This collection of inspirational thoughts represents Tolstoy’s lifelong quest to find meaning and understand life’s purpose. Chronicled as a biographical arrangement of his philosophical views, featuring quotations from his earliest diaries, stories, religious writings, political tracts, conversations, and letters collected throughout his lifetime, Tolstoy tackles subjects such as self-improvement, education, marriage and family, good and evil, peace, war, and civil disobedience with his own unique perspective. These selections reveal Tolstoy as a sage fully immersed in and challenged by life: an intense person, writer, father, and husband. Providing an inspirational and spiritual journey of a man’s existential pursuit,
Tolstoy in Search of Truth and Meaning features the fullest expression of his ideals for readers seeking insight and wisdom from one of the greatest literary geniuses of all time.
