Synopsis "Los cosacos (in Spanish)"

Los casacos, Sebastopol y relatos de guerra es la tríada literaria en la que Tolstoi asevera que la guerra es una demencia colectiva, o bien, que los hombres no son los seres razonables que suponemos. Dice que se combate sin saber por qué, pese a que todos son hombres, en primer término, y hermanos en la vastedad de la gran familia; son instrumentos de odio y de destrucción al servicio de los gobiernos; a menudo incapaces de percibir por qué viven y por qué mueren, pero dignos de una igualdad superior a la de la muerte: la vida.

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.
