Leo Tolstoy: The Noble Who Rebelled
Born into wealth but disgusted by it, Tolstoy rejected privilege, abandoned luxury, and led his own rebellion—against organized religion, wealth, and the empire that made him rich. He lived among peasants, preached simplicity, and wrote stories that exposed war, greed, and corruption.
His words were dangerous—they inspired revolutions, challenged rulers, and refused to be silenced. The state feared him, the elite hated him, but the people never stopped reading him.
A noble by birth, a peasant by choice, a legend forever.
