Experience the profound journey of self-discovery with 'A Confession and Other Religious Writings' by Leo Tolstoy. This influential autobiographical work, first published in 1879, captures Tolstoy's existential crisis and quest for spiritual meaning, set against the backdrop of his accomplished literary career. Despite his personal successes—his celebrated novels, a full family life, and wealth—Tolstoy reflects on a deep sense of inner turmoil and the search for genuine happiness beyond material possessions. This edition from Penguin UK, published in 1987, features a generous 240 pages filled with Tolstoy's heartfelt introspection. His exploration of practical religion challenges readers to find bliss and purpose in the present rather than in promises of future rewards. Ideal for those interested in spirituality, Russian literature, or literary confessions, 'A Confession and Other Religious Writings' resonates with anyone searching for meaning in their own life. This tome not only showcases Tolstoy's literary genius but also invites readers to engage with profound philosophical questions.

Description:
Describing Tolstoy's crisis of depression and estrangement from the world, A Confession (1879) is an autobiographical work of exceptional emotional honesty. By the time he was fifty, Tolstoy had already written the novels that would assure him of literary immortality; he had a wife, a large estate and numerous children; he was 'a happy man' and in good health - yet life had lost its meaning. In this poignant confessional fragment, he records a period of his life when he began to turn away from fiction and aesthetics, and to search instead for 'a practical religion not promising future bliss, but giving bliss on earth'.
