Leo Tolstoy
Russian author, essayist and philosopher wrote the epic novel War and Peace (1865-69)
I had to read some of his works in my college courses. His works on philosophy had me thinking... WOW! Leo gets it. He understands.
Just seeing that there are some who are world known for their philosophy and understand life just like those of us who have lived through such things as recovery sure lifted my spirit towards the hope for mankind.
