THE WAY OF LIFE LEO TOLSTOY

"The Way of Life" is a collection of philosophical and religious thoughts and aphorisms by Leo Tolstoy, which was created in the last year of his life. This work consists of texts supplemented with sentences by other thinkers, in the author's free adaptation. Tolstoy created a coherent whole, which constitutes his life's credo and a work that he himself highly valued. Written in a few months in 1910, "The Way of Life" is the fruit and culmination of many years of reflections on primarily religious topics, which Tolstoy undertook when he considered his earlier literary work to be trivial.

• Collection of philosophical and religious thoughts

• Guide for those seeking a spiritual path

Tolstoy considers fundamental issues and proclaims radical solutions in the spirit of asceticism for moral self-improvement. Not religion, but a God recognizable to everyone, in his opinion, directs the human path of life. The volume of thoughts collected here is intended to serve as a guide for those who want to embark on such a path. It turns out to be difficult not only because of the radicalism of Tolstoy's teachings, but also because of the equivocations inherent in them, which arise, for example, from the clash of sharp political and social criticism with the idea of universal love and altruism.

The author passionately conveys his thoughts, which, combined with his literary genius, can convince even the most unconvinced, if not to practice, then at least to theory. "The Way of Life" is a work that encourages reflection on the meaning of existence, moral values and spiritual development. It is a guide for those who want to find their own path in life.
