Features: Most of Tolstoy's novels reflect the real life of Russian society in the 19th century, depicting a variety of characters and creating numerous vivid archetypes. Reading Tolstoy's novels, we seem to immerse ourselves in the Russian environment of that time, as if we were truly there. Engaging with characters of different identities and personalities, we feel as if we see them and hear them. At the same time, as we experience their joys and sorrows, joys and sorrows, we naturally develop a strong sense of empathy for their plight. Artistic works primarily move people through emotion. Reading excellent literary works can also lead to unconscious beneficial cultivation, and thereby inspire reflections on the world and life. Tolstoy's life was mainly concerned with people, sympathizing with the suffering of the unfortunate and contemplating how to fill the world with sincere love between people—that is, promoting the spirit of humanism. It is this great personality that has moved and continues to move the hearts of all upright people in the world. No wonder his works have been translated into many languages worldwide and have always ranked first in print numbers among classic works.
