Produktbeschreibung
My Religion was written by Leo Tolstoy because in about the last 25 years of his life he became very interested in Christianity. Tolstoy believed and set about following as best he could understand the philosophical and practical truth and wisdom of the gospel teachings of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, God's Son. Tolstoy in exfoliating religious outgrowth addresses the practicality of what are living teachings as Jesus taught them, with a view to the benefits that the reader can immediately use and implement and utilize to enhance one's spirituality and future development. The critical reception of My Religion in Tolstoy's time was that he was excommunicated from the Russian Orthodox church; and this book in particular was banned in Russia by the Czar. My Religion is a very engaging book to benefit all truth-seekers. This edition has been carefully and lovingly edited by Alan Lewis Silva. In select places the translation has been modified for readability. It also contains a brief editorial supplement.
Autorenporträt
Count Lev Nikolayevich Tolstoy (1828 - 1910), usually referred to in English as Leo Tolstoy, was a Russian writer who is regarded as one of the greatest authors of all time. Born to an aristocratic Russian family in 1828, he is best known for the novels War and Peace (1869) and Anna Karenina (1877), often cited as pinnacles of realist fiction. He first achieved literary acclaim in his twenties with his semi-autobiographical trilogy, Childhood, Boyhood and Youth (1852-1856) and Sevastopol Sketches (1855), based upon his experiences in the Crimean War. Tolstoy's fiction includes dozens of short stories and several novellas such as The Death of Ivan Ilyich, Family Happiness, and Hadji Murad. He also wrote plays and numerous philosophical essays. In the 1870s Tolstoy experienced a profound moral crisis, followed by what he regarded as an equally profound spiritual awakening, as outlined in his non-fiction work A Confession. His literal interpretation of the ethical teachings of Jesus, centering on the Sermon on the Mount, caused him to become a fervent Christian anarchist and pacifist. Tolstoy's ideas on nonviolent resistance, expressed in such works as The Kingdom of God Is Within You, were to have a profound impact on such pivotal 20th-century figures as Mohandas Gandhi, Martin Luther King, Jr. and James Bevel. Tolstoy also became a dedicated advocate of Georgism, the economic philosophy of Henry George, which he incorporated into his writing, particularly Resurrection.
