In St Augustinian style Tolstoy takes us through his own crisis of faith. After growing up wealthy in Russia the author felt that there was something fundamentally wrong with the European philosophy of the time and beautifully sets out his doubts and fears on paper. This volume also contains his other Religious writings expressing views way ahead of his times. Views that would see him at odds with the Orthodox Russia church but which express an ideology as relevant now as it was then. ( ) geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

Describing Tolstoy's crisis of depression and estrangement from the world, A Confession(1879) is an autobiographical work of exceptional emotional honesty. By the time he was fifty, Tolstoy had already written the novels that would assure him of literary immortality; he had a wife, a large estate and numerous children; he was 'a happy man' and in good health - yet life had lost its meaning. In this poignant confessional fragment, he records a period of his life when he began to turn away from fiction and aesthetics, and to search instead for 'a practical religion not promising future bliss but giving bliss on earth'. His searingly honest search for spiritual fulfilment also inspires the three other works collected here- Religion and Morality(1893), What is Religionand of What Does Its Essence Consist?(1902) and The Law of Love and the Law of Violence(1908).
