To be honest I find Leo Tolstoy a little scary to read still even though I've read works from him before, I still havnt got throughy feelings of his works being complicated. I saw this on my book app and decided to give it a try as it's a short story and I'm very glad I did. It was very raw and personal. You can really feel the intense emotion Leo Tolstoy feelt for religion and life and it was a very interesting read.

This man gets it.

Truly wonderful little book.

Though Tolstoy eventually goes - a little in this book, but much more in later books - into areas and sects of Christian thinking that I can't follow him into, this book is beneficial for everyone.

This is the story of a man who had everything and dared to ask: "But why?"

finding out the author of your favorite book actually hated said book…..big sad

but what a read! dark and insightful and confusing and jaw dropping….to be a thinker is to be a tragedy.
