3. Tolstoy is considered one of the giants of Russian literature;
his works include the novels War and Peace and Anna
Karenina and novellas such as Hadji Murad and The Death of
Ivan Ilyich.
Tolstoy's earliest works, the autobiographical
novels Childhood, Boyhood, and Youth (1852–1856), tell of a
rich landowner's son and his slow realization of the chasm
between himself and his peasants. Though he later rejected
them as sentimental, a great deal of Tolstoy's own life is
revealed. They retain their relevance as accounts of the
universal story of growing up.

6. Tolstoy Farm was the first ashram initiated and
organized by Mohandas Gandhi during his South
African movement. Created in 1910, the ashram
served as the headquarters of the campaign
of satyagraha against discrimination against Indians in
Transvaal, where it was located . The ashram was
named after Russian writer and philosopher Leo
Tolstoy, whose 1894 book, The Kingdom of God Is
Within You, greatly influenced Gandhi's science
of nonviolence.
Herman Kallenbach, a Gandhi supporter, allowed Gandhi
and seventy to eighty other people to live there as
long as their local movement was in effect.
Kallenback suggested the name for the community,
which soon constructed three new buildings to serve
as living quarters, workshops, and a school.

fact that he never won is a major Nobel prize
controversy.
