Episode 7: Leo Tolstoy (Moscow 1887)

The year is 1887 and we’re in Moscow to interview Leo Tolstoy, the Russian writer of War & Peace, and Anna Karenina. His novels almost single-handedly transformed the world of literature, but he was never satisfied that he had done enough. Listen to the interview to find out why, and what really drove him.
