He is considered one of the greatest novelists in any language in
all of human history, but Leo Tolstoy was also an influential
social reformer, peace advocate, and spiritual philosopher. Here,
he collects pearls of wisdom from the sacred treasuries of cultures
around the globe-lofty thoughts about religious aspirations,
temporal life, and moral conduct-interspersed with his own
philosophies on matters such as the soul, sin, lust, anger, vanity,
false religion, false science, and more. First published
posthumously in 1919, this remains an inspirational work... and one
that illuminates the mind of one of our most esteemed writers.
Russian writer COUNT LEV ("LEO") NIKOLAYEVICH TOLSTOY (1828-1910)
is best known for his novels War and Peace (1869) and Anna Karenina
(1877).
He is considered one of the greatest novelists in any language in
all of human history, but many of Leo Tolstoy's works remain
obscure today. This short novel, first published in 1862, gives us
Dmitiri Olenin: reluctant soldier and ne'er-do-well aristocrat who
falls in love with a peasant Cossack girl. Semi-autobiographical
and considered by some to be among the most beautiful prose in the
original Russian, it is essential reading for fans and students of
Tolstoy's work. Russian writer COUNT LEV ("LEO") NIKOLAYEVICH
TOLSTOY (1828-1910) is best known for his novels War and Peace
(1869) and Anna Karenina (1877).

at www.1stWorldLibrary.ORG - - All is quiet in Moscow. The squeak
of wheels is seldom heard in the snow-covered street. There are no
lights left in the windows and the street lamps have been
extinguished. Only the sound of bells, borne over the city from the
church towers, suggests the approach of morning. The streets are
deserted. At rare intervals a night-cabman's sledge kneads up the
snow and sand in the street as the driver makes his way to another
corner where he falls asleep while waiting for a fare. An old woman
passes by on her way to church, where a few wax candles burn with a
red light reflected on the gilt mountings of the icons. Workmen are
already getting up after the long winter night and going to their
work - but for the gentlefolk it is still evening. From a window in
Chevalier's Restaurant a light - illegal at that hour - is still to
be seen through a chink in the shutter. At the entrance a carriage,
a sledge, and a cabman's sledge, stand close together with their
backs to the curbstone. A three-horse sledge from the post-station
is there also. A yard-porter muffled up and pinched with cold is
sheltering behind the corner of the house.

It happened in the 'seventies in winter, on the day after St.
Nicholas's Day. There was a fete in the parish and the innkeeper,
Vasili Andreevich Brekhunov, a Second Guild merchant, being a
church elder had to go to church, and had also to entertain his
relatives and friends at home. But when the last of them had gone
he at once began to prepare to drive over to see a neighbouring
proprietor about a grove which he had been bargaining over for a
long time. He was now in a hurry to start, lest buyers from the
town might forestall him in making a profitable purchase.
He is considered one of the greatest novelists in any language in
all of human history, but Leo Tolstoy was also an influential
social reformer and peace advocate. Subtitled "Christianity Not as
a Mystical Teaching but as a New Concept of Life," this powerful
exploration of the preachings of Jesus from a pacifistic
perspective. First published in 1893, it introduced such important
20th-century figures as Mahatma Gandhi and Martin Luther King to
the concept of nonviolent resistance. This edition is vital reading
for anyone wishing to understand the history of protest around the
world or gain a deeper appreciation of pacifistic Christianity.
