Leo Tolstoy

"Russian novelist Leo Tolstoy (1828-1910) was the author of such classics as War and Peace and Anna Karenina. In mid-life, however, he underwent a deep moral and spiritual crisis that led him back to the gospels in an effort to conform his life to the spirit of Christ. This volume focuses on his "spiritual writings"--Autobiographical reflections on his journey of faith, commentaries on the gospels, and essays, on the essence of Christianity."--Jacket.
