What Men Live By And Other Tales by Leo Tolstoy
4.0
Well, it’s LEO TOLSTOY!!! I don’t think I need to explain further.
This volume contains some of my favorite short stories by him- 3 questions, The coffee house in Surat, What men live by and God is where Love Is.
There are some really meaningful quotes I this book:
“Remember then: there is only one time that is important-- Now! It is the most important time because it is the only time when we have any power. The most necessary man is he with whom you are, for no man knows whether he will ever have dealings with any one else: and the most important affair is, to do him good, because for that purpose alone was man sent into this life!”
If only more people interpreted religious scriptures like he did!
At the risk of sounding overdramatic, I would say that, Leo Tolstoy’s books make my heart sing with joy.
