Confession
Leo Tolstoy
Book Overview:
Leo Tolstoy's "A Confession," written in 1882 shortly after a life-altering spiritual crisis, is a brutally sincere reflection on life, morality, and the nature of faith. Tolstoy describes in great detail the process by which he lost his faith in established Christian churches, the meaninglessness of wealth and fame, the agony of acute depression, and how he overcame misery and dread through personal study of the teachings of Jesus Christ. Along the way, he contrasts the artificial faith and arrogance of educated people with the genuine faith and humility of the Russian peasant. This work, and others of its ilk, were aggressively censored by the Tsarist regime and directly led to Tolstoy being excommunicated by the Russian Orthodox Church.

An interesting little book. Unhappy with just being brilliant, famous and wealthy the author narrates the story of his personal quest to find the truth about existence: the point to being alive, and the correct way to happiness. First he challenges science and philosophy for answers. Then he contemp

مذكرات ليو تولستوي الجريئة عن رحلة الشك واليقين، الإيمان والضلال، ومحاولة إيجاد أجوبة لأسئلة حائرة يضج بها تفكيره وعقله وتسلبه النوم والطمأنينة:
"من أنا؟"
"لماذا أعيش في هذ العالم؟ ولماذا يجب أن تكون لي رغبات؟ ولماذا يجب أن أعمل؟"

هذا هو السؤال الأخطر الذي طرأ على بال تولستوي ذات مرة وهو غمرة حياته وعنفوان شبابه وغارق في ملذات الحياة، لم يكن قبل ذلك يعرف معنى الحياة سوى من خلال اللذة الحسية التي كانت حاجزاً بينه وبين تلك الأس
