Description
Around the age of fifty, Tolstoy began to experience profound moments of confusion about his place in life. He struggled with questions that had once seemed self-evidently meaningful, now appearing hollow. This deeply personal story explores his search for an answer to the ultimate philosophical question: If God does not exist, and death is inevitable, what is the meaning of life? Tolstoy grapples with four possible attitudes toward this dilemma, each with its own merit but ultimately deemed unsatisfactory. After careful examination, he turns to a mystical, intuitive affirmation of God's presence, which fills his life with new meaning and leads him toward a new understanding of spirituality and morality. This Warbler Classics edition includes Tolstoy's essays "Religion and Morality" and "Church and State," as well as a new introduction that contextualizes his search for truth.
