Nov 20, 1910
Lev Nikolayevich Tolstoy, the greatest Russian writer, died at age 82.
中文译名"列夫·托尔斯泰"是根据他俄语名字 Lev 音译的，尊称为“托翁”。英文一般写作Leo Tolstoy。
Usually referred to in English as Leo Tolstoy, he is regarded as one of the greatest authors of all time. He received nominations for the Nobel Prize in Literature every year from 1902 to 1906 and for the Nobel Peace Prize in 1901, 1902, and 1909; the fact that he never won is a major controversy. (Wikipedia)
托翁最著名的作品是《战争与和平》，但他本人并不认为这是一部小说，"not a novel, even less is it a poem, and still less a historical chronicle.” 他自己认为《安娜·卡列尼娜》才是他的第一部小说作品。
