Ga’on Rabbi Avraham Yeshaya Karelitz (1879-1954), genius of Halachah and philosophy of our generation. Phenomenal Torah giant and concealed Tzaddik. Published his first book Chazon Ish anonymously in 1911, and from then on was referred to by the name of his book. After World War I resided in Vilnius.
