This book includes religious and philosophical treatises L.N. Tolstoy’s “confession” and “about life”, in which the great writer and thinker summed up the results of the years of his spiritual and moral searches.
The main topic of “confession” is the search for God by a person who is experiencing an existential crisis suffering from the meaninglessness of life and does not have the desired meaning in any of the existing religions. The key to solving this problem, Tolstoy found in the universal and unorthodox concept of God as a world harmony, the creator of life and man, the highest spirituality.
“About life” is a work in which Tolstoy formulates its philosophical foundations of worldview. The main theme in it is the invaluration of death for a person who has known the meaning of life in the performance of the highest good – to the ministry of moral truth. The writer is deeply sure: each of us can escape from death through spiritual rebirth.
