Leo Tolstoy. Confession. What is my faith? About life

Leo Nikolayevich Tolstoy, the great Russian writer and thinker, not only left a rich literary legacy but also dedicated a significant part of his life to philosophical reflections. After a spiritual crisis in the late 1870s, Tolstoy turned to questions of faith, morality, and the meaning of life, which led him to create the works "Confession", "What is my faith?", and "About life".

In "Confession", Tolstoy explores his spiritual awakening, sharing honest and sometimes painful reflections. After successes in his literary career and personal life, the writer experiences a deep sense of emptiness and longing, leading him to contemplate religious truths and the essence of human existence. In the treatise "What is my faith?", he offers a simpler form of Christianity based on love and nonviolence, which influenced figures such as Mahatma Gandhi and Martin Luther King. In the essay "About life", the writer continues to explore the theme of moral and spiritual quests. These works can not only illustrate the evolution of Tolstoy as a thinker but also, even today, help people find their own path to truth.
