Sinossi
Descrivendo la crisi di depressione e l'estraniamento dal mondo di Tolstoj, A Confession è un'opera autobiografica di eccezionale onestà emotiva. Descrive la sua ricerca di "una religione pratica che non promettesse beatitudine futura ma donasse beatitudine sulla terra". Sebbene la Confessione lo abbia portato alla scomunica, ha anche portato alla nascita di un vasto seguito di cristiani tolstoiani in tutta la Russia e l'Europa. Nel corso della storia, alcuni libri hanno cambiato il mondo. Hanno trasformato il modo in cui vediamo noi stessi e gli altri. Hanno ispirato dibattiti, dissenso, guerra e rivoluzione. Hanno illuminato, indignato, provocato e confortato. Hanno arricchito vite e le hanno distrutte. Ora Penguin vi offre le opere dei grandi pensatori, pionieri, radicali e visionari le cui idee hanno scosso la civiltà e ci hanno aiutato a diventare ciò che siamo.

Informazioni sull?autore
Count Leo Nikolayevich Tolstoy was born in 1828 and educated privately. He studied Oriental languages and Law at the University of Kazan, then led a life of pleasure until he joined an artillery regiment in the Caucasus in 1851. He served during the Crimean War and after the defence of Sebastopol wrote The Sebastopol Sketches, which established his reputation. He continued to write while developing educational projects, writing War and Peace and Anna Karenina between 1865 and 1876. A Confession marked an outward change in his life and works: he became an extreme rationalist and moralist, and his theories led to his excommunication from the Russian Holy Synod in 1901. He died in 1910.
Dalla quarta di copertina
Describing Tolstoy's crisis of depression and estrangement from the world, A Confession is an autobiographical work of exceptional emotional honesty. It describes his search for 'a practical religion not promising future bliss but giving bliss on earth'. Although the Confession led to his excommunication, it also resulted in a large following of Tolstoyan Christians springing up throughout Russia and Europe.
