Synopsis "Katia (in French)"

Nous étions en deuil de notre mère; elle était morte l'automne précédent et nous passâmes tout l'hiver à la campagne, seules, Macha, Sonia1 et moi. Macha était une ancienne amie de la maison; elle avait été notre gouvernante, nous avait toutes élevées, et mes souvenirs, comme mon affection pour elle, remontaient aussi loin que je me souvenais de moi-même. Sonia était ma soeur cadette. L'hiver s'écoula pour nous, sombre et triste, dans notre vieille maison de Pokrovski. Le temps fut froid, venteux, à tel point que la neige s'était amoncelée plus haut que les fenêtres; celles-ci étaient presque continuellement couvertes de glace et ternes, et d'un autre côté nous ne pûmes, à peu près pendant toute la saison, sortir ni nous promener nulle part.

Lev Nikoláievich also known in Spanish as León Tolstói; 28 de agosto/ 9 de septiembre de 1828- Astápovo, now Lev Tolstói, Lipetsk province, 7 de noviembre/ 20 de noviembre de 1910) was a Russian novelist, considered one of the most important writers in world literature. His childhood was marked by the early loss of his parents, leading him to be raised by his aunts. From a young age, Tolstói showed an unusual intellectual restlessness and critical view towards traditional education, abandoning his traditional education studies, leaving university studies in Law and Oriental Languages at Kazan University after finding no meaning in them

His two most famous works, War and Peace and Anna Karenina, are considered the pinnacle of Russian realism, alongside works by Fyodor Dostoevsky. He received multiple nominations for the Nobel Prize in Literature every year from 1902 to 1906 and nominations for the Nobel Peace Prize in 1901, 1902, and 1910; the fact that he never won is a major controversy of the Nobel Prize.

He is globally known for the novels War and Peace (1869) and Anna Karenina (1877), often cited as pinnacles of realistic fiction. He first achieved literary success in his youth with his semi-autobiographical trilogy, Childhood, Boyhood, and Youth (1852-1856), and Sebastopol Sketches (1855), based on his experiences in the Crimean War. Tolstói's fiction includes dozens of short stories and several novels such as The Death of Ivan Ilyich (1886), Family Happiness (1859), and Hadji Murat (1912). He also wrote plays and numerous philosophical essays.
