As NPR's Neda Ulaby reports, the star turned political dissident had a dramatic life.

NPR记者尼达·阿比报道，这位有政见的明星有着传奇的一生。

In 1863, he set out to write a short novel about a political dissident returning from exile in Siberia.

1863年，托尔斯泰本来打算 写一本关于政见不合的短篇小说，此时他刚从西伯利亚流亡回来。

Five years later,he had produced a 1,200 page epic featuring love stories,battlefields,bankruptcies, firing squads,religious visions,the burning of Moscow,and a semi-domesticated bear, but no exile and no political dissidents.

5年后，他洋洋洒洒写了1200页, 这部著作中包含了爱情故事、战争、经济破产、消防队员、宗教、莫斯科大火、以及半驯化的熊，但是书中并未讲到流亡和政见不合。
