dominikaduch 's review for:

A Confession by Leo Tolstoy
4.0

Lots of thought-provoking philosophical arguments, it’s nice to see the author’s journey through different beliefs (yes he does contradict things he said earlier as the essay progresses). It does have the tone of “I’m a smart educated rich man so I must be right”, he momentarily seems to appreciate the simple people’s wisdom yet still is not satisfied and quickly forgets that perspective. The book ends quite abruptly and you’re left not really knowing what the conclusion was, the prologue does not really help much.
