Leo Tolstoy studied law and Oriental languages in college before leaving the university - he was declared unwilling and unable to learn. His greatest novels, "War and Peace" and "Anna Karenina," were written early in his marriage, which later devolved into what has since been named the unhappiest relationship in literary history. He suffered from depression for most of his life, and died in 1910 shortly after deciding to pursue the life of a wandering ascetic, a path he had been considering for decades.
