Lev Tolstoy: Revizyonlar arasındaki fark

 

{{Başka dilden çevrilmekte}}

Leo (pronounced in his family circle as "Lyov", not "Lev") was born on his father's estate of [[Yasnaya Polyana]], in the [[Tula, Russia|Tula]] [[guberniya]] of Central Russia. The [[Tolstoy]]s are a well-known family of old Russian nobility, the writer's mother was born a Princess [[Volkonsky]], while his grandmothers came from the [[Troubetzkoy]] and [[Gorchakov]] princely families. Tolstoy was connected to the grandest families of Russian aristocracy; [[Alexander Pushkin]] was his fourth cousin. The fact of belonging by birth to the best Russian nobility marks off Tolstoy very distinctly from the other writers of his generation. He always remained a class-conscious nobleman who cherished his impeccable French pronunciation and kept aloof from the [[intelligentsia]].
