Leo Tolstoy: Spiritual Writings

Leo Tolstoy (18281910) was the author of such classic Russian novels as War and Peace and Anna Karenina. In mid-life, he underwent a deep moral and spiritual crisis that led him back to the Gospels in an effort to conform his life to the spirit of Christ. This volume focuses on his "spiritual writings"—autobiographical reflections on his journey of faith, commentaries on the Gospels, essays on the essence of Christianity, and timeless wisdom regarding the meaning of human existence.
