In November, 1910, Russian author Leo Tolstoy died of pneumonia at Astapovo, a small, remote train station in the heart of Russia. His death came just weeks after Tolstoy, then 82 years old, left his wife, his comfortable estate, and his wealth, then traveled 26 hours to Sharmardino, where Tolstoy’s sister Marya lived, and where he planned to spend the remainder of his life in a small, rented hut.
