He wrote some famous novels, such as War and Peace, Anna Karenina and The Death of Ivan Ilvich. His epic, War and Peace, has been regarded as one of the best works of literature. It is about the 1812 invasion of Russia by the French general, Napoleon. It also talks about the Tsarist society in the opinion of five Russian upper-class families. He also doesn't shave, which is why he has a massive, enormous, humongous, immense and very, very unique beard, even more unique than its owner, which is quite a feat in itself since he is very unique and influential.
