Léon Tolstoï — le génie de la littérature russe (Podcast RussianDose — pour les personnes qui apprennent le russe)

Today we're going to talk about the man who is called Russia's main writer. About the man who wrote huge novels, but at the same time walked through the fields in simple peasant clothes. About the count who gave up wealth and became a vegetarian.

We will tell you about Leo Tolstoy — the author of "War and Peace" and "Anna Karenina." About his life, his strange actions, his teachings, and why he is still read all over the world.

You will learn why Tolstoy fell out with the church, why he left home at the age of 82, and why his grave is simply a green hill on a forest clearing.
