Viac o knihe

Exploring profound existential questions, Tolstoy delves into his spiritual journey and the search for life's meaning. He reflects on his abandonment of Russian Orthodox faith, his achievements, and the subsequent sense of emptiness that followed. Through encounters with science, philosophy, and the insights of fellow writers, he finds no satisfactory answers. Ultimately, Tolstoy concludes that the deep religious convictions of ordinary people hold the key to understanding life's purpose. This essay offers a poignant examination of melancholia, philosophy, and faith from the esteemed author.
