I think those books are the two most famous in the whole world! I wonder why he started writing. He started his career in the military, he was first drawn to writing books when he served in Chechenya, and already his first novel, Kazaky, was something quite unlike anything written before him. Oh, I see. OK, on to fine arts. It says here that there were many Tolstoy's in high society. Yes, Court Feodor Petrovich Tolstoy was one of the most fashionable Russian drawers and painters of the 1820s. Although he prepared fine illustrations, his true vocation was wax modeling and the design of medals. And also, Court Feodor Ivanovich Tolstoy who was a notorious drunkard, gastronome, and duelist. It is said that he killed 11 people in duels. He was involved in a different kind of art though. In 1803 he participated in the first Russian circumnavigation of the Earth and after he had his body tattooed! Well, it certainly seems that the Tolstoy's were interesting people, that's for sure.
