Confession. On Life

This book includes the religious-philosophical treatises of L.N. Tolstoy "Confession" and "On Life", in which the great writer and thinker summarizes the years of his spiritual and moral quest.

The main theme of "Confession" is the search for God by a person experiencing an existential crisis, suffering from the meaninglessness of life and finding no desired meaning in any existing religions. Tolstoy found the key to solving this problem in the universal and unorthodox concept of God as world harmony, the creator of life and humanity, the highest spirituality.

"On Life" is a work in which Tolstoy formulates his philosophical foundations of worldview. The main theme is the unimportance of death for a person who has understood the meaning of life in the fulfillment of the highest good—serving moral truth. The writer is deeply convinced: each of us can be saved from death through spiritual rebirth.
