Leo Tolstoy is the greatest writer in the Western world—greater, yes, than Shakespeare, Dante, Dickens, Dostoyevsky, and Proust. In evidence I would submit his two masterpiece novels War and Peace (1867) and Anna Karenina (1878), and 20 or so magnificent novellas and short stories, among them "The Death of Ivan Ilych," "The Kreutzer Sonata," "Father Sergius," "Hadji Murad," and "Master and Man."
