Summary up to 500 words

This comprehensive index serves as an exhaustive navigational guide to the literary universe of Leo Tolstoy, organizing his vast and diverse output into distinct volumes and thematic sections. The text systematically catalogs his major novels, beginning with the epic chronicles of Russian history in *War and Peace*, the tragic social realism of *Anna Karenina*, and the spiritual journey of *Resurrection*. It also encompasses his acclaimed short stories, such as *The Kreutzer Sonata*, *The Cossacks*, and *What Men Live By*, alongside his plays, fables for children, and philosophical essays like *A Letter to a Hindu*. By grouping works by genre and era, the index highlights Tolstoy's profound artistic evolution. It traces his transition from traditional realism to his later, deeply personal non-violent, Christian anarchist philosophy. The resource provides detailed tables of contents for each work, allowing readers to navigate the complex structures of his narratives, from the multi-volume sweep of historical fiction to intimate character studies in his autobiographical trilogy: *Childhood*, *Boyhood*, and *Youth*. The index further illuminates the development of his thought through collections like *Sevastopol Sketches*, *The Power of Darkness*, and *Three Questions*. It includes his posthumous plays and fables that teach moral lessons to the young, as well as his journals from the late nineteenth century, offering a window into his final years of reflection. This structured overview is essential for scholars and general readers seeking clear access to Tolstoy's contributions to world literature. It offers a complete map of his body of work, enabling a deep understanding of his themes, tone, and significance without the need for external references, effectively bridging the gap between his early aristocratic writings and his later radical moral teachings.
