My Confession |
| Description: |
|
My Confession is Tolstoy’s deeply personal spiritual autobiography, in which he reflects on his existential crisis during midlife. Despite fame and literary success, he found himself haunted by the question: “What is the meaning of life?” Struggling with despair and thoughts of suicide, Tolstoy turned away from the Church and intellectual philosophy, ultimately discovering purpose in the faith and simplicity of the common people. |

My Religion |
| Description: |
|
My Religion is Tolstoy’s bold declaration of his personal faith, written after a deep spiritual crisis. Rejecting the doctrines of the Orthodox Church, he embraces the moral teachings of Jesus—especially the command to resist not evil—as the core of true Christianity. He calls for nonviolence, love for all people, rejection of war, oaths, and state authority. The book articulates the foundation of Tolstoy’s Christian anarchism and his belief that living according to Christ’s Sermon on the Mount is the only path to spiritual truth. Its radical message influenced pacifists worldwide, including Gandhi. |

What Shall We Do Then? |
| Description: |
|
What Shall We Do Then? is Tolstoy’s urgent moral and social critique, written after he confronted the extreme poverty in Moscow. Disturbed by the contrast between wealthy elites and starving peasants, he asks how a moral person should live in such a society. Rejecting charity that preserves inequality, Tolstoy calls for personal renunciation of luxury, honest labor, and direct service to those in need. |
