Uma Confissão by Leo Tolstoy
In a candid autobiographical essay, the narrator recounts a long spiritual crisis in which reason, science and philosophical systems fail to answer the question of life’s meaning; confronting despair and even thoughts of suicide, he describes his search through literature, philosophy and religion and his eventual turning to a simple, morally-driven Christian faith that rejects formal dogma and emphasizes inner transformation, nonviolence and the practical demands of living truthfully.
