But today he seems to see through everyone's essence, and feels that everything is disgusting: General Kirchagan is rude and arrogant; Big miss is eager to get married; The duchess put on airs. He made an excuse to leave early.
When he got home, he began to reflect and purify his soul, and found that he and the people around him were "shameful and disgusting". Mother's behavior before her death; His ambiguous relationship with the eldest daughter of the nobility; He opposed private ownership of land, but inherited his mother's grange. All this happened after the crime against Katyusha. He decided to change his life, and the next day he announced to the housekeeper: pack up, dismiss the servants and move out of this big house.

Lev tolstoy is a famous Russian writer, a great writer, thinker and reformer in the 9th century. 1828 was born in Paulia, Jasna, about 160km south of Moscow, and entered Kazan University at the age of16. 185 1 year, he joined the army and went to the Caucasus. 1852, published his first novel "Childhood" in Modern People magazine. He participated in the Crimean War in 1854, and later described his experience in his work The Story of Sevastopol. 1857 to France, Sweden and Germany. He wrote a series of short stories from 1855 to 1863, paying attention to moral issues. Travel to western Europe again 1860 to 186 1. He got married on 1862. During the 0/5 years after marriage, he created two great masterpieces: War and Peace and Anna karenin.
War and Peace is generally regarded as one of the greatest novels in world literature. Tolstoy spent nearly seven years writing this magnificent epic, and this masterpiece far exceeds his previous works in terms of scale and discussion of problems. All the materials of life are woven in a huge brocade, and the handling of rich materials and many characters is extremely objective. However, there are also some chapters in the novel that are often criticized by critics. In these chapters, Tolstoy expounded his philosophy of history and talked about war and its planners. This lengthy discussion is not conducive to the coordination of the book and becomes an artistic defect.
Anna karenin wrote in 1873 to 1877. Although it is similar to War and Peace in narrative method and style, it is quite harmonious in art. During the period between the writing of War and Peace and Anna karenin, Tolstoy's philosophy of life was changing. War and Peace is an optimistic novel that loves life. Its main characters are morally sound and can dominate their inner conflicts. On the other hand, Anna karenin is pessimistic. The inner conflicts of its protagonists are often unresolved, and sometimes lead to human disasters. The tragic fate of Anna and W. Lenski is inevitable.
After the completion of Anna karenin, Tolstoy experienced a spiritual crisis after a long and difficult exploration of the purpose of life. After 1880, he spent a lot of time writing some books, pamphlets and papers to explain his religious, social, moral and artistic views. Later, he also wrote many short stories and plays about moral and sexual issues.
When Tolstoy was 7 1 year-old, he wrote his last novel Resurrection, in which there were many wonderful chapters, especially the first one. The author's narrative was poetic and fascinating, and the trial scene was also a masterpiece of realism. Critics believe that from the artistic point of view, Resurrection is far inferior to War and Peace and Anna karenin. It was written in a hurry, and its moral preaching and fierce attack on the judicial system, criminal system and church rituals made it look like it was written by the debater Tolstoy, not by the writer Tolstoy.
19 10 In June 5438+00, the deterioration of family relations forced Tolstoy to secretly run away from home one night. 165438+1On October 20th, he died of pneumonia at the remote Astabao station in Ryazan province.
