This book includes Leo Tolstoy's religious and philosophical treatises "Confession" and "On Life," in which the great writer and thinker summed up the years of his spiritual and moral quest.The main theme of the "Confession" is the search for God by a person experiencing an existential crisis, suffering from the meaninglessness of life and not finding the desired meaning in any of the existing religions. Tolstoy found the key to solving this problem in the universal and unorthodox concept of God as world harmony, creator of life and man, and supreme spirituality."About Life" is a work in which Tolstoy formulates his philosophical foundations of the worldview. The main theme in it is the unimportance of death for a person who has learned the meaning of life in the fulfillment of the highest good — the service of moral truth. The writer is deeply convinced that each of us can be saved from death through spiritual rebirth.
