<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Originally published: With What I believe. London: Oxford University Press, 1921.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>Despite having written <i>War and Peace</i> and <i>Anna Karenina</i>, Leo Tolstoy, at the age of 51, looked back on his life and considered it a meaningless, regrettable failure. <i>A Confession</i> provides insight into the great Russian writer's movement from the pursuit of aesthetic ideals toward matters of religious and philosophical consequence.<br>Authentic and genuinely moving, this memoir of midlife spiritual crisis was first distributed in 1872 and marked a turning point in the author's career as a writer: in subsequent years, Tolstoy would write almost exclusively about religious life, especially devotion among the peasantry.<br>Generations of readers have been inspired by this heartfelt reexamination of Christian orthodoxy and subsequent spiritual awakening. Ranked among the best books on the subject, this timeless work is for anyone who has ever worried about the fleeting nature of life and speculated about the value of existence.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Novelist, essayist, dramatist, and philosopher, Count Leo Tolstoy (1828-1910) is most famous for his sprawling portraits of 19th-century Russian life, as recounted in <i>Anna Karenina</i> and <i>War and Peace.</i>
