Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Tolstoy and His Message If Tolstoy left the university because of a dramatic picture of the labour question as a whole, he found himself at Yasnaia Poliana confronted with the same problem in its simplest and most comprehensive form, namely the land question. Why, indeed, should he, a lad of eighteen, own thousands of acres of the surface of the earth which God has given to the children of men, while his serfs, who cultivated it and made it fruitful, did not possess a foot P There is no reasonable answer to this question, and while Tolstoy may not have put it to himself in that form at that time, still he soon learned the futility of benevolence based upon land lordism.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Demands of Love and Reason: From Recent Published and Unpublished Writings of Leo Tolstoy One would think no kind of life could be better. But, nevertheless, this life will be hell, or will become hell, if these people are not hypocrites and do not lie, i.s., if they are really sincere. If these people have renounced the advantages and pleasures of life which town and money gave them, they have done so only because they acknowledge all men to be brothers equals before their Father. Not equals in ability, or, perhaps, in worth; but equals in their right to life, and to all that life can give.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Greater Parables of Tolstoy: With Interpretations as Told to His Congregation How far they express the preacher's own views does not concern the present purpose, which is to accurately condense and faithfully expound the stories. He has taken no liberties with his author; but whilst compelled to entirely pass over multitudes of incidents, he has stated and summarised the most important with painstaking fidelity, and adhered with absolute veracity to the course of the narratives. Neither has he wilfully tampered with his author's message; but, scrupulously ignoring the assents or dissents of his own mind, has anxiously endeavoured to set forth the ideas he believed to be in the mind of Tolstoy. The interpreter is less likely to have misled his readers, since he has for many years been a sympathetic student of, and in general agreement with, the writings of the greatest of modern Christians.

He was an idealist even in his youth. Even then he had a great longing for God, and he appears even then to have studied some of the greatest problems of life and thought. At a very early age he was a student at the university of Kazan, and afterwards he was a student in the university of St Petersburg. In the year 1851 he was for a time an officer in the Caucasus, and he was greatly delighted with the mountains of that district, and was profoundly and permanently impressed by them. He re.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 1910. Anna Karenina and War and Peace have made Leo Tolstoy the world's most famous author. But fame comes at a price.

But as we learn through the journals of those closest to him, the battle for Tolstoy's soul will not be a peaceful one. Jay Parini introduces, translates and edits this collection of Tolstoy's autobiographical writing, diaries, and letters related to the last year of Tolstoy's life published to coincide with the 2009 film of Parini's novel The Last Station: A Novel of Tolstoy's Final Year.

Download or read book The Kingdom of God Is Within You written by Leo Tolstoy and published by Courier Corporation. This book was released on 2012-03-06 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Banned in Russia, Tolstoy's The Kingdom of God Is Within You was deemed a threat to church and state. The culmination of a lifetime's thought, it espouses a commitment to Jesus's message of turning the other cheek. In a bold and original manner, Tolstoy shows his readers clearly why they must reject violence of any sort—even that sanctioned by the state or the church—and urges them to look within themselves to find the answers to questions of morality. In 1894, one of the first English translations of this book found its way into the hands of a young Gandhi. Inspired by its message of nonresistance to evil, the Mahatma declared it a source of "independent thinking, profound morality, and truthfulness." Much of this work's emotional and moral appeal lies in its emphasis on fair treatment of the poor and working class. Its view of Christianity, not as a mystic religion but as a workable philosophy originating from the words of a remarkable teacher, extends its appeal to secular and religious readers alike.

Book excerpt: #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER More than ONE MILLION copies sold A TODAY Show Read with Jenna Book Club Pick A New York Times Notable Book, and Chosen by Oprah Daily, Time, NPR, The Washington Post, Bill Gates and Barack Obama as a Best Book of the Year “Wise and wildly entertaining . . . permeated with light, wit, youth.” —The New York Times Book Review “A classic that we will read for years to come.” —Jenna Bush Hager, Read with Jenna book club “Fantastic. Set in 1954, Towles uses the story of two brothers to show that our personal journeys are never as linear or predictable as we might hope.” —Bill Gates “A real joyride . . . elegantly constructed and compulsively readable.” —NPR The bestselling author of A Gentleman in Moscow and Rules of Civility and master of absorbing, sophisticated fiction returns with a stylish and propulsive novel set in 1950s America In June, 1954, eighteen-year-old Emmett Watson is driven home to Nebraska by the warden of the juvenile work farm where he has just served fifteen months for involuntary manslaughter. His mother long gone, his father recently deceased, and the family farm foreclosed upon by the bank, Emmett's intention is to pick up his eight-year-old brother, Billy, and head to California where they can start their lives anew. But when the warden drives away, Emmett discovers that two friends from the work farm have hidden themselves in the trunk of the warden's car. Together, they have hatched an altogether different plan for Emmett's future, one that will take them all on a fateful journey in the opposite direction—to the City of New York. Spanning just ten days and told from multiple points of view, Towles's third novel will satisfy fans of his multi-layered literary styling while providing them an array of new and richly imagined settings, characters, and themes. “Once again, I was wowed by Towles’s writing—especially because The Lincoln Highway is so different from A Gentleman in Moscow in terms of setting, plot, and themes. Towles is not a one-trick pony. Like all the best storytellers, he has range. He takes inspiration from famous hero’s journeys, including The Iliad, The Odyssey, Hamlet, Huckleberry Finn, and Of Mice and Men. He seems to be saying that our personal journeys are never as linear or predictable as an interstate highway. But, he suggests, when something (or someone) tries to steer us off course, it is possible to take the wheel.” – Bill Gates
