Leo Tolstoy was a Russian writer and philosopher who is widely regarded as one of the greatest novelists of all time. His most famous works include War and Peace and Anna Karenina, both of which are considered masterpieces of literature. Tolstoy's writing was known for its realism, attention to detail, and profound psychological insights into human behavior. In addition to his literary accomplishments, Tolstoy was also a prominent social and political thinker. He was deeply influenced by his Christian faith and believed in the importance of nonviolence and pacifism. He also advocated for social and economic equality, rejecting the inequalities of the aristocratic society he was born into. Later in life, Tolstoy became increasingly interested in spiritual matters, rejecting organized religion and instead seeking a more personal, direct connection with God. His writings on spirituality and morality continue to inspire readers and thinkers to this day.Zum Buch

The Obliterated Man is a short story by H. G. Wells. Herbert George "H. G." Wells (21 September 1866 - 13 August 1946) was an English writer, now best known for his work in the science fiction genre. He was also a prolific writer in many other genres, including contemporary novels, history, politics and social commentary, even writing textbooks and rules for war games. Wells is sometimes called "The Father of Science Fiction", as are Jules Verne and Hugo Gernsback. His most notable science fiction works include The War of the Worlds, The Time Machine, The Invisible Man and The Island of Doctor Moreau. Wells's earliest specialised training was in biology, and his thinking on ethical matters took place in a specifically and fundamentally Darwinian context. He was also from an early date an outspoken socialist, often (but not always, as at the beginning of the First World War) sympathising with pacifist views.Zum Buch
