoardo Ballerini is an award-winning and celebrated narrator of audiobooks.
