<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>In middle age Leo Tolstoy suffered a spiritual crisis that lasted over 30 years. 'My Confession' is an account of the anguish, confusion and missteps of this ordeal, and of his final reconciliation with faith and the purpose of life. A book that both uplifts and gives new insights into the intricate associations between reason and faith.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>Leo Tolstoy was much more than a writer of world famous novels. An avid social thinker, he was a supporter of 'Georgism' a revolutionary economic theory that advocated the abolition of all taxes except those on land ownership (see <em>Progress and Poverty</em>, Aziloth Book).</p> <p>But in early middle age Tolstoy suffered a spiritual crisis, enduring recurrent bouts of religious and moral misgivings which took over three decades to resolve. <em>My Confession</em> (the original title, better known today as <em>A Confession</em>) is the great man's account of these trials, of his anguish, confusion and missteps, and of his final reconciliation with faith, Deity and the purpose of life.</p> <p>This simple, beautifully constructed account of a great writer's spiritual journey will chime with all those who have sought after the true meaning of existence and the transcendent verities lying behind all religious life. While you may not fully agree with his conclusion, Tolstoy's <em>My Confession</em> will both uplift and give new insights into the multifarious - and at times surprising - associations between emotion, reason and faith.</p>
