The final novel published in the lifetime of Count Lyof N. Tolstoi - Leo Tolstoy - originally published in its original Russian in 1899.
The novel that catalysed Tolstoy's ex-communication from the Russian Orthodox Church due to its critical reflection on the place of religion in contemporary Russian life, and how he concluded that the status quo of the 19th Century - heavily reliant on the Orthodox Church - did not offer real or lasting justice for the everyman.
