A Confession By Tolstoy, Leo Nikolayevich Paperback On 01 Oct 2009 by Leo Tolstoy

A personal, philosophical memoir in which the narrator recounts a profound spiritual crisis triggered by the awareness of mortality and the failure of science, philosophy, and art to provide satisfactory meaning; after years of despair he describes a gradual moral and spiritual awakening that embraces the ethical core of Christianity while rejecting institutional dogma and ritual, culminating in a commitment to simple living, nonviolence, and sincere moral effort.
