A Confession is a philosophical and autobiographical work by the renowned Russian writer Leo Tolstoy. In this book, Tolstoy reflects on his own spiritual crisis and the journey that led him to embrace a new and radical interpretation of Christianity. The book begins with Tolstoy's admission that he had lost all faith in the religious teachings he had been brought up with, and that he found himself in a state of despair and meaninglessness. He then goes on to describe the various attempts he made to find a new sense of purpose and meaning in life, including his study of philosophy, science, and literature. Despite his efforts, Tolstoy found himself increasingly disillusioned with the world and with himself. It was only when he turned to the teachings of Jesus Christ, as he interpreted them, that he was able to find the peace and meaning he had been seeking. Throughout the book, Tolstoy explores a range of philosophical and spiritual themes, including the nature of faith, the meaning of life, and the relationship between God and humanity. He also reflects on the role of art and literature in human life, and the ways in which they can both inspire and deceive us. A Confession is a deeply personal and introspective work that offers a unique insight into the mind of one of the greatest writers of all time. It is a powerful exploration of the human condition, and a testament to the enduring power of faith and spirituality.My life came to a standstill. I could breathe, eat, drink, and sleep, and I could not help doing these things; but there was no life, for there were no wishes the fulfillment of which I could consider reasonable. If I desired anything, I knew in advance that whether I satisfied my desire or not, nothing would come of it. Had a fairy come and offered to fulfil my desires I should not have know what to ask.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
