Leo Tolstoy stands as an almost insurmountable peak for all realist writers. Self-proclaimed as Homer, Tolstoy can be considered the creator of epics. His works often resemble the Odyssey in their strangeness yet feel as familiar and intimate as Hemingway's. This unique blend of the unfamiliar and the familiar is the distinctive atmosphere of his works. In the shaping of his unique characters and the profound dramatic effects, Tolstoy's works also exhibit a strong Shakespearean style. Tolstoy was not only a great Russian writer but also a moral philosopher and social reformer, as well as an outstanding thinker of the 19th century. The intellectual and artistic power of his complete works has left an indelible mark on world literature.
