Free Appraisal, Auction or Sell Your Leo Tolstoy Signature
Leo Tolstoy was a Russian novelist and playwright who is well known for his classic novels War and Peace and Anna Karenina. Tolstoy also authored books with an autobiographical component such as the trilogy Childhood, Boyhood, and Youth. He became immersed in nonviolent resistance during his later years, which are conveyed in The Kingdom of God is Within You. Tolstoy’s nonviolent ideas widely influenced world peace leaders such as Gandhi and Martin Luther King Jr. Some of Tolstoy’s great works have been adapted into very successful films, such as the 1956 epic War and Peace starring Audrey Hepburn.

It is scarcely vanity to & care to succeed in what we undertake; I could find a better name for the feeling…which I remember with the greatest clearness is the ‘Autumn Holiday’; and if that was yours, I think I am already in your debt. For if I remember clearly, it was the success of the Autumn Holiday, and the pleasure I had in reading it, which encouraged to write and prepare for…my Inland Voyage. If it was not yours, well, we must all be prepared for Sosias: and I am myself haunted by a ‘Mr. Stevenson the author’ or umbra nominis, for me – who comes and goes and sometimes passes for me / Yours truly / Robert Louis Stevenson”.
