Tolstoy in the time he was writing War and Peace.

War and Peace

It’s even hard to believe that a single human being could have written such a thing all by himself.

Of course, if the collected works of Shakespeare could be counted as a single book, a single organic structure, I would choose that as my favorite book of all time.

Other works that I deeply love are the short-stories “The Death of Ivan Ilicht” and “Kolsthomer”, both by Tolstoy. And also:

Lolita
One Hundred Years of Solitude
Nothing Like the Sun
