Leo Tolstoy
This vintage photograph of Leo Tolstoy, taken in 1908 near Starina in the Nizhny Novgorod region of Russia, captures one of the last images of the legendary author of War and Peace and Anna Karenina.
By the early 20th century, Tolstoy had become not only one of the world’s most admired Russian writers, but also a moral philosopher and spiritual leader. He had renounced his aristocratic lifestyle, choosing instead a life of simplicity, manual labor, and meditation.
This rare historic photo of Leo Tolstoy offers a glimpse into his final years — a period marked by deep reflection, humility, and the timeless humanism that shaped his literary legacy.
