  <about><![CDATA[Count Lev Nikolayevich Tolstoy (Russian: Лев Никола́евич Толсто́й), commonly referred to in English as Leo (Lyof, Lyoff) Tolstoy, was a Russian writer – novelist, essayist, dramatist and philosopher – as well as pacifist Christian anarchist and educational reformer. He was the most influential member of the aristocratic Tolstoy family.

As a fiction writer, Tolstoy is widely regarded as one of the greatest of all novelists, particularly noted for his masterpieces &lt;i&gt;War and Peace&lt;/i&gt; and &lt;i&gt;Anna Karenina&lt;/i&gt;. In their scope, breadth and realistic depiction of 19th-century Russian life, the two books stand at the peak of realist fiction. As a moral philosopher Tolstoy was notable for his ideas on nonviolent resistance through works such as &lt;i&gt;The Kingdom of God is Within You&lt;/i&gt;, which in turn influenced such twentieth-century figures as Mohandas K. Gandhi and Martin Luther King, Jr.]]></about>    <gender>male</gender>  <hometown>Yasnaya Polyana</hometown>  <born_at>08/28/1828</born_at>  <died_at>11/20/1910</died_at>
